Actually the Sri Lankan greeting Ayubowan is not a hello. Ayubowan is actually Ayu – bo – wan. Ayu is short for Ayusha, which means how long you will live. bo is short for boho which means a lot/many etc. Wan is for wewa which is like wishing something for you.
So in Sinhalese Ayubowan means wishing you a long life.
