What locals actually say

Could you wait a moment?

हजुर, एकछिन पर्खिदिनुहोस् न।

‘हजुर’ ले आदरपूर्वक ध्यान खिच्छ, र ‘–दिनुहोस् न’ ले अनुरोधलाई नरम बनाउँछ।

Have you eaten?

भात खानुभयो?

नेपालमा ‘भात’ ले प्रायः समग्र खाना जनाउँछ, र ‘–नुभयो’ ले आत्मीय तर सम्मानसूचक प्रश्न बनाउँछ।

Is this the bus to Thamel?

ठमेल जाने गाडी यही हो?

दैनिक नेपालीमा बसलाई ‘गाडी’ भन्नु सामान्य छ, र ‘यही हो?’ ले बाटोमा पुष्टि माग्ने स्वाभाविक ढाँचा दिन्छ।

How much does this cost?

यो कति पर्छ?

पर्छ is the everyday Nepali pricing construction used to ask what something costs.

Please call my older brother.

मेरो दाइलाई फोन गरिदिनुहोस्।

दाइ specifically means an older brother, while गरिदिनुहोस् adds a respectful, courteous request.

I’ll send the report by five.

म पाँच बजेसम्म रिपोर्ट पठाउँछु।

सम्म marks a time limit or deadline, meaning by or no later than five.

It’s getting cold, isn’t it?

जाडो बढ्दैछ, हैन?

बढ्दैछ expresses a change in progress, and हैन? is the common conversational tag seeking agreement.

I’m feeling a little tired today.

आज अलि थकाइ लागेको छ।

थकाइ लागेको छ is the natural Nepali construction for experiencing tiredness, rather than directly saying I am tired.
