TheTravelForum-Sam Posted November 18 Share Posted November 18 Planning a trip to India? India has 22 official languages and no national language! English works across the country. Hindi is common up north, while different languages are used in the south. Knowing a bit of Hindi helps as it is the most spoken language in the country. Learning a few Hindi phrases can amplify your experience! Here are some essential words: 1. Greetings: Hello: Namaste Goodbye: Alvida (Goodbye or bye works fine) 2. Asking Questions: Where?: Kahan? How?: Kaise? How much?: Kitne ka hai? 3. Numbers: One: Ek Two: Do Three: Teen Four: Char Five: Paanch Six: Chhe Seven: Saat Eight: Aath Nine: Nau Ten: Das 4. Money: Indian Currency: Rupee/Rupaye (रुपये) 5. Ordering Food: Water: Paani How much does it cost?: Kitne ka hai? Delicious: Swadisht Spicy: Teekha Sweet: Meetha Less Spicy: Kam Teekha More Sweet: Zyada Meetha Pro tip: Indians don't refer to it as Tuk Tuk; they call it Rickshaw or Auto. The word for "Thank you" is "Dhanyavad," but everyone understands "thanks" or "thank you." Do you know more words that can help travelers? Feel free to drop them in the comments below.
