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.
खाली (khaalee) means “empty” and can mean “available” when discussing a room. एक रात के लिए gives the length of your stay; it is a phrase fragment used in context. मुझे मदद चाहिए is a general request for help: follow it with a description or show what you need.
