What locals actually say

What's the price?

कितने का है?

“Kitne ka hai” is the everyday market question. The textbook “iska mulya kya hai” would earn a smile at any stall; nobody says it.

Come tomorrow.

कल आना।

“Kal” means both yesterday and tomorrow; the verb carries the direction. Translations that fight this sound foreign.

Please sit.

बैठिए।

The “-iye” imperative is built-in politeness. “Baitho” is for friends, “baithiye” for guests, and choosing wrong changes the room.

Where is the nearest metro station?

सबसे पास वाला मेट्रो स्टेशन कहाँ है?

सबसे पास वाला is a colloquial Hindi construction for “the nearest one,” signaling everyday speech rather than the formal निकटतम.

Could we get two cups of tea?

दो चाय दे दीजिए।

दे दीजिए is a polite Hindi request construction, signaling respectful language when ordering.

My sister is coming over tonight.

मेरी बहन आज रात मेरे घर आ रही है।

आ रही है uses feminine agreement with बहन and the progressive construction, signaling an expected or ongoing arrival.

I’m running late for work.

मुझे ऑफिस पहुँचने में देर हो रही है।

ऑफिस is the everyday English loanword for “workplace,” while देर हो रही है is the natural Hindi construction for “being late.”

It’s really hot today.

आज बहुत गर्मी है।

गर्मी है uses the Hindi noun for “heat” with है, the everyday way to describe hot weather rather than a literal adjective translation.

Notes like these come with every AIRTranslate translation, so you learn why locals phrase it that way as you go.

How Hindi differs

Hindi (India). आप respectful default, तुम peer-casual; everyday Hinglish loanwords are natural in casual register (टाइम, फोन, ऑफिस); avoid stiff shuddh-Hindi purisms where locals use common Urdu/English-origin words.
