연습하기 예시 노트와 팁 कैप 30초 만에
설명 कैप in your Level:
At the A1 level, you only need to know that 'कैब' (Cab) means a taxi. It is a loanword from English, so it is very easy to remember. You will use it in very simple sentences like 'यह कैब है' (This is a cab) or 'कैब कहाँ है?' (Where is the cab?). At this stage, don't worry too much about grammar; just focus on recognizing the word when you see it on an app or hear it at the airport. It's one of those 'survival' words that helps you get from point A to point B in an Indian city. You might also learn it alongside other basic transport words like 'बस' (bus) and 'ट्रेन' (train). The goal is simple identification and basic usage in emergency or travel situations.
무료 가입하고 전체 설명 읽기
At the A2 level, you should start using 'कैब' in full sentences and understand its gender. Remember, 'कैब' is usually feminine. You should be able to say things like 'मैं कैब का इंतज़ार कर रहा हूँ' (I am waiting for the cab) or 'कैब बहुत दूर है' (The cab is very far). You will also learn to pair it with common verbs like 'बुक करना' (to book) and 'बुलाना' (to call/summon). At this level, you are expected to handle basic interactions with a driver, such as giving a destination or asking for the fare. Understanding the postposition 'से' (se - by/from) is vital here, as in 'कैब से आओ' (Come by cab). You are moving beyond simple identification into functional communication.
By B1, you can use 'कैब' to describe more complex situations and express opinions. You might talk about why you prefer a cab over a bus, or describe a problem you had with a booking. For example, 'कल मेरी कैब समय पर नहीं आई, इसलिए मैं लेट हो गया' (Yesterday my cab didn't come on time, so I got late). You will use more descriptive adjectives like 'आरामदायक' (comfortable) or 'भरोसेमंद' (reliable). You should also be comfortable using 'कैब' in different tenses—past, present, and future. At this stage, you are not just getting a ride; you are discussing the experience of transportation in a Hindi-speaking environment. You might also start noticing the word in newspapers or advertisements.

At the B2 level, you can use 'कैब' in discussions about broader topics like urban infrastructure, the gig economy, or environmental impacts. You can debate the pros and cons of app-based cab services versus traditional public transport. You might use phrases like 'कैब सेवाओं का विस्तार' (The expansion of cab services) or 'कैब चालकों की समस्याएँ' (Problems of cab drivers). Your grammar should be precise, correctly handling plural forms and complex sentence structures. You can understand nuanced conversations where 'कैब' might be used metaphorically or as part of a larger socio-economic discussion. You are now a fluent user of the word in both casual and semi-formal contexts.

At the C1 level, you have a deep understanding of the word's place in the linguistic landscape. You can identify regional variations in how the word is used and its socio-linguistic implications. You might analyze how the word 'कैब' reflects the westernization of urban Hindi or its impact on traditional taxi unions. You can use the word in sophisticated writing, perhaps in an essay about urban planning or a short story set in a modern city. You are aware of the subtle differences in register between 'कैब', 'टैक्सी', and 'सवारी' and can choose the most appropriate term for stylistic effect. Your use of 'कैब' is indistinguishable from that of a native speaker.

At the C2 level, you possess a masterly command of the word and its nuances. You can use it in highly specialized contexts, such as legal or economic discussions regarding transport regulations. You can appreciate and use the word in wordplay, puns, or complex literary metaphors. You understand the complete history of how 'कैब' entered the Hindi language and its relationship with other loanwords. You can switch between different registers and dialects effortlessly, using 'कैब' in a way that perfectly fits the cultural and situational context.

연습하기 예시 노트와 팁

कैप 30초 만에

  • Modern Hindi loanword for taxi.
  • Used mainly for app-based services.
  • Grammatically feminine (like 'gaadi').
  • Essential for urban travel and communication.

The word कैब (Cab), often transliterated or sometimes colloquially referred to in urban Hindi contexts, is a direct loanword from English. While the traditional Hindi word for a taxi is टैक्सी (Taxi), the rise of app-based ride-sharing services like Uber and Ola has cemented 'Cab' as a staple in the modern Indian vocabulary. When you are in a city like Delhi, Mumbai, or Bangalore, you are far more likely to hear someone say "कैब बुक करो" (Book a cab) than using more formal or traditional terms. It represents not just a vehicle, but a specific lifestyle of urban mobility and convenience. In the CEFR A2 level, understanding this word is crucial because it bridges the gap between classroom Hindi and the functional, everyday Hindi spoken on the streets and in corporate environments. The word is treated as a feminine noun in many contexts (e.g., 'कैब आ गई' - the cab has arrived), though some speakers treat it as masculine depending on regional influence. However, in standard urban Hindi, it follows the gender of 'गाड़ी' (car), which is feminine.

Urban Context
In metropolitan areas, 'कैब' specifically refers to app-based services, whereas 'टैक्सी' might still evoke the image of the traditional black-and-yellow (kaali-peeli) cars.

मैंने ऑफिस जाने के लिए एक कैब बुलाई है। (I have called a cab to go to the office.)

Understanding the nuances of transport vocabulary is a gateway to navigating Indian cities. When you use the word 'कैब', you are signaling that you are looking for a private hire vehicle, distinct from public buses or auto-rickshaws. It is a word of the digital age in India, synonymous with GPS tracking, air conditioning, and digital payments. For a learner, mastering this word involves knowing how to pair it with verbs like 'बुक करना' (to book), 'इंतज़ार करना' (to wait), and 'कैंसल करना' (to cancel). As you progress from A2 to higher levels, you will notice that 'कैब' is used in professional settings, social gatherings, and travel planning, making it one of the most high-frequency nouns in contemporary Hindi.

Using 'कैब' in a sentence is relatively straightforward because it follows the standard Hindi sentence structure (Subject-Object-Verb). However, the key is the auxiliary verbs and postpositions. For example, if you want to say 'in the cab', you use the postposition 'में' (mein), resulting in 'कैब में'. If you want to say 'by cab', you use 'से' (se), as in 'कैब से'. Because 'कैब' is a loanword, it doesn't change its form much in the oblique case, unlike native Hindi nouns that might end in 'a'. This makes it very learner-friendly. Whether you are a beginner or an intermediate speaker, you can rely on this word to communicate your transport needs clearly without worrying about complex declensions.

Booking a Ride
क्या आप मेरे लिए एक कैब बुक कर सकते हैं? (Can you book a cab for me?)

अभी कैब मिलने में बहुत समय लगेगा। (It will take a lot of time to get a cab right now.)

In conversation, you will often find 'कैब' paired with adjectives like 'महंगी' (expensive) or 'सस्ती' (cheap). For example, 'उबर की कैब आज बहुत महंगी है' (Uber's cab is very expensive today). This demonstrates the word's flexibility. It can also be used in the plural form 'कैबें' (cabs), although many speakers simply use the English plural 'कैब्स' or keep it as 'कैब' and let the context or the verb indicate plurality. Mastery of this word also involves understanding the cultural etiquette of 'कैब' culture in India—knowing when to share the OTP (One Time Password) with the driver and how to give directions. Phrases like 'कैब यहाँ रोकिए' (Stop the cab here) or 'कैब थोड़ा आगे लीजिए' (Take the cab a little further) are essential for any traveler.

You will hear 'कैब' in almost every urban setting in India. From the bustling arrival halls of Indira Gandhi International Airport to the corporate corridors of Cyber City, Gurgaon, the word is ubiquitous. It has largely replaced 'टैक्सी' in the vocabulary of the younger generation and the middle class. If you are watching modern Bollywood movies or web series set in cities like Mumbai or Delhi, characters will almost exclusively use 'कैब' when discussing their commute. It's also a staple in the hospitality industry; hotel receptionists will ask, "क्या आपको कैब चाहिए?" (Do you need a cab?).

Public Places
At malls, airports, and railway stations, you will see signs for 'Cab Stand' or hear announcements regarding 'App-based Cabs'.

स्टेशन के बाहर बहुत सारी कैब खड़ी हैं। (Many cabs are standing outside the station.)

Furthermore, social media and news reports frequently use this term when discussing traffic, fuel prices, or the gig economy. You might hear a news anchor say, "कैब चालकों की हड़ताल" (Strike by cab drivers). In social settings, friends might ask, "तुम कैब से आओगे या अपनी गाड़ी से?" (Will you come by cab or by your own car?). This contrast highlights how 'कैब' is categorized as a service rather than a personal possession. Hearing this word also involves recognizing its variations in different Indian accents; while the 'c' and 'b' sounds are standard, the vowel sound might shift slightly depending on the speaker's native regional language.

