Hi Momper :) It's Songlover from the Forum :) Well here it doesn't mean in the Thodi context. As I said on the forum ell you say thodi hai in a way to emphasise your point Like it is saying - He is not a suspect! or another could be Mera Beta Koi Chor Thodi Hai - My Son is not a Thief! Let's see if someone improves upon the answer :) Best of Luck :)

this is not example of good hindi. firstly, I couldnt understand what on earth this can mean. After reading Gagan I understood what you wanted to say. This is exclamatory sentence and that too slightly less used version. Better to use, ¨thodi hi hai!!¨ yes, use the symbol and insert a HI before hai. It will become clearer. ¨Thodi hi hai¨ is a phrase which means, ¨nahi hai¨ Like is so many other cases, single words out of a phrase dont make much sense, not at least contextual sense. so, we abhiyukt thodi (hi) hai!! = we (or better say wo) abhiyukt nahi hai.

its means less ... thodi , kam = less
