Discussing your Job in Hindi

Business contacts with people in other countries continues to increase in importance. Because modern technology supports the quick exchange of information over vast distances, you may have to talk to foreign business partners — or even travel to their countries. If you happen to have business contacts with Indian companies, knowing some basic Hindi business vocabulary may be useful. Because English is the language of business, however, Indian has adopted many English computer and software terms.

Karyalaya is Hindi for "office," but people often use "nizi karyalaya" to refer to their "personal office". The following sentences give you a taste of the phrases you hear in offices everywhere:

• "My desk is too small." pronounced as "Meri meja bahut choti hai"
• "Is it a big company?" pronounced as "Kya yeh ek badi kampani hai?"
• "Not really, let's say medium-sized." pronounced as "Vastav mein nahin, madhyam aakar ki kahana".
• "He works for a small agency." pronounced as "Woh ek choti si ejensi ke liye kaam karta hai"
