This is a welcome sound by Thai ladies. Thais inherited Indian culture and languages- Sanskrit and Pali. They get the Namaskar style of India in guesture and sound it as Sawad dee ka. Male's sound it as Sawad dee krab. Which solely means Welcome/ Hello.
In reply its best to answer Sawad dee krab if youa re male otherwise sawad dee ka.

I speak Thai fluently and this sounds ridiculous to me. It's definitely Thai, but because there's no official romanization set for writing it in English letters, and because the Thai language has more different sounds than English, there are so many variations like these of people trying to write it and make it work with the roman alphabet that it's very hard to understand the correct pronunciation they're trying to achieve, let alone the tones. Is your friend Thai? If he is, why couldn't he type it in Thai script? And if he's a guy, why is he using the feminine way of speaking (unless he's gay?) I'll try and break it down. Sa wad dee ka = "Hello" as spoken by a girl Hiru ja pie gurd ka ha nina = I can't figure this sentence out, it doesn't make sense to me, I would need to see the script or hear it being said to better understand. The first part is "Hiru will go" but then "gurd"..."gurd" means to be born or to happen. "Ka" means a lot of things, but none of them make sense after "gurd" unless it's the polite female particle, which doesn't make sense for him to use if he's male. And "ha" doesn't really make much sense in this context either. My best guess would be "Hiru will go bring about a search for Nina," which sounds about as fluent in English as it does in the Thai guess I'm trying to stretch it from. Hiru lak nina mak naa = "Hiru loves Nina a lottt" Sa was dee ka = "Hello/Good-bye" as spoken by a girl Sorry, that's the best I could get out of it, and it's my job to translate Thai...

Sawad dee is used for "hello".
A lady is supposed to use "ka" to end a sentence to be polite. It can also be used to replace "yes" by a lady.
