Vocabulary in Hindi – Professions Posted by on Sep 18, 2012 in Hindi Language

Many of you might be have learned basic vocabulary in Hindi and looking for specific vocabulary such as vocabulary for professions. Therefore, I have made this post which list various professions in Hindi along with the pronunciation scheme (romanized Hindi).

Before I present the vocabulary list for professions, I would like to point that some of Hindi words are usually interchangeably used with English words in cities as many people are bilingual. One example is “डाकिया” (Daakiya) for Postman. Also, the driver is called “चालक” (Chaalak) in Hindi and it is used as a suffix for the respective vehicle’s driver i.e. Pilot (Airplane) –  विमान चालक (Viman Chaalak) where Viman means Airplane  in English. Same for a taxi driver, bus driver and so on.
