Haha yes.. I don't know Hindi... that guy knows more Hindi then... why you north Indian peoples want make all states to learn Hindi..... !!! It will be awesome that every state have their language ...... instead of Hindi
sky traveller....I am not in fabour or against making all states to learn Hindi....whether Hindi,English or any other language...if 1 common language were there beside the regional languages,would not it have been better to communicate!!!! what is the benifit in having many languages without understanding each other?
You're such an inspiration to solo travelers, also love how you dont go too deep But just give us an outline experience and leave the thinking part to us, thus not enforcing your views on the viewers I find it very inspiring Great job, keep em coming
Not to point out mistakes. You really learned general Hindi nicely. I am learning German, Spanish and French myself. I speak English, Hindi and Gujarati.
To me Hindi is the most beautiful language in the world, studied it a little. Thanks for sharing a few basics of it with us, very few travel bloggers do it...
I was mainly talking about when you listen to it, the musicality of it. A little bit like Italian. Sanskrit is not regularly spoken anymore, I think. Anyway, Hindi derived from it with the Devanagari script.
Namaste - Actual meaning - I bow down in front of God in you. Thank you - hindi- Dhanyawad , shukriya . Tamil- Nandri Malayalam- nanni. How are you - Hindi- Aap kaise Hain Tamil - yepdi irikan Malayalam- Sugam aanu.
The real meaning of namaste is I bow to you ( that’s why people bow their head towards hands or chest when they say namaste .. hello is just hello M new subscriber.. and I just love your videos .. 💕 thought u should know it.. love and blessings always ~ namaste ~
So I think now you should head on to North-east india, get some new expriences even the most popular festival(hornbill festival) of north-east india has started..
That's awesome man how much you have learned the language!! I love to learn bits of languages here and there when I travel. When I was in greece and italy and europe I tried to pick up as much as i can because I know ill be back soon. Cheers man and safe travels!
i am from southern part of india and i dont speak or understand a dammm hini language you know better hindi than many south indians great journey ,keep rocking
It is highly commendable....your knowledge of workable Hindi. Also inspite of all overwhelming difficulties, you keep coming back to India. Also without fuss you are able to travel in local buses and get your way through!! Thumbs up to you as a decent, refined Traveller. I guess you get the best of every place you travel to. People like you tend to prove the adage "East is east and West is west and the Twain shall never meet...." wrong.
Loved this video! Maybe I should make a similar one for Malayalam :D After living in Kerala for 3 years I have learned to understand most of what people talk here, but like you said, you can manage with english here very well. Do you think namaste is more of an north Indian thing to say, here the word is Namaskaram but I never hear people use it, everyone says simply hello :) greetings from Kerala!
Yes I was expecting Namaskaram from South Indian languages. All Dravidian languages are derivatives of Sanskrit except Tamil (which is debatable may be true or not because mostly that state is /was/continue to be always charged with politicized linguistical environment ) . Hindi is also derivative but compared to Dravidian , it has less Sanskrit . Although HI/Hello are also common in north /west and east but namaste/touching feet is still the preferred way amongst known and relatives who are elder. Hi/Hello is more of a same age /young thing and also when interacting with westerners. I dont know if Kerala has Hi/Hello continues to be greeting for known close /relatives elders also . If that is the case , I can reason out that Kerala also got most of western and mid east influence. They have one of larger christian and Muslim population in south. This can be one of another reason why modern day Malayam might be influenced by Arabic and English. Language and art/ culture are much more preserved in South than North. Because North was constant under attack . That is also one of the reason why temples is south are still preserved. In north, temples have been destroyed and re built many times.
I had seen most of your videos, and they are great... I'll love to watch that Malayalam video you are thinking about, as I was in kerala for some time.
My Sweet Dharma n in Odisha it's namaskar...Sis😊 btw hope u enjoy south India cuz they r kind n never migrate to another state n try to eat their language like north Indian Hindi speaking r doing in Odisha.....I love south Indian n north east Indian
nowadays hardly anyone uses words like namaste / namaskaram and dhanyawaad , and everyone in india says hello while picking up their phone so it has taken over the word namaste
Oh Gabriel!!!, you are such a genius. From 6yrs I'm in Bangalore, India. But till now, I've totally confused about the number system in Kananda/Tamil/Telugu 😬 & you are so perfect for number system in Hindi. 😳
Namestey means..The ability is within me so salute the ability within you This is about love and highest regard one human can have toward another How are you ( aap kaise ho)
I liked that you know some of the commonly used words in India. Also I like the videos that you make..lately I was.planning to go on a trip to Rishikesh and your video was really helpful to me..I got good insight of the Rishikesh and this will really help me to plan my schedule.. Keep making such videos and yeah keep visiting India..it's a beautiful country 😄
He is right actually in his description. You r right that Hi and thank you common between youngs and interacting with foreign visitors . But not amonst Indians -sp for elders or relatives or some person who is guest (and older than you) in your home. You still say Namaste atleast. Namaskar is a bit formal and used more formally in interacting amongst socially respected people or priest or gurus (they will expect to say namaskar not Hi :) . A higher level than Namaste and Namaskar of showing repect is touching feet - Here is interesting video ruclips.net/video/9Ur-0sDYwHw/видео.html and here is another video where a graduating Indian student touched feet of Dean IIT(Illinois Institute of Technology) Chicago in the USA and he was surprised :) ruclips.net/video/eqteeLlQn5E/видео.html and here is more ruclips.net/video/L5k8N72A5aU/видео.html
Aches and ticke both mean OK. One is meant as just a like ‘yeah, okay’ casual type way ( acha) and ticke means when you’re saying okay as a question, like you’ve gave an instruction, for eg, and then say ‘okay? You understand? That sort of thing.
I appreciate your efforts and you are pronouncing the words well. When i went through the comments i found some people who are making corrections and discouraging you. I advice you to not pay much attention to them.
