Anonymous asked: hi. i am trying to learn a few words in Hindi. i keep seeing sahi hai bachee. i'm curious to know what they mean? ty, for your help.

नमस्ते namaste and thanks for the question! I’m glad to hear your learning Hindi, I’d love to help you! 

Let’s go through this word by word! Firstly we have सही sahee.  This means correct, or right. Next it’s है hai. This should be one of the first Hindi words you learn, it means “is”! Finally then we have बच्ची baccee (remember ‘c’ is pronounced as “ch” like in church). This means child (for a female) or girl.

So all together we have सही है बच्ची sahee hai baccee - That’s correct child.  You’d use it if a small girl said something that was correct and you wanted to encourage them - सही है बच्ची sahee hai baccee - that’s correct girl!

कोई बात नहीं koee baat naheen - It’s no problem! I hope that helps and don’t forget to ask me if you have any more questions.
