  1. Practicality:

    • Example: “Where’s the station?” – “स्टेशन कहाँ है?” (Station kahaan hai?)
  2. Connection:
    • Locals love when travelers try Hindi—it builds trust and smiles.
    • Example: “Thank you!” – “धन्यवाद!” (Dhanyavaad!)
  3. Safety:
    • Handle emergencies like “I need a doctor” – “मुझे डॉक्टर चाहिए।” (Mujhe doctor chahiye.)
    • Avoid confusion in busy places like train stations.
  4. Bargaining Power:
    • Negotiate prices in markets—e.g., “It’s too expensive!” – “यह बहुत महंगा है!” (Yeh bahut mehnga hai!)
  5. Cultural Respect:
    • Speaking Hindi shows appreciation for India’s diversity.