Hey, I was looking to see if you had a trip to Ranikhet, in the Uttarkhand Almora District but couldn't find one. In 2007 I went to India, it was hot and I was planning to cool off in Almora City, but ended up in Ranikhet, still in Almora District. The mountains looming up over the small city was breath taking. It's one of the happy places I go to in my mind when I don't want to be present where I'm at. :) It was one of those accidents that became the best part of my entire trip. Next time I'd like to go in March when all the fruit trees are in bloom. Please Gabriel, next time you go to India please do a video of Ranikhet village and area. I would like to see if it's still the same when I went over 10 years ago. Also, I couldn't find a video of chandni Chowk bizarre in Delhi, across from the railroad station. All the Best in your journey.
you said it right"Aap Kaise Ho" . In English it is simply called "How are you".But here It can be called as"Aap kaise ho" or " Tu kaisa hay". Hindi has many words for "you". Aap and tu or tum are most common . If you use "Aap" then it means you are giving a lot of respect to other person. You are right Gabriel . And tell me , Aap kaise ho?
Hey Gabriel. Loved your video and your hindi speaking skills. Way to go and good luck for your future journeys/endeavours. Just wanted to clarify on 1 thing that Hindi is not the National Language of India. Hindi is widely spoken language but all together there's no term of National Language of India. :) It is one of the two official languages along with English with State language as another language used for official work within that state. So, I hope this is informative for you and for your future trips to India. Good Luck and God Speed!!!
hi Gabriel ..now 2017 new generation have well known English .. in India.. so everybody who's came in India most welcome .. And they're use Google translater also ... so in 2017 No barred in India .. for cheap travel use also Gov't buses, train, rest house, Ashram, local hospitality..
Learning Devnagri alphabet is also helpful. No matter south doesn't use it and most places has information in English also. Remembering 50 symbols is just 3 day affair.
"Namaskar" or "Namaste" is a more polite and respectful way of greeting. For example, in the family practice only young ones greet elders with a "Namaskar" but not the other way aruound.
one correction . Hindustan isn't used to signify that india is a land for hindus , it is actually geographic in nature . people who live beyond the indus are hindus , regardless of their relgion or atleast in that spirit we call it "hindustan" and not based on religion . The actual name of our religion is sanatana dharma , hinduism is something which other people called our religion .So Hindustan =India and not equal to land for hindus
Danyavad for this video . I was wondering , with how you were describing the expanded meanings for the word for good- "achá" - if achá might also be used were in English we would casually say " thank you". ?
Indians mostly understand english language but at the same time majority indians can't reply you back fluently in english. when speak person can speak english slowly by words by word they can be understand them but it is hard to understand when speak person can speak english expressly(like british accent). i am from south part of india and my native language is Tamil but here most people don't speak pure tamil language they speak Tanglish(80%Tamil+20%English) and mostly youngsters and city peoples can understand english but in between village elder peoples mostly they can't. But hello, thank you words are understandable in most part of india and also we used to thank you as thank you in our language but we have many alternative words for thank you in our language but we won't use them frequently we just go for 'thank you'. Up to my knowledge, not only in my state, mostly in south india's other state people also don't speak pure local language , they speak 80% of local language+20% of english. So foreigners don't have to worry about language crisis in india. But starring it is not avoidable one in india for foreigners especially white peoples we see them as like, some aliens are came to our turf and look at them.so It is a default common thing in india for foreigners.
1. India : Hindusthan2. Indian : Hindusthani3. Thank you : Dhanyawaadah (in Sanskrit, the oldest language)4. Thank you : Dhanyawaad (In Hindi language) Please correct following for your reference. Dhanyawaad existed in Hindi before Britishers invaded India
Hello, Thank you, & sorry are very popular, almost everyone knows & use. While Danayavad isn't invented by by British. But not used as often as thanks. Interesting vedio with simple thumbnail. Should have used Hindi words to attract more eyes and Hindi is also understandable Pakistan, Nepal, And also Afganistan, Bangaladesh etc
I guess you went way too deep with words. Having an idea of head movements for yes and no helps much more than that. Anyway, you spoke most words really well. Love your videos!
Cha or chai is also the word for tea in most of Asia and even parts of europe... Btw if you haven't done one already, maybe you can do a video on Indian cuisine, which I know varies by region
Hey Gabriel! Nice video! Just a question about Southeast Asia, did you ever take antimalarial pills or any vaccines when you were travelling through countries as Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam and Thailand? If not, which precautions did you take? Thanks!
Actually, Possible would translate to 'sambhav' or 'mumkin'. Is it possible can be simply translated to :'Kya ye ho sakta hai?' 'Milega' means can it be found/obtained/got?
To add some more travelling words which are not in video Where : kahaan (कहाँ ) Place: Jagah (जगह ) This: Ye/ Yah Where is this place : Yah jagah kahaan hai ? Who: Kaun (कौन) Me /I : main (मैं) My : mera (मेरा ) Name : naam (नाम) My Name is Gabriel : Mera naam Gabriel hai. While Shopping in Northern part of India use Hindi language: "Kitne ka" : Rougly translate as cost. "Kitna" word is asking for how much in form of number. What is cost: Kitne ka hai ? To ask for lower the price: Kam karo ("Kam" means low, "Karo" meas do it.)
"Accha" can also be "ok", and "yes" is also "han jee", because "jee" is a way of adding some respect :)
Suffix "jee" is not universal.Mostly in and around Delhi.
polkhol master It is universal in Hindi language, wherever it is spoken, if you want to speak in a more polite way.
I think acha is best translated as "fine", especially for british english.
Cristina Marques subscribe to me and i will subscrube to you
Right
Dhanyawad is a sanskrit word derived from two words....
1.Dhanya-means blessed
2.vaad -means causing to speak
true, not given by british
Interesting Gabe, thanks. Will come in handy on my next trip to India :) Rishikesh looks nice too.
when we are waiting for u....come to pune as well...
Ok mate, not sure when exactly but I will keep that in mind! :)
Thanks for sharing. I have the unfortunate last name of Lund which is a Hindi word.
Richard Lund haha
its ok
OMG. This cracked me up no end. 😂😂😂😂😂
it means Pennis
Pankaj Traveler least its not gand

