French - Hindi
This is a list of French words and their equivalent pronunciations in Hindi. I have tried my best to give to the exact equivalent of French words in Hindi but still both the languages are very different and that is why it is not always possible to produce the same sounds and accents. I will keep adding new words with each lesson. I hope it will help my Hindi speaking readers and I am still working on how to post an audio file with a lesson for my other readers. All suggestion are welcome. Happy learning!

http://hindifrenchenglish.blogspot.in/2011/01/hello-how-are-you-bye.html Lesson 1 - 'Hello, How are you?'

English
The first thing you might say when you will land here would be greeting to a person. So lets start with basic greetings! Example (English) Neil - Good Morning! Raj - Hello! Neil - How are you Raj? Raj - Yes, I am fine, thank you. And you? Neil - Fine, fine !!

, . !

() - ! (Neil - Namaste) - ! (Raaj - Namaste) - ? (Neil - Tum kaise ho Raaj?) - , . ? (Raaj - Main thik hoon, dhanyawad, aur tum?) - ! (Neil - Main thik hoon)

Example (French) Neil - Bonjour! Raj - Salut! Neil - Ca va Raj? Raj - Oui, ca va, merci. Et toi? Neil - Ca va, ca va !

) ( - -! - !

- , ? - , . ? - !

English
One of the important point to be noted while speaking to a French person is the Politeness, or I would say 'French politeness!' French politeness - Saying thank you, sorry and please for any favour, mistake and request respectively. Then it do not matter how minor the favour, mistake or request might be. To make it clearer, following are the examples to understand the level of importance of the events (especially for Indian readers).

, . ' . , .

'

Thank you - Merci (mer-si ) You are welcome - De rien (du-ri-yan) Sorry Pardon (paar-do) Desole (de-zo-le)

. ,

Excuse-me - Excusez-moi (Excuje-mwa) Please S'il vous plat (formal) (syl-wo-play) S'il te plat (informal) (syl-tu-play) Have a good meal - Bon appetit (Bonapeti)

Examples
Here, I give examples for only Minor reasons. Rest is the same for sorry, thanks and please as in English!

1. Sorry
Before you ask anyone anything, you have to start with Excuse-me Excuse me, what is the time? Excuse me where is the post office? If you are standing in the middle corridor and other person had difficulty to pass by, then you have to say sorry If a person is washing dishes in sink of your kitchen, and you wanted wash your hand, then you have to ask starting with excuse me. Even the person is your mother. 2. Please You ask for anything to any person What is the time please? Can you pass the salt please? 3. Thank you You say thank you if some serve you food/drink.. If someone holds the flapping door for you. If someone gets out of your way in the corridor. etc 4. Have a good meal If you see anyone eating food, you wish him/her/them, 'Bon appetit' ! If you do not know the person you wish them 'Bon appetit ' In office or in a party or family gathering! NOT in a restaurant or at railway station or in the street After someone wishes you ' Bon appetit', you have to say in return Merci (Thank you!)

- Merci (-) - du rien (-) - Pardon (-) Desole ( ) , - Excusez-moi (-) -s'il vous plat () (-- ) s'il te plat () (--) - Bon appetit ()

Apart from Basic Greetings and French Politeness, now what you might need to know is, How to ASK? Let us begin with the very basic vocabulary to form questions.

Lesson 5 : 'Mr, Mrs and Miss' Hindi Hinglis French h Shrimat Madame i

English

Pronunciations Madham( ) Misyuu( ) Madmozel( ) scher ( ) scher ( )

Madam/Mr s. Sir/Mister/ Monsieur Shriman Mr. Mademoise Miss Kumari lle Dear Cher Priya Dear Chre Priya
English The standard French style of address are, Monsieur - for males Madame - for married, divorced, widowed or elderly females Mademoiselle - for an unmarried female While writing a letter When not knowing the gender of the person to whom one is writing, the appropriate salutation is Madame , Monsieur When writing to a woman without knowing whether she is married or not, Madame (unless the woman is very young (less than 16 or
18). In the case where the writer knows well the recipient and is in friendly term with them, it is possible to add Cher/Chre in front of the address:

? - Monsieur( ) , , Madame() - Mademoiselle() , , ,

Cher Monsieur, ( ) Chre Mademoiselle, ( ) Chre Madame, ( ) / . ' ' . ' ' . ' ' .

Cher Monsieur, Chre Mademoiselle, (though this is not considered as

Chre Madame, An address using Chre/Cher and a title (Madame/Monsieur/Docteur) should normally not be
followed by a person's name; the address Cher Monsieur Dupuisis thus usually considered incorrect. In case the writer and the recipients are close friends or intimates, it is possible to use the given name of the recipient immediately after Cher/Chre.

Lesson 6: 'You, I and We'

English
French has two different words for you: tu and vous. In English, the second person subject pronoun is alwaysyou. In French, these distinctions are very important - you must understand when and why to use each of them. Otherwise, you may inadvertantly insult someone by using the wrong you. Tu is the familiar you, which demonstrates a certain closeness and informality. Use tu when speaking to one friend

tu

vous:

, - tu vous , . . tu
tu

peer / colleague relative child pet

Vous

Vous is the formal you. It is used to show respect or maintain a certain distance or formality with someone. Use vous when speaking to someone you don't know well

. . vous ?
Vous

an authority figure anyone to whom you wish to show respect

Vous is also the plural you - you have to use it when talking to more than one person, no matter how close you are. Example : familiar and singular: tu

- :
: vous : vous

:tu

Plural : vous formal and singular: vous
