Pronounce “main” as “may. " In Hindi, when the “N” sound comes at the end of a word, it’s usually nasal.

" Pronounce “tumse” as “thumse,” with “thum” sounding like “thoom” Pronounce “pyar” like it’s spelled. Pronounce “kartha” with a light “th” sound. The “tha” syllable shouldn’t sound quite like the English word “the. " It’s more of a cross between “the” and “dah”. Pronounce “hoon” as “hoom/n.

" (I’d like to spend more time with you. ) Note that, traditionally, Indian dating/courtship is much more structured and formalized than Western dating and may involve some (or all) interactions (including marriage) being arranged by family members. However, in recent years, young Indians and expats have increasingly begun to adopt Western-style attitudes to dating. To be safe and avoid embarrassment, you may want to try to figure out your potential partner’s personal “rules” for dating before you ask him or her out.