Gabriel...I assure you that even many Indians(Southern mostly) do not know as much Hindi as you do.awesome mate..
bohut achchha :)
you must be from Tamilnadu !! :P
nehi bhai..mein Kolkata se hoon.. tum?
Ravan Guha
you are right, he enjoys criticizing others lol!!!
Haha yes.. I don't know Hindi... that guy knows more Hindi then... why you north Indian peoples want make all states to learn Hindi..... !!!
It will be awesome that every state have their language ...... instead of Hindi
sky traveller....I am not in fabour or against making all states to learn Hindi....whether Hindi,English or any other language...if 1 common language were there beside the regional languages,would not it have been better to communicate!!!! what is the benifit in having many languages without understanding each other?
Dhanyavad is not British gift. Dhanya is a Sanskrit word in many old texts. Dhanya means greatfull(kind of). That's how dhanyavad is derived.
I cant believe i spent 12 mins learning hindi from you when i have spoken it all my life. More power to you man. You are adorable.
Haha, cool.
Dhanyavad has Sanskrit origin....It is a combination of two Sanskrit words Dhanya (blessed) and vāda (speech).
You're such an inspiration to solo travelers, also love how you dont go too deep
But just give us an outline experience and leave the thinking part to us, thus not enforcing your views on the viewers
I find it very inspiring
Great job, keep em coming
Went to India also, loved it, would love to learn Hindi if anyone is there to help
Not to point out mistakes. You really learned general Hindi nicely. I am learning German, Spanish and French myself. I speak English, Hindi and Gujarati.
I'm Indian and speak Hindi everyday, still watched the entire video till the end. Great job done there, Gabriel!
U r good in hindi...
Abviously hindi can help lot of foreigners , it makes ur day simple and easy
GT you are too good. You are good teacher of Hindi for foreigners, as they can easy understand your accent.
Thanks, appreciate it.
Great video. I knew this video would have all the locals jumping on board correcting!!
Thanks, yeah me too.
To me Hindi is the most beautiful language in the world, studied it a little. Thanks for sharing a few basics of it with us, very few travel bloggers do it...
I was mainly talking about when you listen to it, the musicality of it. A little bit like Italian. Sanskrit is not regularly spoken anymore, I think. Anyway, Hindi derived from it with the Devanagari script.
Namaste - Actual meaning - I bow down in front of God in you.
Thank you - hindi- Dhanyawad , shukriya .
Tamil- Nandri
Malayalam- nanni.
How are you - Hindi- Aap kaise Hain
Tamil - yepdi irikan
Malayalam- Sugam aanu.
Handy tips, cheers. I got your book on Google books to read on my tablet while travelling. Some good yarns, well done.

