Here’s how you introduce yourself in Hindi. Let’s go.

1) Hello, It’s nice to meet you.

Hello and Nice to meet you in Hindi are a must-know phrases. And any introduction will probably will start with these words.

• Hello, it’s nice to meet you.
• हैलो, आप से मिल कर खुशी हुई।
• hello, aap se mil kar khushi hui.

2) My name is _____.

This is simple. To say “my name is” in Hindi, you just need the word “Shmi.” Then say your name. For example, if the name is Vihaan, it would be like this…

• My name is Vihaan.
•  मेरा नाम विहान है|.
• mera nam vihan hai

Or, stick your name in here:

• mera nam _____ hai

• mein india se hoon.

4) I live in ______.

What about now – where do you live? Just fill in the blank with the country or city (if famous) into this phrase. I’ll use New Delhi as an example.

• I live in New Delhi.

• mein ek saal se hindi seekh raha hoon.

6) I’m learning Hindi at _____.

• I’m a teacher.
• में एक शिक्षक हूँ|
• mein ek shikshak hoon.

9) One of my hobbies is _____.

Now, let’s move onto personal interests – hobbies! My hobbies are languages, linguajunkieing and such. How about you? You’ll definitely need this line when introducing yourself in Hindi.

Here’s an example to use:
