Survival Phrases Lesson 38
In India, The Hotel Check-in is Only Half the Battle
In this lesson, we'll introduce to you some more useful phrases for hotels and the like. The first phrase is "What time is checkout?" In Hindi, this is kyaa samay hai hotal CHHodne kaa.
kyaa samay hai hotal CHHodne kaa
Let’s break it down by syllable: kyaa samay hai hotal CHHodne kaa
Now, let's hear it once again: kyaa samay hai hotal CHHodne kaa
The first word, kyaa, means "what" in Hindi.
Let's hear it once again: kyaa
Then, you have samay hai, which means "is the time."
Let's break it down by syllable: samay hai
Now, let's hear it once again: samay hai
After that, you have hotal, which is the same as "hotel" in English.
Following that, we have CHHodne kaa. This literally means "to leave," and it is from the verb CHHodnaa.
So let's hear it once again: CHHodne kaa
CHHodne kaa
Let's break it down by syllable: CHHodne kaa
So to recap here, we have kya samay hai hotal CHHodne kaa. Literally, this means "What time must we check out?"
Let's look at some other words you could need while staying in a hotel, because there will be times when you need more of certain things. Here are a few more words that might come in handy.
"towel" or Tauliyaa
Tauliyaa
Tauliyaa
"toothbrush" or tooTHbraSH
tooTHbraSH
tooTHbraSH
"toothpaste" or tooTHpest
tooTHpest
tooTHpest
"shampoo" or Shaimpoo

Shaimpoo
"soap" or saabun
saabun
saabun
Let's try to ask, "Can I have some more soap?" This is THoda aur saabun mil sakTa hai?
THoda aur saabun mil sakTa hai?
Let's break it down and hear it one more time: THoda aur saabun mil sakTa hai?
THoda aur saabun mil sakTa hai?
The first words are THoda aur, and it means "some more."
Let's break down this word and hear it one more time: Thoda
THoda
Next, you have the thing you are looking for. Here, it is saabun or "soap".
Then, you have mil sakTa, or which literally means "can I have" or "can I get."
Finally, you have hai, meaning "is." So altogether, we have THoda aur saabun mil sakTa hai? Literally, this means, "Can I have some more soap?"
That's all for this lesson. Have a great stay at the hotel!

Outro

Okay. To close out this lesson, we'd like you to practice what you've just learned. I'll provide you with the English equivalent of the phrases, and you're responsible for shouting it out loud. You have a few seconds before I give you the answer, so गुड लक! (guud Lak!), which means "good luck" in Hindi.
"What time is checkout?" - kyaa samay hai hotal CHHodne kaa
kyaa samay hai hotal CHHodne kaa
kyaa samay hai hotal CHHodne kaa
"Can I have some more soap?" - THoda aur saabun mil sakTa hai?
