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 translated greeting^[1]:

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

When ending the game, you get the message

Goodbye, <player> the <Class>...

There are also translated versions of "Goodbye"^[2]:
