Traveling with Kids

1. क्या बच्चों के लिए मेनू है?

   Kya bac-chon ke li-ye me-nu hai?

   Is there a menu for children?

   Usage

   Used at restaurants to ask if there is a children's menu

   Grammar Note

   "Ke liye" means "for" (purpose). "Baccha" (child, singular) → "bacche" (plural) → "bacchon" (oblique form before postpositions)

2. पास में पार्क है क्या?

   Paas mein paark hai kya?

   Is there a park nearby?

   Usage

   Used when looking for a nearby park where children can play

   Grammar Note

   "Paas" means both "nearby" and is used in possession ("X ke paas" = X has). Indian parks typically feature "jhula" (swings) and "fisalpatti" (slides)

3. मेरा बच्चा बीमार है

   Me-ra bac-cha bi-maar hai

   My child is sick

   Usage

   Used to inform a doctor or hotel staff that your child is unwell

   Grammar Note

   For a girl, use "meri bacchi bimar hai". A pediatrician is "bachon ka doctor" or more formally "bal rog visheshagya" (child disease specialist)

4. क्या यह बच्चों के लिए सुरक्षित है?

   Kya yah bac-chon ke li-ye su-rak-shit hai?

   Is this safe for children?

   Usage

   Used to check whether food, an attraction, or activity is safe for children

   Grammar Note

   "Surakshit" is Sanskrit-derived, meaning "protected/safe". Same root: "suraksha" (safety/security). The antonym is "khatarnak" (dangerous, from Persian)

5. बच्चों के लिए हाई चेयर है?

   Bac-chon ke li-ye haai cheyar hai?

   Is there a high chair for children?

   Usage

   Used at restaurants to request a high chair for a baby or toddler

   Grammar Note

   In Indian restaurants, the English terms "baby chair" or "high chair" are widely understood. "Chhote bacche ke liye kursi hai?" (chair for a small child?) is an alternative

6. डायपर कहाँ मिलेगा?

   Daa-ya-par ka-han mi-le-ga?

   Where can I get diapers?

   Usage

   Used when looking for where to buy diapers

   Grammar Note

   "Diaper" (from English) is the most widely understood term in India. The native Hindi word "langot" (cloth diaper) is less common today. Available at supermarkets and medical stores

7. बच्चे का दूध गर्म करना है

   Bac-che ka dudh ga-ram kar-na hai

   I need to warm the baby's milk

   Usage

   Used at hotels or restaurants to request warming baby's milk

   Grammar Note

   "Garm" (warm/hot) is a basic Hindi adjective. Specify with "thoda garm" (slightly warm). You can also ask "microwave hai?" (is there a microwave?)

8. क्या बच्चों की एंट्री है?

   Kya bac-chon ki en-tri hai?

   Is there entry for children? (Are children allowed?)

   Usage

   Used to check whether children are allowed at an attraction, venue, or event

   Grammar Note

   Many Indian attractions offer free or discounted entry for children (under 12). Follow up with "bachon ki ticket kitne ki hai?" (how much is the children's ticket?)

9. मेरा बच्चा खो गया

   Me-ra bac-cha kho ga-ya

   My child is lost

   Usage

   Emergency phrase used when a child has gone missing in a public place

   Grammar Note

   "Kho jaana" is a compound verb meaning "to get lost". For a girl: "meri bacchi kho gayi". Combine with "madad kijiye!" (please help!) to convey urgency

10. बच्चों का स्विमिंग पूल है?

    Bac-chon ka swim-ing pul hai?

    Is there a children's swimming pool?

    Usage

    Used at hotels or resorts to ask about a shallow children's pool