One of the most common mistakes for English speakers learning Hindi is assuming the gender of 'कैब'. Since English doesn't assign gender to inanimate objects, learners often default to masculine. However, in Hindi, 'कैब' is predominantly feminine because it is synonymous with 'गाड़ी' (car). Saying "कैब आ गया" is technically incorrect in most urban dialects; it should be "कैब आ गई". Another mistake is confusing the spelling/pronunciation with 'कैप' (Cap/Hat). While they sound similar, the 'b' sound in 'Cab' (कैब) and the 'p' sound in 'Cap' (कैप) are distinct in Hindi and changing them changes the meaning entirely. You wouldn't want to tell a driver you are waiting for a 'hat' when you mean a 'taxi'!

Pronunciation Trap
Avoid pronouncing the 'b' too softly. In Hindi, the 'b' (ब) is a voiced bilabial plosive, which is quite strong.

गलत: वह कैप में है। (Wrong: He is in the cap.)
सही: वह कैब में है। (Right: He is in the cab.)

Additionally, learners sometimes over-translate. Instead of saying 'कैब बुक करना', they might try to find a 'pure' Hindi word for 'book', which can sound unnatural in a modern context. In urban Hindi, using the English verb 'book' with the Hindi helper 'karna' is the standard way to express the action. Lastly, don't forget the postpositions. Saying 'कैब जाओ' (Go cab) is incorrect; you must say 'कैब से जाओ' (Go by cab). These small grammatical markers are what differentiate a beginner from a proficient speaker. Pay attention to these nuances to ensure your Hindi sounds natural and fluid.

While 'कैब' is common, it's part of a wider family of transport terms. The most direct alternative is 'टैक्सी' (Taxi). For many years, this was the only word used. Today, 'टैक्सी' is often associated with the older, non-app-based vehicles. Another related word is 'ऑटो' (Auto), referring to the three-wheeled auto-rickshaws. While a 'कैब' is a four-wheeled car, an 'ऑटो' is a different category of hire. Then there is 'गाड़ी' (Gaadi), which is a generic term for any vehicle or car. If someone says "मेरी गाड़ी आ गई", they could mean their private car or their booked cab, depending on the context.

Comparison: कैब vs. ऑटो
A 'कैब' is usually air-conditioned and more expensive, while an 'ऑटो' is open-air and cheaper for short distances.

अगर कैब नहीं मिली, तो मैं ऑटो से चला जाऊँगा। (If I don't get a cab, I will go by auto.)

In more formal or literary contexts, you might encounter 'वाहन' (Vaahan), which means vehicle, but you would never use this when trying to catch a ride. Similarly, 'सवारी' (Sawaari) can mean a ride or a passenger. For example, a driver might say "सवारी तैयार है" (The passenger/ride is ready). Understanding these alternatives helps you choose the right word for the right situation. In a high-end mall, 'कैब' is appropriate; at a local village market, 'टैक्सी' or 'गाड़ी' might be more common. By learning these synonyms and their registers, you enrich your vocabulary and your ability to adapt to different social environments in India.

자주 묻는 질문

10 질문

In modern Hindi, 'Cab' (कैब) usually refers to app-based services like Uber or Ola. 'Taxi' (टैक्सी) is a more general and traditional term. Both are understood, but 'Cab' is more common among younger city-dwellers.

It is generally treated as feminine because it is a synonym for 'Gaadi' (car), which is feminine. Example: 'Cab aa gayi' (The cab has arrived).

You say 'Cab book karo' (कैब बुक करो) for an order, or 'Maine cab book ki hai' (मैंने कैब बुक की है) for 'I have booked a cab'.

It might not be understood in remote villages. In those areas, 'Gaadi' or 'Taxi' are safer bets.

The formal plural is 'Caben' (कैबें), but in casual speech, people often use the English plural 'Cabs' or simply 'Cab'.

Ask 'Kiraya kitna hai?' (किराया कितना है?).

It is 'Kaib' (कैब). 'Kaip' (कैप) means a hat or a cap.

Say 'Bhaiya, yahan rokiye' (Brother, stop here).

You can say 'Ek cab bulao' (Call a cab) or just 'Cab bulao' (Call cab). Both are fine.

It is called 'Share Cab' (शेयर कैब) or 'Sharing wali cab'.
