The English sound hints are approximate: English spelling cannot capture every Hindi sound, vowel length or nasal vowel. 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.

कल can mean “tomorrow” or “yesterday”; a question about future travel supplies the context. Asking the fare does not establish what the quoted total includes. Confirm the destination and any extras separately.
