Every family runs on a calendar: the school's parent meeting on the tenth, the rent due on the first, Dadi's doctor visit on Thursday, the cousin's birthday next week, the electricity bill of two thousand five hundred rupees. If you cannot catch a date, a day or a number in Hindi, you miss plans, pay the wrong amount, or arrive on the wrong day. Hindi adds three surprises for English speakers: the same word can mean "yesterday" or "tomorrow", another word can mean "the day after tomorrow" or "the day before yesterday", and big numbers are grouped in lakhs and crores instead of millions. In this episode: • What is the date today? • The seven days • Yesterday, tomorrow and the two-way words • Weeks, months and years • How old are you? ages and agreement • Lakh and crore: the big numbers • Scene: planning the month • Practice • Self-check questions with answers Key Hindi from this episode: आज क्या तारीख़ है?
