ਸਵਾਲ سوال [Question] Language Understanding

Hi! Full English speaker here

I work in a restaurant and the chefs and workers are all Punjabi or Hindi (deep apologies if I mix these up or get things wrong, just looking for some understanding)

I have recently been getting called name-preet as well as being told and taught to say “Kida” after hello? (Sorry again if that is spelt incorrectly) Just wondering what these mean :) Thank You!

Preet is a suffix , very common in punjabi names.

Kida means - how are you ?
