Hi, my Indian yaar.. .Need your help to translate bellow sentences into Hindi:

Hello ->
You are welcome ->
Thank you ->
I'm sorry ->
You are quite right ->
I don't agree with you ->
Boys and girls ->
That's beautiful ->
Wish you good luck ->
I get it ->
I can't understand you ->

Any help on these or other everyday english translation are appreciated!

aww xiao. i feel ur frustration that no one is helping you translate these words into hindi... i would if i could but im not indian.

i wonder if english is a good compliment to the hindi language,

because from what i have studied english is not a good compliment to the tagalog language because it conflicts with syntax and other grammatical structure.

how about the -ji at the end of certain words such as papaji or madamji, what does that mean? and yaar? what does that mean?

If you need me to translate then i can help you!!! But why do you want to translate that for???




RockHeart,

I know the khasi's words for that since im from that tribe.
Atleast i know how to say when you eat real hot curry .. just scream "PANI!!! PANI!! " That means water ..

Kittna Baché ? How much is the time ..
Then i donät know more :P

i'm indian but i dont speak hindi, if someone said all these things to me in hindi i'd understand them but i'm not sure on how to say them myself, i know the translations to some of these phrases but i'm not 100% sure on them..

Hello -> Namaskar/Namaste
You are welcome ->Aapka swagat hai
Thank you ->Shukriya
I'm sorry (Forgive Me) ->Mujje Maaf Kardo or Mujko Maaf Kardo
Boys and girls ->Larkhe aur Larkia

Hi,

Just to let you all know...there are 14 official languages in India and many more unofficial so depending on who you speak with this may or may not apply as each region has its own language. Hindi is most commong in Northern India and you can probably speak it and make yourself understood by most North Indians. By the way the word ji is a symbol of respect much like saying ma'am or sir in english. Here is what I can help you with:

Hello -> Namaste/Namaskar (pretty much used by every region in India)
Thank you -> Thundeevad (there is pronunciation, however, the phrase thank you is not used often and only among strangers. Close friends and relations do not use this).
That's beautiful -> Bohaat Sundar literally means "very beautfiul"
I get it -> aachaa or teekay (literally means OK)
I can't understand you -> Mein somush tee hain
yes Huh ji
no nahee ji
never mind, do not trouble yourself koy baat nahee
little, very small chotee chotee
big burda
I am finished, no more bus (applies to food, drink, and ending an argument)

Need anything else just ask, I might can help.

Melanie in particular has done very good in translating those few sentences given by xiaowind. Allow me to give my version of the same:

Hello -> 'Namaskaar' , 'Namaste' is almost always preceeded by the name (or relation) of the person being addressed.

You are welcome -> Aapkaa Swaagat hai more suitable if you are responding to a thankyou. if you are formally welcoming someone you may like to use "Su-Swagatam" (Of Sanskrit origin).

Thankyou -> "Dhanya-waad" or "Shuk-riya". The "-" indicates a small pause when speaking but remember they are both single words.

You are quite right -> "Aap sahee hain".

I don't agree with you -> "Main aapse sehmat nahi hoon"

Boys and girls -> Oh, this is a little awkward to use in hindi. Anyway, Boy is "Ladkaa", Boys is "Ladkain"; Girl is "Ladki", Girls is "Ladkiyaan". And if you want to say "Ladies and Gentlemen" in hindi, you would say "Deviyoon aur Saj-janoo"

That's beautiful -> Usually you'd just say Beautiful "Sundar". That is "Woh" or "Wah"; This is "Yeh". Add "Hain" at the end of your sentences to indicate existance and present tense. Example "That is beautiful" -> "Wah sundar hain"

Wish you good luck -> Same as "Meri shub-kaamnaayen aapke saath hain" (My best wishes are with you)

I get it -> If by get you mean understood, "Main Samajh gaya". If you haven't figured it out yet, "Main" is I. Don't pronounce it as the english main but something like Mein or mai ( the sound of 'n' is optional).

I can't understand you -> "Main aapko samajh nahi paa raha hoon".

And as Melanie said "Ji" or "Jee" is attached as a suffix to show respect towards a person.

Feel free to ask me if there's anything more you want to know...

I would just clear a few more things:

Yes "Paani" is "water".

"Kitne baje hain" is "What time is it now?"

"Bacche" is children so if you say "Kitne Bache hain?" someone might get confused and think you are asking "How many kids do you have?"

"Papaji" is "Father"

"Madamji" is plain 'Madam' with a ji attached respectfully.

"Mummyji" is "Mother"

"Yaar" is friend (Somewhat slangish). Use "Do'st" for formal elegant use. "Mitr" (or "Saheli" for a female friend) would be a perfectionist' heaven.

Hi Cyanor,

Thanks for the extra phrases and different versions of it. I did not realize that I forgot on one sentence to put "nahi" or "nahee". Please find my correction below as that one word can make the difference between saying I understand or I do not understand!

So for the phrase I do not understand use this phrase "Mein nahee somash tee hain"

^

A man who makes no mistake cannot be any more wrong.

Shall I call it 'Cyanorism'.

Be careful with that one. "Saheli" can often be interepreted as "girlfriend", so its usually best to just go with "dost" or just say "Friend".

Namaskaar

Main Hindi samjha nahi hain, ek, do sentences aachaa hain (thats it,...... i am just tryin to create a sentence by myself )
Great guys, thanks a lot for these Hindi sentences. I found that hindi or punjabi language are so nice to hear. Especially when talking between friends or cheering someone (in those movies) the language is so soft and convincing. When it comes to the bollywood music video...., ladkain aur ladkiyaan wah balle balle.

Hi Cyanor, Melanie and guys above me, if u have free time to update this thread with new hindi sentences, i would be thankful yaar. And i believe so many people would like to learn.

Shukriya

Hello -> namaste if ur hindu. asalaam alaikum if ur muslim.
You are welcome -> dont know.
Thank you -> shukriya for most unless ur marathi or deeply hindu then its dhanyavad.
I'm sorry -> maaf ki jai? im not sure but i think its maaf ki jai or maaf karna.
You are quite right -> i dont know
I don't agree with you -> i dont know but dont is 'nahin' in hindi.
Boys and girls -> larkhas aur larkhiyans.
That's beautiful -> khoobsurat hai or sundar hai.
Wish you good luck -> i think its mubarak ho but i could be wrong.
I get it -> dont know
I can't understand you -> i dont know.

okay thats it.

oh wait i do what 'what is ur name?" in hindi.

Kumasta Kayo.

Here's a very helpful Hindi phrasebook for ya.


http://wikitravel.org/en/Hindi_phrasebook

tagalog: okay lang. ikaw? - hindi: mein tikh hoon. aur ap? -

i was meaning to say, im fine. and u? in hindi.

hope i chose the right hindi words.

Yup you got it correct.

And now....I'll respond in Tagalog....."Mabuti po naman"


I'm just a poser....I only know a few phrases in Tagalog that I learned from my neighbors......
