What you should understandआपको क्या समझना है?

  • When a word won't come, describe it: 'the thing you use to open a bottle' works fine.
  • Use a general word plus a detail: 'a kind of doctor who treats the skin.'
  • Say what it does or what it is like: 'It's similar to a train, but it runs inside the city.'
  • Keep the sentence moving instead of stopping - the listener will often supply the word.
