## 🌏 Overview  
**Sathi** is a Nepali-inspired, human-friendly programming language that makes coding feel conversational and intuitive.  
Its syntax resembles natural speech, making it perfect for beginners, hobbyists, and anyone who wants a more expressive way to write code.

Built and maintained by **NirajanG**, Sathi blends creativity, simplicity, and cultural connection into a clean and fun programming experience.

## 💻 Example Code

```sathi
sathi yo ho naam = "NirajanG"
sathi bhanna "Namaste, " + naam + "!"
sathi yo ho x = 5
sathi yo ho y = 10
sathi bhanna "Sum: " + str(x + y)

sathi suru yedi x < y bhane
    sathi bhanna "x is smaller than y."
sathi natra
    sathi bhanna "x is greater than or equal to y."
sathi banda
```

✅ **Output:**
```
Namaste, NirajanG!
Sum: 15
x is smaller than y.
```

| `yedi` | if-else block template |
| `doherau` | repeat loop template |

---

## 📘 Full Syntax Reference (v1.0)

### 🔹 1. Variable Declaration
```sathi
sathi yo ho naam = "Sathi"
sathi yo ho x = 10
```
Declares variables, similar to `let` in JavaScript or `var` in other languages.

---

### 🔹 2. Print Statement
```sathi
sathi bhanna "Hello, World!"
sathi bhanna "Sum: " + str(x + y)
```
Prints output to the console. The `bhanna` keyword means “say” or “print.”

---

### 🔹 3. Conditional Blocks
```sathi
sathi suru yedi x > y bhane
    sathi bhanna "x is greater."
sathi natra
    sathi bhanna "x is smaller or equal."
sathi banda
```
- `yedi` → if  
- `bhane` → then  
- `natra` → else  
- `banda` → end block

---

### 🔹 4. Loops
Repeat actions with `doherau`:

```sathi
sathi doherau 3 choti
    sathi bhanna "Repeating..."
sathi banda
```
or conditionally:
```sathi
sathi doherau jaba x < 5
    sathi bhanna "x = " + str(x)
    x = x + 1
sathi banda
```

---

### 🔹 5. Functions
```sathi
sathi samjhau add(a, b)
    sathi firta gara a + b
sathi banda

sathi bhanna add(5, 10)
```
- `samjhau` → define function  
- `firta gara` → return value

---

### 🔹 6. Input (User Prompt)
```sathi
sathi leu naam "What is your name? "
sathi bhanna "Hello, " + naam
```
- `leu` → take input

---

### 🔹 7. Importing Files
```sathi
sathi laga "math.sathi"
```
- `laga` → import another `.sathi` file

---

### 🔹 8. Comments
```sathi
# This is a comment line
```
Lines beginning with `#` are ignored by the interpreter.

---

### 🔹 9. Data Types
| Type | Example | Description |
|------|----------|--------------|
| Number | `5`, `3.14` | Integer or Float |
| String | `"Hello"` | Text |
| Boolean | `sahi`, `galat` | true / false |
| List | `[1, 2, 3]` | Collection of values |

---

### 🔹 10. Operators

| `+` | Addition / Concatenate | `x + y`, `"a" + "b"` |
| `-` | Subtraction | `x - y` |
