हावचेत

Warnings: these are to keep you safe and so you aren't telling children to get out of the road in the wrong language.


हावचेत

Be careful

देख


look


नीचौ वै


get down

ढबौ


stop


And that should be all but alas there is more...You see, there is a near minimal pair with the word "
ढबौ ". It is "डब्‍बौ", which means box. So listen carefully and practice well so that you don't end up telling your auto driver "box, box!" Unless your box of imported chocolates just flew out and you want to go back and get it, then it would probably need to be "stop, box!"
