If you have gone shopping in the market and would want to try speaking some sentences in Hindi to make it convenient for the vendors and for yourself too, we bring a compilation of ten basic phrases in Hindi that you can practice and start using. Of course, there could be many more sentences related to shopping and things could escalate depending on what you buy or purchase, yet these basic sentences in Hindi will help you convey your desires more appropriately.
Wherever possible, I have given the gender-specific variant of the sentence because, in the Hindi language, you have to take care how the verb changes depending on the gender.
Feel free to ask or suggest more such sentences through the comment section and I will be happy to provide the Hindi translation of those too. For the ease of users and readers who don’t read the Devanagari script, I have provided the transliteration too.