Hello India is incredible, just plunge into India for exploring as much as you can, we Indian are very amiable and helpful.

That's awesome man how much you have learned the language!! I love to learn bits of languages here and there when I travel. When I was in greece and italy and europe I tried to pick up as much as i can because I know ill be back soon. Cheers man and safe travels!

Great video, very informative! Would like to see more like this from other destinations.
Thanks - Dhanyabaad and Sukriyaa as well.
Instead of identifying his mistake, please appreciate his knowledge about India
If we know the mistake, we will not make the mistake
Oh Gabriel!!!, you are such a genius. From 6yrs I'm in Bangalore, India. But till now, I've totally confused about the number system in Kananda/Tamil/Telugu 😬 & you are so perfect for number system in Hindi. 😳

Keep making such videos and yeah keep visiting India..it's a beautiful country 😄
yeah ur right both namaste and dhanyawad have kind of become old school for young indian ppl and dats why hi and thanks are more frequently used..
He is right actually in his description. You r right that Hi and thank you common between youngs and interacting with foreign visitors . But not amonst Indians -sp for elders or relatives or some person who is guest (and older than you) in your home. You still say Namaste atleast.

Pacchees is for 25

Namaste Gabriel ji,

Namaste and dhanyavad.
Cool video, do more like this please! Have you heard of vipassanna meditation?
Yes, I'm interested in doing a vipasana course sometime.
Gabriel Traveler tubular!:), its tough cus its boring at times but worth it imo.Take care be safe and have fun!
Aches and ticke both mean OK. One is meant as just a like ‘yeah, okay’ casual type way ( acha) and ticke means when you’re saying okay as a question, like you’ve gave an instruction, for eg, and then say ‘okay? You understand? That sort of thing.
Heidi Hawkins do u speak Hindi?
Namaste in Greek means "here we are".
Really? Well that's a trip.
Lol
I appreciate your efforts.
best of luck

I appreciate your efforts and you are pronouncing the words well. When i went through the comments i found some people who are making corrections and discouraging you. I advice you to not pay much attention to them.

Also, I couldn't find a video of chandni Chowk bizarre in Delhi, across from the railroad station. All the Best in your journey.
impressive.
you've learnt many words in Hindi!
Thanks.
A lot better than the other channel I learn stuff here ty
you said it right"Aap Kaise Ho" . In English it is simply called "How are you".But here It can be called as"Aap kaise ho" or " Tu kaisa hay". Hindi has many words for "you". Aap and tu or tum are most common . If you use "Aap" then it means you are giving a lot of respect to other person. You are right Gabriel . And tell me ,
Aap kaise ho?
Great, sounds good! I'm well, enjoying India.
Hey Gabriel. Loved your video and your hindi speaking skills. Way to go and good luck for your future journeys/endeavours. Just wanted to clarify on 1 thing that Hindi is not the National Language of India. Hindi is widely spoken language but all together there's no term of National Language of India. :)
It is one of the two official languages along with English with State language as another language used for official work within that state.
So, I hope this is informative for you and for your future trips to India. Good Luck and God Speed!!!
Thanks fr the Video sir,....👍👍
Amazing! Thank you, Gabriel.
Very impressive Hindi skills :) but hey, you missed the all time favourite word of foreigners here: " chalo, chalo"!
Yes, I forgot to include that one and also "baksheesh". After I made the video I thought of a bunch of other words I should have mentioned.
Wow happy to see you speaking hindi
You make great travel videos! Small correction, Hindi is not the national language. There is no national language
Very informative video!
Best video Rajasthan
I take your knowledge to further extend, the word Ganges stands for the Ganga along with its tributaries.
hi Gabriel ..now 2017 new generation have well known English .. in India.. so everybody who's came in India most welcome .. And they're use Google translater also ... so in 2017 No barred in India .. for cheap travel use also Gov't buses, train, rest house, Ashram, local hospitality..

