How to say How Are You in Hindi-Learn Hindi Most Used Phrases-Lesson 2

Welcome to second presentation of learning Hindi. In the previous Hindi Lesson 1, we learnt ” Hindi Greetings“. Now, we move to next level, We are going to learn to ask ” how are you in Hindi ?”.  Hindi Grammar is little different than other languages, we need to take care of gender, numbers and respect all the time . But before going advance level. I want to inform you there are so many ways to say how are you in Hindi lagnauge. First I want to teach you one which is very easy and no tension of learning gender, respect, numbers etc.

Kya Haal Hai ? ( How are you ?)

क्या   हाल   है ? 

You can use this sentence to ask anybody how is he or she.  Now in the video below I am going to teach you another method of asking same thing , this is little different but yes, another interesting method to ask how are you ? in Hindi langauge.

I believe you got a lot of idea from the video above. Before teaching you whole sentence, let me first talk about the words I used to make the sentence – Aap Kaise/Kaisi hain ?

Aap आप- You ( formal)
Tum तुम – You (friendly)
Too/Tu तू – You (intimate / informal)
Kaise कैसे(M) / Kaisi कैसी (F) – How
Hain हैं – To be verb
Therefore,to say formally how are you , in Hindi language , we have to say –

Aap Kaise Hain ? आप कैसे हैं ? (Asking How are you in Hindi to Male)

( to Respectful Male, Strangers , to every person whom you think, you need to provide respect, like your teacher, principal, your father , elder brothers , uncles etc. & to every person who is elder than you)

Aap Kaisi Hain ? आप कैसी हैं ? (Asking How are you in Hindi to female)

( to Respectful FeMale, Strangers , to every person whom you think, you need to provide respect, like your teacher, principal, your mother , elder sisters , aunties etc. & to every person who is elder than you)

Friendly , to your age people, friends, young brothers, young sisters –

Tum Kaise Ho ? तुम कैसे हो ? ( to a male)

Tum Kaisi Ho ? तुम कैसी हो ? ( to female)

For very intimate people –

Tu Kaisa Hai ? तू कैसा है ? ( To Male)

Tu Kaisi Hai ? तू कैसी है ? ( To Female)

Let’s learn to use how are you in few Hindi Sentences –

1. Oh Anil, tum kaise ho ?

ओह  अनिल , तुम  कैसे  हो ?

Oh! Anil, how are you ?

2. Namaskar Shreemati Sunita Jee, Aap Kaisi Hain ?

नमस्कार        श्रीमती           सुनिता  जी ,  आप  कैसी   हैं ?

  Hey,  Mrs. Sunita, How are you ?

3.  Namaste ! Kaise Ho Mere dost ?

नमस्ते       कैसे      हो     मेरे    दोस्त ?

Hi , how are you my friend ?

Some native people while speaking hindi sentence they can twist the sentence like this also –

Kaise Hain Aap ? Kaise Ho Tum or Kaisa Hai Tu ?

The subject can go at last , it do not changes the meaning but it is just sometime he way native Hindi speakers speak.

So far, we learnt to greet people in lesson 1 and in this 2nd lesson we learnt to say ” How are you ? ” in Hindi.
