Devanagari script foundations, polite pronouns, SOV grammar structures, and daily conversation.
Hindi uses Subject-Object-Verb (SOV) sentence structure and distinguishes three levels of respect for pronouns (ranging from intimate to highly formal):
| Level | Pronoun | Hindi Script | Example Usage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Formal / Respectful | Aap (You) | आप | आप कैसे हैं? (Aap kaise hain? - How are you?) |
| Informal / Close | Tum (You) | तुम | तुम क्या कर रहे हो? (Tum kya kar rahe ho?) |
| First Person | Main (I) | मैं | मैं सॉफ्टवेयर डेवलपर हूँ (Main software developer hoon) |
| English Meaning | Target Phrase (Hindi) | Phonetic Guide |

| Hello / Greetings | नमस्ते (Namaste) | Na-mas-te |
| Thank you very much | बहुत-बहुत धन्यवाद | Bahut-bahut dhanyavad |
| Pleased to meet you | आपसे मिलकर खुशी हुई | Aap-se mil-kar khushi hui |
