Hindi is an Indo-European language, meaning that many words come from the same root as English!

If you’re learning Hindi or simply looking to expand your vocabulary, you’ve come to the right place. In this article, we’ll provide you with a comprehensive list of frequently used Hindi words and phrases, along with their pronunciation and meaning in Hindi.

Learning the correct pronunciation of Hindi words is crucial for effective communication. That’s why we’ve included audio for each word, so you can hear how it’s supposed to be pronounced. We understand that understanding the meaning of words is just as important, so we’ve also provided the Hindi meaning of each word.

Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced Hindi speaker, this article is designed to help you improve your language skills. So, let’s get started and explore the world of Hindi pronunciation and meaning!

As an official language of India (next to Tamil, Marathi, Punjabi, Telugu and many others), Hindi is native to northern India and Pakistan (where the Hindustani language or dialect is called Urdu and written with an Arabic script rather than Hindi Devanagari alphabet.)

Obviously, learning Hindi takes a long time. You need to learn not just the Hindi alphabet and pronunciation, but all the grammar rules such as the different verb tenses, how to make an adjective agree with a noun and proper sentence structure.

But to get you started with the Hindi language, here are some basic Hindi vocabulary, expressions, words and phrases that are useful when going to parts of India.

The Importance Of Hindi

Whether it is spirituality, food, art, architecture or industry that has led you to want to learn Hindi, Hindi is a great language to speak and the learning process doesn’t have to be difficult.

Hindi is the most widely spoken language in India and derives from Sanskrit, written in the Devanagari script. Because of their similarities, learning how to speak Hindi will help you to speak Sanskrit, Urdu, Nepalese, Bengali, and Gujarati.

One other thing to remark is that Hindi is written from left to right, so that’s a good start too, right? At least this is something that English speakers are familiar with! It’s also fairly easy to read Hindi as words are generally written as they are pronounced because each character of the Hindi alphabet has a different sound.

First things first… make sure you practice those greetings and basic Hindi phrases!

Hindi Formal Registers

When we speak English, we have several registers in which we talk:

• the formal (used with persons of authority or strangers)
• the informal or colloquial (for friends and family).

In Hindi, there are many more subtleties to the formal and informal registers. There can be several versions of formal speak, depending on the rank of the person you are talking to (whether in terms of caste or just your boss), and their relationship with you. There are also several informal registers, variations from friendly to intimate.

This is hard for Hindi translators to convey. Words might appear as synonyms and have the same English translation, but belong to different levels of formality. There are many approaches to learning including immersion. You can read Hindi newspapers and improve your Hindi language skill.

Hindi Greetings and Salutations

1. Hello in Indian

Knowing how to say hello in Hindi is the bare minimum. The Hindi word for “hello” is namaste — literally, “I bow to you” — which they will. Though some Indians will shake hands, most bring their palms together in front of their chest, fingers up, and bow slightly. You can also say namaskaar or, as a respectful greeting to superiors or elders, pranaam. You can say these Hindi words of greeting at any time of day.

If you are speaking Urdu (a language with a lot of Persian and Arabic words), you will say assalaam-aleikum, “may God be with you”, a phrase that the Muslim people of Pakistan took from Arabic.

“Hi” is suno or suniye.

2. Goodbye

Knowing how to say goodbye in Hindi is super easy. When leaving, you might say namaste again, or phir milenge (”see you”). A casual “bye” is “alvida, whereas a more formal “farewell” is vidai.

3. Good morning!

Suprabhaat is the Indian greeting for «good morning».

4. Good evening!

5. Welcome!

When welcoming someone you know very well, use aaiye and padhariye!

When welcoming a stranger, use swagat.

6. Nice to meet you

7. How are you in Hindi

Saying «how are you«:

• To a man or a group of people: Aap kaise hain?
• To a woman or a group comprised only of women: Aap kaisi hain?

There are also casual ways to ask «how are you?» in Hindi, including:

8. I am fine

9. Who are you in Hindi / What is your name

Aap-kaa naam kyaa hai. (formal)

10. My name is…

My name is…
Meraa naam (insert name here) hain.

It is interesting to note that this sentence is not modified according to gender — it’s the same phrase whether it is spoken to a man or a woman.

11. See you (tomorrow)

12. What’s new?

13. Nothing much

Being polite in Basic Hindi

14. Please

Kripaya, used at the beginning of a sentence.

15. Thank you in Hindi

It is important to know how to say thank you in Hindi, and to be polite when you are in India. When you look in your English-Hindi dictionary for the Hindi translation of “thank you”, you will find dhanyavaad. However, it is important to note that this word is not used lightly in the Indian language.

Thanks for everyday things such as handing someone their Hindi dictionary or holding open the door are implied. The word “dhanyavaad” is frequently used for very big favours and almost never with family or intimate friends — whom you can inadvertently insult if you thank them!

