नंबर पर कॉल करो

Place the specific number or the word इस (this) before the phrase. You are essentially giving a friendly command. The verb करो (do/make) comes at the very end. If you are texting, you can just send the digits followed by पर कॉल करो. It is like pointing at a button and saying "Press this."

You will use this constantly in daily life. Use it when sharing a plumber's contact with a neighbor. Use it when a friend asks for a restaurant's delivery number. It is perfect for those "I'm too busy to talk, call this person" moments. It works great in fast-paced environments like busy markets or offices.

Avoid using करो with your boss or elders. It sounds a bit too bossy for them. In those cases, swap करो for the polite कीजिए. Don't use it if you want them to call *you* specifically. For that, say मुझे कॉल करो (Call me). Using नंबर implies a third-party or a specific business line.

India has one of the world's largest mobile user bases. Because of this, English words like "Number" and "Call" are now part of standard Hindi. You won't hear people saying the pure Hindi word for telephone (दूरभाष) anymore. Using the English loanwords makes you sound modern and relatable. It reflects the "Digital India" vibe where everything happens over a quick call or WhatsApp.

• इस नंबर पर फोन करो (Phone this number) - very common.
• नंबर पर कॉल कीजिए (Please call the number) - the polite version.
• नंबर पर डायल करो (Dial the number) - slightly more technical.
• मिस कॉल करो (Give a missed call) - a uniquely Indian way to save money or signal someone!
