फ़्री डिलीवरी है

You can use this phrase as a statement or a question. To make it a question, just raise your pitch at the end: फ़्री डिलीवरी है? (Is delivery free?). You don't need to change the words based on gender or number. It stays exactly the same whether you are talking about one pizza or ten shirts. It's the ultimate 'plug and play' sentence for your daily life.

Use it when you are browsing online shopping apps with friends. Use it at a local restaurant when asking about home delivery. It’s perfect for texting a group chat when you find a great deal. If you are a business owner, saying this to a customer will likely close the sale immediately. It’s a great icebreaker when discussing plans to order dinner.

Don't use this in extremely formal government settings where pure Hindi might be expected. However, even there, people will understand you. Avoid using it for services that aren't 'deliveries,' like a plumber coming to fix a sink. That would be a 'visit,' not a delivery. Also, don't say it if you aren't 100% sure, or your friends will be very grumpy when the bill arrives!

India has seen a massive e-commerce and food delivery revolution. Apps like Zomato, Swiggy, and Amazon are part of daily life now. Because of this, 'Hinglish' (Hindi + English) has become the standard way to talk about technology. The concept of 'free' is a huge motivator in Indian consumer culture. There is even a famous Hindi word मुफ़्त (muft) for free, but फ़्री sounds more modern and casual today.

You might hear डिलीवरी फ़्री है (Delivery is free), which just flips the word order. Some people might say डिलीवरी के पैसे नहीं हैं (There are no charges for delivery). In very casual slang, you might just hear डिलीवरी फ़्री? as a quick check. If you want to be extra polite in a shop, you could ask क्या फ़्री डिलीवरी मिलेगी? (Will I get free delivery?).
