Survival Phrases Lesson 44
Your Ticket to a Culturally Rich Stay in India
There is so much to do and so much to see in India. And there are times when access to some must-see places requires an admission ticket. So in this lesson, we are going to work on getting you through the gate, as we'll look at buying tickets.
In India, "ticket" is tikat.

"Three tickets, please" in Hindi is kripya, Tiin tikate.
kripya, Tiin tikate
Let’s break it down by syllable: kripya, Tiin tikate
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."
