Hinglish for feelings and plans
How people say what they feel and what they plan in Roman Hindi.
When people want to say how they feel, they often switch to Hindi. A short phrase carries a feeling that an English sentence would take longer to say. These are the phrases you will see most in chats and comments.
Match the tone of the person you are writing to. A phrase that is friendly with a friend may be too casual for an elder.
