Talk:Ta shi De lek

Tashi Delek has become the common, everyday, Tibetan greeting, but it was not always so. Tashi means auspicious and delek (also transliterated, deleg or deleh) means fine or well. It is properly used at the end of a message or meeting. The phrase means something like, "May everything be well" or "auspicious greetings." It is also used as a synonym for the word "greetings," so people are heard to say, "Many tashi deleks."
