It remains the same for addressing both singular and plural. For instance, if I were to say, "Namaste brothers" or "Namaste brother" in Hindi, I would say "Namaste bhaiyon" or "Namaste bhai". Namaste remains constant. Best wishes, Manish Modi svadhyayat ma pramadah HINDI GRANTH KARYALAY Booksellers and Publishers 9, Hirabaug, C.P.
