Learn Speaking Hindi Lesson 2

[IrisMG]

I like these! You don't make us absorb too much at one time! Thank you! And I find I have to ignore the comments because they either confuse me with stuff that hasn't been covered, or is things I don't care about anyway.

[nicolevidz1]

my friend is indian but she's blond!

[PetiteLicorne]

@nicolevidz1 No wonder. And Aishwarya Rai? There are a lot of people, especially in North India, Afghanistan (Pashtun ethnies), with light hair or/and eyes (especially green). Don't forget European come from India.

[MrRockybalboafan1]

ur doing great job brother keep it up. teaching ppl hindi is good 4 thm and for us indians

[angelsspirit154]

You should translate the individual parts of the sentence so people can learn single words to use in a different context

[itwasnoteasy]

@angelsspirit154

That's how the videos are they highlight individual words when being pronounced

[angelsspirit154]

@itwasnoteasy I mean like you could also highlight the English words :)

[ukgreaterlondon]

@itwasnoteasy

this is my second view of your great videos : )

the sentences are just sinking into me , previously the sentences was a distant fog in me .

[MultiArnav123]

@itwasnoteasy im confused its hindi oordo sunskrit?Its hard learning hindi words uv neva lerned

[PetiteLicorne]

@MultiArnav123 Urdu and Hindi are almost the same language, only some expressions are different, but the biggest difference is the way you write these language. Hindi is written with the original system, devanagari, written from left to right, as Western languages, because of the islamisation urdu (spoken in India, Pakistan, Afghanistan) is written as arabic but with some special letter you can't find in Arabic. Both, urdu and hindi come from Sanscrit (logic, urdu is from hindi)

[PetiteLicorne]

@MultiArnav123 , European languages too come from Sanscrit. It is a very very ancient sacred language. The reason why so many word in hindi, farsi, etc, have words liking western languages. I hope I didn't any mistakes.

[sleepingbeautyblair]

thx so much

[ilovegracieboo]

is indian and hindi the same language type or not?

[pascoesvale]

@ilovegracieboo

I don't think that Indian is a language, its just only describe a resident of India.

Hindi is one of the mostly used(spoke and understood) languages spoken in India.[amongst others such as Urdu, Tamil, Telugu...etc]

[ilovegracieboo]

@pascoesvale oh well , then i wonder how they spoke to each other back then ! ya know? lol ! it seems soooo difficult too!:)

[memo2memo500]

you did me a solid man , i really needed some expressions .. thnx a bunch

[watsash]

Please remove the background music. Distracting

[northlite187]

my friend ishika is hindi lol

[pinkiponggirl]

my father is from india but i cant speakindian but my father speaks punjab not hindi whats the language of whole india?

[kajollally]

hey! your videos are a big help,

I know this may be a little irrelevant, but i'm learning hindi so i can progress in urdu, if that make sense? i grew up watching bollywood films and I can speak a little punajbi. lol, the point is, I want to take a gcse at 16 in either punjabi or urdu, but I will need to be able to read and write the language. I can't write in any eastern language. so, how difficult would it be and would I be able to do it within two years?

big question lol, thank you :)

[DrSAM69]

I'm trying to learn Hindi or at least i started by learning Sanskrit which i found was different from Devanagari both in some minor pronunciation and also for the fact that its missing the 'remove vowel' mark (्) which turns any vowel in its simple form at the end of a word in a vowel-less consonant (ex: प pa becomes p and to keep the vowel you add another a which in Sanskrit should prolong the vowel like पा paa)

[itwasnoteasy]

@DrSAM69

Sorry, I didn't get the question. Are you asking why there's is no (्) (Halant mark) on any letter (akshar) in the lesson?

[uozu937]

somebody slurping drink with a straw友だち?気になったりして。

[bernadettewms]

I love your Hindi language lessons. The music in the background is so soothing. You are very interesting to listen to and I enjoy learning to speak Hindi. I truly love the Indian culture and want to learn how to communicate in Hindi and to show my respect for your culture.

