I still want to learn proper Hindi but it remains so funny to me how much vocabulary and grammar you can pick up through Bollywood movies and their soundtracks

Saari khushiyon se ajnabi hokar, ek tere gham se roshanas rahe,

Aaj jee hai ke tujh ko yaad kare, aur phir dair tak udaas rahe.

A. R. Rahman - Jai Ho 2008

"Jai Ho" is a song composed by A. R. Rahman for the 2008 film Slumdog Millionaire. He planned the score in two months and completed it in 20 days. The lyrics were written by Gulzar and are a combination of Hindi, Urdu and Punjabi, with a touch of Spanish.

"Jai Ho" is a phrase which can be roughly translated as "Let there be victory". At the time of its release, covers and remixes of the song and performances of the "Jai Ho" dance were posted on YouTube. It received universally favorable reviews from music critics, who cited it as the best song on the Slumdog Millionaire soundtrack, which peaked at #4 on the US Billboard 200 Chart.

"Jai Ho" won an Academy Award for Best Original Song and a Grammy Award for Best Song Written for a Motion Picture, Television or Other Visual Media.

Slumdog Millionaire won eight Academy Awards in total, including Best Picture and Best Original Music Score, seven BAFTA Awards, including Best Film and Best Film Music, and four Golden Globe Awards, including Best Film and Best Original Score. The soundtrack won two Grammy Awards, one for the album itself and another, as previously mentioned, for "Jai Ho".

It recieved a total of 63,8% yes votes! :D 💖

Hindi is not difficult. reading in Hindi is not difficult. writing in Hindi is not difficult. counting in Hindi is not difficult. Hindi numbers are not difficult (१२३४५६७८९०). alphabets क्ष,ष,फ are not difficult. you just consume, are surrounded by and have been taught english and the latin alphabets way more than your native language and script use some sense

(this goes for any language not just hindi btw)
