What You Hear in Ahmedabad—And How to Say It
Ahmedabad is one of Gujarat’s liveliest cities, and the Gujarati spoken here is full of color, friendliness, and expression. Whether you’re walking through a market or chatting with neighbors, certain words and phrases are part of daily life.
Common City Words Kids Will Love
Children can pick up everyday Gujarati from things they see and hear all around:
- Kem cho? – How are you?
- Majama! – I’m good!
- Chalo – Let’s go
- Bazaar – Market
You might hear these at tea stalls, parks, or even temples. They’re fun to say and easy to use!
Expressions from Real Life
Ahmedabad is also known for its street food and warm hospitality. Try these local words:
- Farsan – Savory snacks
- Chai – Tea (often served sweet with milk)
- Mandir – Temple
- Rickshaw – Local ride (yes, kids love this one!)
These words help kids feel connected to the people and places in the city.