Gabriel Traveler thanks it was between there or India. I'll let you know how it goes I'll be going through Many parts of the country
Jordan Okrend visit kumaon region of uttrakhand in winters.
Learning Devnagri alphabet is also helpful. No matter south doesn't use it and most places has information in English also. Remembering 50 symbols is just 3 day affair.
Thanks sir
Hi sir I'm Rajasthan
NAMASTE !! You are Awesome Gabriel brother👍... love watching ur all video's.. keep uploading more...
Very good Sir we want you to come to India again and again...👌😄
"Namaskar" or "Namaste" is a more polite and respectful way of greeting. For example, in the family practice only young ones greet elders with a "Namaskar" but not the other way aruound.
appreciated your knowledge about India...
Nice video..i really appreciate your try ..its difficult to learn hindi for english speakers..:)
i love ur description about good = achha
one correction . Hindustan isn't used to signify that india is a land for hindus , it is actually geographic in nature . people who live beyond the indus are hindus , regardless of their relgion or atleast in that spirit we call it "hindustan" and not based on religion . The actual name of our religion is sanatana dharma , hinduism is something which other people called our religion .So Hindustan =India and not equal to land for hindus
greatttt explaination!!!
It was until foreign invaders conquered and forced conversion
Danyavad for this video . I was wondering , with how you were describing the expanded meanings for the word for good- "achá" - if achá might also be used were in English we would casually say " thank you". ?
sometime as really
Indians mostly understand english language but at the same time majority indians can't reply you back fluently in english. when speak person can speak english slowly by words by word they can be understand them but it is hard to understand when speak person can speak english expressly(like british accent). i am from south part of india and my native language is Tamil but here most people don't speak pure tamil language they speak Tanglish(80%Tamil+20%English) and mostly youngsters and city peoples can understand english but in between village elder peoples mostly they can't. But hello, thank you words are understandable in most part of india and also we used to thank you as thank you in our language but we have many alternative words for thank you in our language but we won't use them frequently we just go for 'thank you'. Up to my knowledge, not only in my state, mostly in south india's other state people also don't speak pure local language , they speak 80% of local language+20% of english. So foreigners don't have to worry about language crisis in india.
But starring it is not avoidable one in india for foreigners especially white peoples we see them as like, some aliens are came to our turf and look at them.so It is a default common thing in india for foreigners.
Nice Intro Track.
Love your videos looking far ward to going to india fed March is this a good time to travel
Yes, February and March is the perfect time to go to India.
1. India : Hindusthan2. Indian : Hindusthani3. Thank you : Dhanyawaadah (in Sanskrit, the oldest language)4. Thank you : Dhanyawaad (In Hindi language)
Please correct following for your reference. Dhanyawaad existed in Hindi before Britishers invaded India
ravishankar tripathi sanskrit is not the oldest language...tamil is the oldest
Hello, Thank you, & sorry are very popular, almost everyone knows & use. While Danayavad isn't invented by by British. But not used as often as thanks. Interesting vedio with simple thumbnail. Should have used Hindi words to attract more eyes and Hindi is also understandable Pakistan, Nepal, And also Afganistan, Bangaladesh etc
I guess you went way too deep with words. Having an idea of head movements for yes and no helps much more than that. Anyway, you spoke most words really well. Love your videos!
Cha or chai is also the word for tea in most of Asia and even parts of europe... Btw if you haven't done one already, maybe you can do a video on Indian cuisine, which I know varies by region
Hey Gabriel! Nice video! Just a question about Southeast Asia, did you ever take antimalarial pills or any vaccines when you were travelling through countries as Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam and Thailand? If not, which precautions did you take? Thanks!
