| Survival Phrases lesson 54 |
| Avoid getting caught in the rain with Hindi weather vocabulary. |
| Whether or not the weather will cooperate is an important issue on which many plans are made and canceled. It can happen sometimes that you are planning a long trip and you want to be sure that your walks and your tours around Indian cities will be safe and dry. In this lesson, we'll cover a phrase that will help you finalize your plans if they depend on the weather. |
| In Hindi, "What will the weather be tomorrow?" is Kal mausam kaisa hoga? |
| Kal mausam kaisa hoga? |
| Let's break it down by syllable: Kal mausam kaisa hoga? |
| Now, let's hear it once again: Kal mausam kaisa hoga? |
| The first word kal means, "tomorrow." |
| kal, |
| and kal. |
| Next is mausam, which in English is "weather." |
| Let's hear it one more time: mausam. |
| mausam. |
| Next is kaisa, which in English is "how." |
| Let's hear this word one more time: kaisa. |
| kaisa. |
| Next, we have hoga, which in English is "will be." |
| hoga |
| hoga |
| All together, we have Kal mausam kaisa hoga? which means, "What will be the weather tomorrow?" |
| Let's go over the possible answers. In Hindi, "It will rain" is Baris hogi. |
| Let's break it down by syllable: Baris hogi. |
| Now, hear it one more time: Baris hogi. |
| Baris means "rain," and hogi means "will." So, we have Baris, which means "It will rain." |
| "It will snow" is Barf padegi. |
| Barf padegi |
| Let's break it down and hear it one more time: Barf padegi, |
| and Barf padegi. |
| The first word, Barf, means "snow." And Padegee means "it will fall." So, Barf padegi means "It will snow." |
| "It will be sunny," is Dhup hogi. |
| Let's break it down by syllable: Dhup hogi. |
| Now, let's hear it once again: Dhup hogi. |
| The first word, dhup, means "sunny." And it's a feminine noun, so we have hogi, which in English is "will be". |
| Let's hear it one more time: hogi. |
| hogi. |
| All together, we have Dhup hogi, and it means, "It will be sunny.” |
| "It will be windy," is vaaTmay hogaa. |
| vaaTmay hogaa. |
| Let's break it down by syllable: vaaTmay hogaa. |
| Now, let's hear it once again: vaaTmay hogaa. |
| The first word vaaTmay, means "windy." It is an adjective and masculine, so we use hogaa. We translate it as, "It will be windy." |
| In case you are somewhere where the weather can change very quickly, you can ask, "What will the weather be today?" - aaj mausam kaisaa hogaa? |
| Let's break it down by syllable: aaj mausam kaisaa hogaa? |
| Now, let's hear it once again: aaj mausam kaisaa hogaa? |
| As you can see here, we have the same pattern of the phrase we used previously. Mausam kaisa hoga, literally means "What will the weather be?" |
| Then we have aaj, or "today," in place of kal, or "tomorrow". |
| Let's break this word and hear it once again: aaj, and aaj. |
| All together, we have Aaj mausam kaisa hoga? This means, "What will the weather be today?" |