16. You’re welcome (as a reply to “thank you”)

In case someone else has thanked you (no headache there), here are some ways you can say “You’re welcome”:

17. Excuse me, sorry

How do you say excuse me or «sorry» in Hindi?

Like many other aspects of the Hindi tongue, there are several registers for the expression “excuse me”, depending on the formality. This is one thing where Hindi to English translation dictionaries and apps often fail:

18. The forms of “you”

Some languages have a formal “you” and an informal “you” (English has lost its informal “you”).

Hindi has formal, informal and intimate. Knowing how intimate is intimate enough is difficult, however, so it’s better to err on the side of caution and use the informal with friends and family.

Depending on who you are addressing, you should use:

19. Mister, Mrs.

While you can use Mistar and Misez for Mr. and Mrs, the Indian designations are Sri and Srimati.

When addressing someone, adding -jee after their name is a sign of respect:

Mataa (mother) = mataa-jee
Pitaa (father) = pitaa-jee
Mina (girl’s name) = Mina-jee

Getting around in Hindi: Buying and Getting Places

Hopefully, if you get the chance to learn Hindi with a holiday, you will also be doing some shopping — and hopefully more than just at the pharmacy! Here are some simple phrases you might need in shops (and to help you get there!) Rather than have to translate English to the Hindi language on an app on your phone, try to pick up the basics first.

20. How much is this?

Not everything is priced in the shops, so you need to know this important phrase:

21. I like this

When presented with several options in a shop (the red or the blue saree?) you should use these Hindi phrases:

22. I am hungry/thirsty

When on your shopping spree, if you ever feel peckish (or thirsty) and want to go get something to eat, say:

23. Right and left and middle

When searching for the perfect gift, you might need some Indian-language directions to get to the right place:

24. Means of transportation

And of course, you need to know how to get there! Here’s how to translate words for modes of transportation:

Other Useful Hindi Phrases for English Speakers

Of course, dictionaries are useful, and you shouldn’t visit India without a Hindi — English dictionary in your pack or loaded onto your phone.

But words are one thing, intelligible sentences are something else. It’s not enough to simply translate English to Hindi word for word — the sentences need to be grammatically correct, and adapted to the status of the person you are talking to… And while translation software is getting better and better, it’s still not the same as having a human Hindi translator — or learning to speak Hindi yourself.

Here are some ready-to-use Indic phrases to help you out when travelling on the Indian subcontinent.

25. I’m not feeling well.

This sentence is important if you are feeling ill and need to lie down or get to a doctor.

26. Can you help me?

If you are among strangers, you need to know how to ask for help without an English dictionary:

Kya aap meri madad kar sakte hain?

Or, in an urgent situation, just “help”:

27. Words for “doctor” and “police”

The translations from English to Hindi are easy in this case, as the words are taken from English:

28. Do you speak English?

While many language courses like to teach you “Do you speak Hindi?” as one of the first phrases in a new language, learning how to say “do you speak English” is much more useful for a beginner Hindi speaker.

Kya ap angrezi bolte/bolti (m/f) hai?

29. I don’t speak Hindi

You might sometimes be addressed by people who want to help or just sell you something. Either way, you should tell them this:

Mujhe hindi nahi ati hai . (I don’t speak Hindi.)

30. I don’t understand.

Being an intermediate student in a language can be frustrating. You know more than a few basic phrases, your vocabulary is fine for everyday situations, but you still often find yourself reaching for your Hindi dictionary to read signs; when talking to people, you will be using an English translator app for some phrases; when listening, use this sentence a lot:

Mai samjha/samjhi nahi.

31. Talk more slowly

Sometimes the problem is not so much that the person is using new words you don’t know, but that you can’t tell because they are talking so fast your brain can’t catch get it all translated to English by the time they’ve finished the sentence. You ask ask them so speak more slowly:

Dhire dhire boliye.

32. What does it mean? How do you say it?

Of course, everyone appreciates it when someone makes an effort in learning their language. Since many Hindi speak fair to good English, you can try asking these questions and you’l have a good chance of understanding the answer:

Professions In Hindi

Meanwhile, looking for a particular tradesman, craftsman, or service is quite common when travelling or when relocating, so here are just some of the most common professions and their Hindi words.

Taking Lessons For Hindi Beginners

Perhaps you have already mastered the above and have tried to learn even more Hindi words and phrases online, with the use of apps or even by listening to radio and podcasts. Alternatively, you may have found it easier to grasp some of the elements of this language by reading articles or even books which are written in Hindi.

Every learner works differently and gains knowledge at a different pace so, particularly if you’re in a hurry to learn a new language, then you may need to turn to Hindi lessons with a real-life instructor if you really want to become proficient in the language.

Tutors are available online and in person and are a great way to interact with second language lessons in a way that fits your lifestyle. We’ll learn more about finding tutors in a moment, but first, let’s take a look at how you could improve your language skills with the use of the basic Internet and phone apps.

Learning Hindi Online

If you just need to know how to say hello in India then a full course or teacher might not be needed. If you want to learn enough Hindu words to have full sentences, it is time for full lessons.

One Last Lesson From Us: Learning Hindi Numbers!

As well as learning Hindi and Indian greetings, and some simple Hindi phrases and words, numbers can be very useful, too. When confronted with Hindi vocabulary, one thing that seems to stump a lot of people are the Hindi numbers. Hindi uses a decimal system, and as long as you are counting from one to ten it’s literally a simple matter of memory and logic.

After that, they function along the principles of prefix (unit) + suffix (decimal). Thus, pentsadh is 65, chavti is 34.

However, here are a few things a beginner Hindi learner ought to know:

About English to Hindi Typing Tool (English to Hindi Converter)

TechWelkin English to Hindi Typing Tool is a simple facility that gives you a clean interface to easily type in Hindi on computer and do English to Hindi translation (conversion). This tool automatically converts the Roman text into Hindi Unicode font. For example, if you need to type «भारत» just type «bhaarat» in the above box. As soon as you will hit SPACE key, the English text will convert into Devanagari text.

If you want to learn typing we have published a list of best software to learn touch typing.

Unicode is a standard that defines all the letters in all the languages around the world. Text typed in Unicode can be read on all the computers without installing any extra piece of software. Therefore, it is always recommended that you type Hindi in Unicode. The TechWelkin Hindi typing tool gives you Unicoded text. So, you copy the Hindi text from above box and paste it anywhere in the computer; for example Gmail, Facebook, Twitter, MS-Word document etc.

This conversion of one script to another (i.e. Roman script to Devanagari) is called transliteration. However, some people mistakenly call it English to Hindi translation. Translation happens when vocabulary is changed. In this Hindi typing tool, only alphabets are changed to a different script.

Hindi is written using Devanagari script. This script is also shared by several other languages including Sanskrit, Marathi and Maithili. Hindi typing on computer picked up pace when Unicode standard was defined for Hindi. Earlier, Hindi was written on computers using legacy, non-Unicode fonts like Krutidev, Shusha, Shiva and Chanakya. Scores of such fonts were in use between the year 2000 and 2006.

The main trouble with these fonts was that the Hindi text typed on one computer was not readable on other computers if the font used was absent on the target computer. To get around this problem, people used to send the font file along with the typed Hindi material. The reader had to first install the font and only then the file used to become legible.

This problem aggravated when Internet became popular on India and people began to type Hindi online. Thousands of blogs and websites in Hindi language came up. Such websites had no option but to place a notice on their homepage with instructions on how to download the legacy font that was used on the website.

All these problems began to vanish when Unicode came by. It revolutionized the online Hindi typing. Google came up with Transliteration tool that allowed users to do English to Hindi translation (it is actually conversion, but many people still call it translation). In no time, several font converters were also developed to allow automatic conversion of Hindi text into Unicode. Microsoft bundled the Mangal font with its Windows operating system. Mangal is a Unicode font and it solved the problem of unavailability of a universal font. Now that Mangal was present on almost all the computers, online typing in Hindi and display of Devanagari script on websites became very easy.

Hindi is a major language in India. It is understood in most parts of the country but states like Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Madhya Pradesh constitute a so-called Hindi Belt. These are the states where Hindi is the lingua franca.

Now, use of Hindi on computer, Internet and mobile devices is fairly popular. Hindi speakers want to type status messages on WhatsApp, posts on Facebook and emails in Hindi. It is heartening to see that technological support has given a great boost to the online presence of Hindi language. Online content in Hindi is not yet in excellent shape but things are moving is a better direction. Companies have been showing their confidence in Hindi content. For example, recently Google changed its policy to officially allow the use of Google AdSense ads on Hindi websites. This could turn out to be a big moment for professional bloggers who do blogging in Hindi language.

If you feel surprised to see your friend sending you message written in Hindi, then it is time that you refresh your skills. It is extremely easy to type Hindi on computer. Give a try to the TechWelkin online tool for Hindi typing and you’ll see on your own that it is not so difficult. You don’t need to learn professional typing. The above tool uses phonetic layout. Type with the regular English keyboard and this tool will automatically convert English text into Hindi. It’s fun! Give it a try.

The above tool allows you to save file as a MS-Word document. It also gives you the option of easily correcting commonly made mistakes in typing (for example, people use pipe symbol ( | ) instead of poorna-viraam). If you’re using Internet Explorer, Save option may not work. In such a case, you can copy the typed text and save it manually in a file. However, we would advise you to begin using Google Chrome or Firefox web browsers (these are much better than Internet Explorer).

This online English to Hindi typing tool is mobile-friendly and you can use it on your tablet or mobile phone as well. However, you can also learn how to directly type Hindi on mobile phones.

We hope that this tool will be useful for you. Please share it with your friends as well.
