Welcome message
Hello message
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]:
- Knight: Salutations (Olde English)
- Samurai: Konnichi wa (Japanese) or Irasshaimase if a shopkeeper
- Tourist: Aloha (Hawaiian)
- Valkyrie: Velkommen (Norse) or Hallo if a mail daemon
Goodbye message
When ending the game or being drained of a level, you get the message
Goodbye, <player> the <Class>... Goodbye level <level>.
There are also translated versions of "Goodbye"[2]:
- Knight: Fare thee well (Olde English)
- Samurai: Sayonara (Japanese)
- Tourist: Aloha (Hawaiian)
- Valkyrie: Farvel (Norse)
