English has one "you" for everyone: your baby, your boss and your grandmother. Hindi has three, and each one comes with its own verb endings. Choosing the level is not a grammar detail; it is how you show warmth, closeness or respect, and every listener notices it. In this episode: • The three levels • The verbs change too • Who uses which at home • Ji, aap log and softeners • Switching levels • Practice • Self-check questions with answers Key Hindi from this episode: तू खा (too khaa) = you eat, intimate. तुम खाओ (tum khaao) = you eat, familiar. आप खाइए (aap khaaiye) = please eat, respectful. बैठ (baith) = sit, intimate. बैठो (baitho) = sit, familiar. बैठिए (baithiye) = please sit, respectful.
