| Survival Phrases lesson 2 - How to Say You're Welcome in Hindi |
| In today's lesson, we'll continue to learn more phrases that will help you with basic etiquette. Indians are exceptionally hospitable, and even though their way to show politeness may differ from Western manners, there's a good chance you will hear स्वागत है| (svaagaT hai), "welcome," during your trip in India. So let's have a closer look at it! |
| In Hindi, "You're welcome" is also sometimes expressed as स्वागत है| (svaagaT hai). |
| Let’s break it down by syllable: स्वागत है| (svaagaT hai) |
| Now let's hear it once again: स्वागत है| (svaagaT hai) |
| The expression स्वागत है| (svaagaT hai) means "welcome." |
| Let's break down these words and hear them one more time: स्वागत है| (svaagaT hai) |
| स्वागत है| (svaagaT hai) |
| In Hindi, we can also add the formal possessive pronoun आपका (aapkaa) before स्वागत है| (svaagaT hai), and the meaning will be the same. आपका (aapkaa) is a formal or polite possessive pronoun we use for the singular, plural, masculine, or feminine person, and it literally means "your." |
| Let’s break it down by syllable: आपका (aapkaa) |
| Now let's hear the sentence once more: आपका स्वागत है| (aapkaa svaagaT hai) |
| आपका स्वागत है| (aapkaa svaagaT hai) |
| You can also respond to someone that has thanked you by using another expression. This is कोई बात नहीं| (koii baaT nahiin), which literally means "It's nothing." |
| कोई बात नहीं| (koii baaT nahiin) |
| Let’s break it down by syllable: कोई बात नहीं| (koii baaT nahiin) |
| Now let's hear it once again: कोई बात नहीं| (koii baaT nahiin) |
Outro |
| Okay, to close out today's lesson, we'd like for you to practice what you've just learned. I'll provide you with the English equivalent of the phrase and you're responsible for saying it aloud. You'll have a few seconds before I give you the answer, so गुड लक! (guud Lak!), which means "good luck" in Hindi. |