[AStorm42]

Thank you !

[Maratrushka]

is hindi same as urdu?

[itwasnoteasy]

No Sir, urdu and hindi are different.

Especially script wise they are entirely different. When comes to speaking you may find lot of resemblance in them.

[Maratrushka]

so can you explain please where they speak hindi, where speak urdu, I mean if I want to visit India or Pakistan, what should I learn?....and thank you for taking the time...( :

[VegetarianDatabase]

about 40% of india can speak hindi, and pakistan speaks urdu. urdu and hindi on a daily spoken level are almost the same (the two can have a conversation) but on an official level both draw on vocab from persian side(urdu) and sanskrit side (hindi).

for example - thank you in hindi - shukriya and dhanyavaad. dhanyavaad is more sansrkitic and wouldnt be used by urdu speakers. yet on a daily level hindi speakers will rarely use dhanyavaad.

[rishik17]

they speak hindi in india and urdu in pakistan. the hindi script is based on sanscript. the urdu script is based on persian.

[PetiteLicorne]

@Maratrushka @itwasnoteasy Almost the same language. Script has been islamised, but I can swear there's no problem for native speaker in urdu who never learn hindi to speak and understand hindi, that's natural, only some differences in some expressions, and the same thing for hindi speaker, I guess, except script, there's less difference between urdu and hindi than between Bresilian portuguese and continental portuguese or French and Canadian French.

[jazzhuman]

Your spelling of 'bas badhiya' is misleading. The actual third syllable is a retroflex RH (meaning you turn your tongue backwards on the palate and slide it forward as you say RH). In phonetic dictionaries the word is anglicised as 'baRHiya'.

[drpanga]

Just because Indian films used Urdu language for marketing purposes, it does not mean you label Urdu as Hindi, you are using hindi script with Urdu.

Nice Urdu teaching video, keep it up but do not label it Hindi please.

[amantha03]

drpanga,

If Indian films were in real Hindi, no Pakistani would be able to understand them.

[dayane972]

Got 2 questions:

-Is there a diference between "hai" and "ho"?

-Is that two sentence: Ab kaise hai? Me tiku, are the same as Aur kya chal reha hai? Bas Badhyia?

Thank you for you answers, very helpfull

[itwasnoteasy]

1. Yes, there is a difference between hai and ho.

You can say Aur kya chal reha hai but you can't say Aur kya chal reha ho - Wrong.

Aap kaise hain (Question) - How are you?

Main thiek hun (Reply) - I am fine.

So these are two statements.

Note: you may say - Aap Kaise ho? - Alright not wrong. But that doesn't mean you 'Hai and Ho' can be used interchangeably. As we'll learn more we'll get to know how 'Hai and Ho' are used in daily basis

[dayane972]

Thank you very much for your answer, you are a great teacher!

[nutty85]

namaste! ab keise ho? bas badhiya! jaja

[HarryUpHarry]

I was wondering: been mates with my store man for an age - don't hate: I love him. Thank you,

[tamirelli]

ahhh your accent is too cute! thanks for these videos by the way, I am learning, these help.

[itwasnoteasy]

hmm. yes you can.., which would mean "Nothing special.."

[hymen2]

CAN I SAY "KUCH KHAAS NAHI HEI"

[copnite12342]

very well bhai sahib.

[NoraRitter333]

HINDI GUYS ARE SEXY like the m. night shyamala guy or Kall Penn

UGH

ever since i saw the namesake with TABU i was like DIEEEM

[GirishJ]

nice video

ignore the loser saying you can't pronounce 'kh'... what is he offering? nothing!

[aadamhashmi]

um... you can't even pronounce khaas properly. I guess that's the hindi way of saying it. In urdu you'd pronunce the "kh" bit properly.

[itwasnoteasy]

thanks for pointing out and observing the pronunciation so keenly. I'll try to improve on it :)

[amantha03]

No one pronounces the "kh" with the throat sound in India. Your pronounciation is fine.

