Use the Hindi audio where available; playback uses a Hindi voice provided by your browser or device, and voice availability and quality vary. In the hints, aa is a long open vowel, ee is a long “ee”, and oo is a long “oo”; the final n in mehn, hehn, hoon or kahaan indicates nasal resonance rather than a strong n. Hindi kh, th, ph and dh include a puff of breath; th is not the English sound in “think”, ph is not f, and jh is a j sound followed by breath.
यह कितने का है? is a useful price question when pointing to one item. Hindi agreement changes with the noun: for a feminine item, you may hear यह कितने की है? (yah kitne kee hai?). These three numbers are a starting point; ask someone to write a price if it is unclear.
