Hindi speaker needed

Shamisen · Nov 14, 2009

Can somebody please translate the following into Hindi for me please. One of my characters is Indian-Hindu and the context is simple: the two 'messages' below are texts sent by her mother to her, in their native language. They both use mobile phones with 'western' characters.

-Hello love, will you be coming home straight after school tonight or going to Annie's?

-What time do you want me to pick you up?

Making the tone formal is good, no need to try and put the translation into text speak!

Many thanks x

1) Beta, School se seeda ghar aaogi, ya Annie ke ghar jana hai?
(Beta is a loving way of saying child/daughter)
2)Tumhe main kitne baje pick karoon?

Well, there I have translated the two sentences. You will notice that I have written "School" instead of its Hindi alternative. I am an Indian American, my mom being an American, so well I have no idea what school is called in Hindi. Otherwise everything is translated correctly.
Happy writing!

That's wonderful, thanks so much for doing this - just what I needed!

Beta is such a lovely sounding term of affection.

School is "pathshala" but in this context, she'd be more likely to use "school."

I'd suggest the second sentence be modified to "Kitne baje pick-up karoon?" which translates to "What time shall pick [you] up?" but is shorter, as would be appropriate in a text message.

That's wonderful! Thank you so much for the additional translation - the two characters do have a close and loving relationship so the informality would be appropriate.
