What you should understandआपको क्या समझना है?

  • Your voice going up at the end makes a question; going down makes a statement: 'You're coming?' vs 'You're coming.'
  • Stress the word that carries your meaning: 'I didn't say that' changes meaning depending on which word is loud.
  • A flat voice can sound bored or rude even when your words are polite.
  • Rising then falling on 'Sorry?' asks for a repeat; a flat 'Sorry' just apologises.
