Today’s ISpeakHindi podcast focuses on building vocabulary related to tools and machines including the Hindi words for hammer, rake, saw, screwdriver, sewing machine, and spade. We also point out that the Hindi and English words for calculator, camera, computer, crane digger, drill, and typewriter are the same. Also, the Hindi word for wrench is the same as the British word for spanner. This is out of the book “A First Bilingual Dictionary” on pages 68-69.
