Workplace Hindi for Moving to North India
Practise spoken Hindi for colleagues, instructions, delays and everyday situations after relocating to North India.
What Hindi should I learn before moving to North India for work?
Start with introductions, checking instructions and deadlines, and explaining delays. Add situations from your commute, such as giving a landmark or confirming where to get off. Ask your new team which conversations usually happen in Hindi and which happen in English.
The lesson examples use English explanations and spoken Hindi practice, with Roman Hindi alongside Devanagari. If Tamil, Telugu or Malayalam is your home language, bring a request you already use at work. Practise giving the same message in Hindi with a clear time and a polite verb, such as दो बजे तक भेज दीजिए (do baje tak bhej dijiye).
Dialogue · Confirming a task and deadline
| Hindi | Roman Hindi | English |
|---|---|---|
| पहले कौन-सा काम करना है? | Pehle kaun-sa kaam karna hai? | Which task should I do first? |
| पहले सूची देखिए, फिर फ़ाइल भेजिए। | Pehle soochi dekhiye, phir file bhejiye. | Check the list first, then send the file. |
| ठीक है। क्या फ़ाइल दो बजे तक भेजनी है? | Theek hai. Kya file do baje tak bhejni hai? | All right. Does the file need to be sent by two? |
| जी हाँ। अगर देर हो, तो मुझे बता दीजिए। | Ji haan. Agar der ho, to mujhe bata dijiye. | Yes. Please let me know if it will be late. |
Practise reporting a delay
Your file will take longer than expected. Tell a colleague why, give a new time and ask whether the new time works.
Show a model update
फ़ाइल में दो आँकड़े जाँचने हैं। मैं उसे तीन बजे तक भेज दूँगी। क्या तीन बजे तक भेजना ठीक रहेगा?
File mein do aankde jaanchne hain. Main use teen baje tak bhej doongi. Kya teen baje tak bhejna theek rahega?
I need to check two figures in the file. I’ll send it by three. Would that be all right? Use भेज दूँगा (bhej doonga) for a male speaker.
Repeat with your own task and deadline. In a one-to-one enquiry, mention your job role, relocation city and two situations you want to rehearse.