[dxggfggfs]

the kh in urdu is very fine and sharp

[CheerGirlSophia]

thank you sooo much for this! im not indian my step dad is punjabi though, i learned all my foreign language from him & watching movies! :P

[Arimaliz]

i like this!!

i can read hindi pronunciation bt i cnt write it :(

[ex2weapon]

This lesson series is brilliant!! I am Mexican, but all my friends are Indian, but non of them speak Hindi!! One speaks Gujrati and the other speaks the Sekh language (forgot the name). The one who should be able to speak Hindi only understands it and speaks it brokenly.

[Ivanino2]

thanks ..im from honduras..and im learning with u!

[leslyfan]

Thank you, itwasnoteasy, for the upload!!

I'm learning Hindi from a friend, plus your videos, and I'll have it!!

Thanks for all your patience in doing this, and for sharing.

:)

[imfriendly2all]

nice effort.. keep it up.... u hav lot of patience.. gr8 work really worth appreciating

[ejsslt]

thank you - this helps a lot.

[julnar2021]

thanks u very much ...i'm from morocco n i want to learn hindi..

actually i hav one suggestion...can u post more videos where u explain the gramatical form of the verbs u r using...for example, when u say karte...what is the infinitive form of the verb karte?..stuff like that..

otherwise, i really appreciate ur work..n thank u very much for this..

it really helped:)

[amantha03]

@julnar2021

The infinitive form of "karte" is karna. In Hindi, the verbs usually end with the "na" suffix. For example if i wanted to say "you eat" it would be "tum khate ho" and the infinitive of the verb would be "khana."

[julnar2021]

thanks:)

[gforceram]

Hey I really like your videos. Great job its really helping me out.

[dcat13]

I like it very much....congrats!!!

[cruizer83]

Khaas is NOT a Hindi word, my friend. It's an Arabic word, taken into Persian, taken into Hindi...

And yes, your pronunciation of Khaas is wrong!

It's KHHaas as in khabar and kharaab. You're pronouncing it like khana and khel.

No offense! But if you are teaching, teach properly!

Best wishes..

[adityaworld]

धन्यवाद(Dhanyavaad)

[bennymcfarlane]

thank you itwasnoteasy. This is so much fun! I want to know how to say "I'm learning - slowly" and "I don't know much" because whenever you start learning fragments of languages, you inevitably get tested when people start to converse with you.

[itwasnoteasy]

I like that comment very much.

so this is what you'd say for I dont know much- "Mujhe zyada nahin aata" you can look for the pronunciations in lessons. and I'm learning slowly will be - "main dheere dheere seekh reha hun" :-). I will put this together in next lesson for sure.

[bennymcfarlane]

thanks again!

[sifa121deb]

Alloh hafiz

sifa

[shoronie]

pretty neat video, good job!

one question though: with "badhiya", the 'dh' part sounds like a mix of 'r' and 'd'..however, no matter how many times I say the word, I can't get the pronunciation to sound like yours *aaarghhh*...so would it be wrong if I pronounced it like "barriya" instead??

[mimicion]

hey itwasnoteasy,

that patrik1278 was me!!!!LOL

he left his site opened and i used it by mistake!! haha.

[patrick1278]

[adnanmodak]

[Janaricious]

Haha, but quite difficult for me, even thoguh i am indian

[itwasnoteasy]

Can you give me your suggestions so that it should be easier for you. may be i am doing something wrong and can improve it. It's hard to understand from the non speaking person's perspective.

[Janaricious]

Actually i think it is good enough, i was talkig about learning Hindi in general..this video per se is quite ok, gd job ;)

[mikezimmer999]

Excellent! I'm using both the Rosetta Stone method and Living Language, and your postings are a great supplement. I tried the first two on my Indian friend and he thought I'd been reading his chats because it's exactly what they say to each other. More of these from you would be awesome.

[laspanishchica]
