Sri is a word which is taken with respect, and used when initiating any noble cause.
What does srimati/shrimathi mean? Is this to address women? Andries 12:40, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
From what I know, Sri can also mean "bountiful". Komitsuki ( talk) 09:28, 26 January 2013 (UTC)
There's no such thing as a "feminine subjunctive gender" in Sanskrit. There's a feminine gender for nouns, and remnants of an ancient subjunctive mood for verbs..-- Grammatical error 17:21, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
Sri is also used as an honorific, to indicate that the person being honored is prosperous. This ought to be in the article. nein? Alamandrax 14:48, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
Hi.
I saw this:
"When used as a title for gods, Śrī is sometimes translated into English as Lord, but this is inaccurate and it is generally agreed that Śrī is best left untranslated."
But can a _definition_ of it be given, or is it not the kind of thing that has one per se? mike4ty4 ( talk) 06:52, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
We read that:
Is this really correct for all the relevant languages? I know nothing about the relevant languages, but it's rare for languages as closely related as the romance languages to be all in such precise agreement.
When talking in English, we can choose between the "s" and "sh" sounds of "seat" and "sheet" respectively: we've no halfway phoneme. In English, what are the relative pros and cons of the "s" and "sh" sounds for, say, "Sri Lanka"? -- Hoary ( talk) 07:44, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
A pretty good article overall, this article needs sourcing. Tagged as such.-- Lendorien ( talk) 19:33, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
There are up to four languages found in the Balinese Wayang - Javanese, Balinese, Kawi and Pali - in addition to Bahasa Indonesia with its Malay borrowings which may be used these days in simple explanation for a wider audience. I have found a reference to Sri as being occasionally called Cili - but no confirmation as to which language context this is. It may even be a Sinicised pronunciation. 210.50.143.21 ( talk) 13:38, 1 August 2010 (UTC) Ian Ison
The redirection header on this article is badly broken and has no links to any of the pages it is trying to link to. I do not know enough Wiki markup to fix it, though. Liam Proven ( talk) 12:01, 9 October 2011 (UTC)

The word "Shri' or "Sri' is the same word in the Indo-European, as 'Sir' as in a knighthood by the ancient Royal families of Celtic Britain, and also the common usage of "Excuse me sir, you dropped your card." It is not really "Mr" or "Ms". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Two Wrongs ( talk • contribs) 16:02, 1 January 2015 (UTC)
Have removed this as WP:OR, since the source only pointed to an online dictionary and didn't give any reliable indication of whether the title was a later addition or not. LouiseS1979 (pigeonhole) 15:28, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
I think the title word should be fixed in its occurrences across the article, to be more consistent – Śhrī is an obvious over-transliteration nonsense. Also the note 1 has it wrong – compare with this or that. -- Mykhal ( talk) 12:59, 27 January 2017 (UTC)
I get it that 108 is supposed to be magical. But where does 1008 come from? An explanation would be nice. Also, provided "sri sri" equals "sri 2", I wonder whether " sri sri 1008 sri" equals "sri 1010" ;) -- Mykhal ( talk) 13:07, 27 January 2017 (UTC)
Ha ha. Indeed, modest they are not. Even one Shri/sir etc. is too many. 3 Shris is factor 3 too many , etc.
Zezen ( talk) 09:05, 28 October 2019 (UTC)
Am I understanding that section correctly? Like, for Shri 1008 Satyatma Tirtha, a person who comes to talk to him will stand there and say Shri 1008 times, then his name, and then say what they wanted to say?
Talking very quickly, you get about 4 "shri"s per second, so you'd be standing around in front of this guy for over four minutes before you'd even really begun your first sentence speaking to him.
And do you have to do the shri repetition every time you want to say something to him? Or is it like talking to the Queen of England? i.e. The formal greeting (Your Majesty) once to begin with, and then you can just address her simply as "m'am". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 114.75.7.207 ( talk) 16:29, 22 December 2020 (UTC)

Shree – Devanagari: श्री, IAST: Śrī, IPA: /ʃɹiː/ or /ɕɹiː/, pronounced 'shree'. I dont see why it was named "Sri", and whatever articles/content came after that just followed it by not using H. The new spelling should be considered from "Shri" and "Shree". Thank you. —usernamekiran

@ Getsnoopy: Object to speedy move The article indicates that the ISO 15919 variant is the current one. And there was a prior discussion of a different move in 2017 on the talk page, so I think this should also be discussed. -- 67.70.33.184 ( talk) 07:19, 30 October 2019 (UTC)
