| Survival Phrases lesson 56 |
| Finding out when places open in India. |
| In this lesson, we'll introduce you to a phrase that you'll need on several occasions! While in India, there will be lots of food to try, many things to buy, and places to see. We all know you want to see the sights, and this phrase is essential to planning your days. |
| In Hindi, "What time does it open?" is kab KHulTaa hai? |
| kab KHulTaa hai? |
| Let's break it down by syllable and hear it once again: kab KhulTaa hai? |
| kab KHulTaa hai? |
| The first word, kab, means "when." |
| Let's hear it once again: kab. |
| And then, we have KHulTaa, which in English is "open." |
| Let's break it down by syllable: KhulTaa. |
| KhulTaa. |
| The next word is hai, which is "is" in English. |
| So, all together, we have kab KHulTaa hai? which means, "When does it open?" |
| It's also very important to know when places close. The worst thing to encounter is a closed sign hanging in front of a place you wanted to see. |
| In Hindi, "What time does it close?" is kab banD hoTaa hai? |
| kab banD hoTaa hai? |
| Let's break it down by syllable: kab banD hoTaa hai? |
| Now, let's hear it once again: kab banD hoTaa hai? |
| As you can see, you have the same structure as the previous phrase. kab translates to "what time." And then, you have banD, or "close" in place of khulTaa or "open". |
| Let's break down this word and hear it once again: banD, |
| and banD. |
| All together, we have kab banD hoTaa hai? Which means, "At what hour does it close?" We can use the same pattern in many other situations. |
| In a hotel, you want to ask in Hindi, "What time is the breakfast served?" it is kab naSHTaa parosaa jaaTa hai? |
| kab naSHTaa parosaa jaaTa hai? |
| "What time does the show start?" is kab praDarSHan SHuru hoTa hai? |
| kab praDarSHan Shuru hoTa hai? |
| "What time does the train leave?" - tren kab CHHutaTii hai? |
| tren kab CHHutaTii hai? |
| "What time do we arrive?" - ham kab pahunCHenge? |
| ham kab pahunCHenge? |
