| Now, let's hear it once again: kripya, Tiin tikate |
| The first word, kripya means, "please," and Tiin means, "three." |
| Now let's hear it one more time: Tiin |
| Next, we have tikate, which is plural for "ticket." |
| To recap here, we have Tiin tikate. Literally, this means, "three tickets." So altogether, we have kripya, Tiin tikate. Literally, this means, "Three tickets, please." |
| "Five tickets, please" in Hindi is kripya, panCH tikate. |
| kripya, panCH tikate |

| Very often, you may be asked to show your ticket, not only at the entrance, so keep these tickets with you until you leave the place you are visiting. They will ask you, aapka tikat. |
| aapka tikat |
| This means "Your ticket, please." |
| The first word is aapka or "your", and is the formal "you." |
| Then you have tikat or "ticket": aapka tikat. |
| So altogether, we have aapka tikat, which literally means "Your ticket, please." |
