   Aap ba-hut aa-kar-shak hain. Kyaa main aap-ke paas baith sak-taa/sak-ti hoon?

   You are very attractive. May I sit beside you?

   Usage

   Use the formal "aap" with strangers in India; the verb changes with the speaker's gender (sakta/sakti)

   Hindi verbs agree with the speaker's gender; "sakta" is masculine, "sakti" is feminine

2. क्या आप मेरे साथ चाय या कॉफी पीने चलेंगे?

   Would you like to go for tea or coffee with me?

   Usage

   A natural date invitation drawing on India's beloved chai culture

   Grammar Note

   "Kya" introduces a yes/no question; "chalenge" is the respectful future invitation form

   Kyaa main aap-kaa nam-bar le sak-taa/sak-ti hoon?

   May I have your phone number?

   Usage

   A polite way to ask for someone's phone number

   I have never met anyone like you.

   Usage
