When you start a new game of NetHack, or restore a saved game, or receive mail, or enter a shop, you are greeted:

"Hello <player>, welcome to NetHack!  You are a <alignment> <gender> <race> <Class>."
"Hello, <player>!  Welcome to <Shopkeeper>'s <shop type>!"

For some classes "Hello" is replaced by a themed greeting:

  • Knight: Salutations (Olde English)
  • Samurai: Konnichi wa (Japanese)
  • Tourist: Aloha (Hawaiian)
  • Valkyrie: Velkommen (Norse)

Also, a mail daemon will say "Hallo" to a Valkyrie instead of "Hello".
