aurath women?

[chrome rover]

precisely

[chrome rover]

aadhmi is a man

[muted shadow]

oh good

[chrome rover]

but yes

do not address any woman as aurat, call them mahila

aurat seems a bit rude

[muted shadow]

then how do u call a unknown women in street?

[chrome rover]

aap ek sundar mahila ho(youre a beautiful girl)

[chrome rover]

if a girl(ladki), if a woman(mahila)

[chrome rover]

aunty you call aunty itself

[chrome rover]

thats how you pronounce it

[muted shadow]

i have heard of dheedhi

[chrome rover]

didi means sister

[muted shadow]

whats that

then what is behen ?

[chrome rover]

you can address any woman at your age/older to you as didi

[chrome rover]

behen is the official word for sister in hindi

[chrome rover]

this seems respectful

[muted shadow]

dheedhi is respectful ok

[chrome rover]

and the oldies usually like being called didi(it makes them feel young) v handy trick

[muted shadow]

🤣

[chrome rover]

lol

[muted shadow]

ok

[chrome rover]

lets say, if you were to approach a random woman older to you in public

[muted shadow]

ok

[chrome rover]

lets assume she has occupied your seat and you want her to leave

you approach by saying

didi, ye meri seat hai, kya aap apni seat me baithenge?

[muted shadow]

sister , this is my seat

[chrome rover]

translates to, sister/aunty/woman, this is my seat, would you like to sit in your seat?

[chrome rover]

yes

[muted shadow]

that kya changes sentence to sentence

i think im confused with the tense now

byto baithenge

[chrome rover]

kya means what in most questions but it can also translate to “will you?” and depends on how you frame your wuestion

[chrome rover]

byto usually means youre asking another person to sit

baithenge means, youll sit at some point in the future

[muted shadow]

oh good

aap and apni is like to?

or ?

[chrome rover]

apni means mine

aap means you

[muted shadow]

little bit confusing lol

[chrome rover]

lemme use them in a statement

maine apni gaadi me petrol nahi bhara

i haven’t filled petrol in my bike

gaadi usually means vehicle

[muted shadow]

bhara means filling?

[chrome rover]

hu works well when you want to end the sentences

one moment

[muted shadow]

main ek katori se maggi kha raha hoon

idk why i used se lol

[chrome rover]

main ek katori mei maggi kha raha hu would be the correct translation

but very good! splendid effort

next sentence

[muted shadow]

but why there u were using main again

[chrome rover]

main and mei are different

mei at times can also be used to say “inside of”

[muted shadow]

[cursive wind]

ahh what i this idk

[chrome rover]

Indian Standard Time

[pastel glacier]

Bro best resource to learn Hindi is through Hindi cinema

Animated movies especially

[chrome rover]

Bro, I really tried to get you latest newspaper. But I have all the old ones

I mean I can find you the old ines

[pastel glacier]

Hindi one you need??

Dainik Jagaran is available online on their website

Search for Dainik Jagran e paper

[spice cairn]

ya

i need to just read

my reading speed is slow

[pastel glacier]

Better read novels and stuff

[chrome rover]

Yes! This is the best way to learn hindi ngl.

[pastel glacier]

Ikr

Can I learn Kannada the same way tho??

[chrome rover]

Premchand might be childish/oldie written but he’s a good hindi author.

[pastel glacier]

True but his Hindi contains a lot of Braj Words which newbies may find confusing tho

Infact most Hindi authors use complex hindi

Children books are better if one is just getting started

[chrome rover]

See it depends, people talk hindi almost at every nook and corner. But if you are in a kannada surrounded area and you understand a few words, then you can definitely learn Kannada the same way. Read Kannada Newspaper or kannada texts frequently, try conversing in kannada with your close ones.

[chrome rover]

yeah thats one thing tho

[chrome rover]

that would do aswell

[pastel glacier]

I mean, I have no experience whatsoever in kannada, where do I even start

Sorry if it's off topic

[chrome rover]

ngl you’re way better at this than me

[chrome rover]

its all cool mate, try learning the basic alphabets and their variants(ballies in kanada, look it up on google after you have an idea of what the alphabets are)

for starters

then try learning most used words(ill provide that if i get it)

then try using them to make a sentence

[pastel glacier]

Thanks man. I'll try to

Actually I'm moving here in a month for my BTech

[chrome rover]

honestly youre way better at this stuff than i am bro lmao

[chrome rover]

Oh

[pastel glacier]

So I thought I should try to learn atleast the bare minimum level requirement

[chrome rover]

You’ll blend in dw

[pastel glacier]

Nah man

[pastel glacier]

It's all good but the subreddit posts do concern me

[chrome rover]

yes you are

[chrome rover]

which institute?

[pastel glacier]
