Accessibility

1. ఈ స్థలం వీల్‌చైర్ కోసం అనుకూలంగా ఉందా?

   Ī sthalaṃ vīlcair kōsaṃ anukūlaṃgā undā?

   Is this place wheelchair accessible?

   Usage

   Ask staff at any venue whether wheelchair access is available

   Grammar Note

   Telugu yes/no questions are formed by adding "-ā" to the verb. "undi" (exists) + "-ā" → "undā" (is there?).

2. మీ దగ్గర లిఫ్ట్ ఉందా?

   Mī daggara lipṭ undā?

   Do you have an elevator / lift?

   Usage

   Ask hotel or building staff about lift availability

   Grammar Note

   "mī daggara" literally means "near you" and is the idiomatic Telugu construction for "you have" (possessive).

3. నాకు వికలాంగుల సౌకర్యాలు గల గది కావాలి.

   Nāku vikalāṃgula saukaryālu gala gadi kāvāli.

   I need a room with accessibility features.

   Usage

   Inform hotel reception at booking or check-in

   Grammar Note

   Telugu expresses necessity with dative "nāku" (to me) + "kāvāli" (is needed). The experiencer takes the dative case.

4. ఇక్కడ ర్యాంప్ లేదా మెట్లు లేని ప్రవేశద్వారం ఉందా?

   Ikkaḍa ryāṃp lēdā meṭlu lēni pravēśadvāraṃ undā?

   Is there a ramp or step-free entrance?

   Usage

   Grammar Note

   "lēni" is the negative verbal adjective from "lēdu" (not exist), modifying the noun. Relative clauses precede the noun in Telugu.

5. వికలాంగుల మరుగుదొడ్డి ఎక్కడ ఉంది?

   Vikalāṃgula marugudoḍḍi ekkaḍa undi?

   Usage

   Explain a visual impairment to a passerby or staff member and request help

   Grammar Note

   "cēyagalarā" = verb root "cēyu" (do) + potential "gala" (able to) + honorific plural "-ru" + question "-ā." A polite ability question.

7. మీ దగ్గర పెద్ద అక్షరాలతో మెనూ ఉందా?

   Āḍiyo gaiḍlu andubāṭulō unnāyā?
