Hotel

1. ఒక గది ఉందా?

   Oka gadi undā?

   Is there a room available?

   Usage

   Asking if a room is available

   Grammar Note

   "Unda" is the question form of "undi" (there is, neuter). The existential "undu" agrees with subject in gender and number.

2. ఒక రాత్రి ఎంత?

   Oka rātri enta?

   How much for one night?

   Usage

   Asking the rate per night

   Grammar Note

   "Raatri" from Sanskrit "rātri" (night). Much Telugu vocabulary is borrowed from Sanskrit, classified as "tatsama" (direct loans).

3. AC గది కావాలి

   AC gadi kāvāli

   I want an air-conditioned room

   Usage

   Requesting an air-conditioned room

   Grammar Note

   "Kaavali" expresses desire/need. Typical pattern: "naaku X kaavali" (I want X). Can stand alone as a complete utterance.

4. అల్పాహారం ఉంటుందా?

   Alpāhāram uṇṭundā?

   Is breakfast included?

   Usage

   Checking if breakfast is included in the hotel

   Grammar Note

   "Alpahaaram" = "alpa" (little, Sanskrit) + "aaharam" (food, Sanskrit). Compound formation with Sanskrit roots is common in Telugu.

5. రూమ్ సర్వీస్ ఉందా?

   Rūm sarvis undā?

   Is room service available?

   Usage

   Checking if room service is available

   Grammar Note

   Most Telugu hotel vocabulary is borrowed from English. "Unda" (is there?) is the standard question form for checking availability.

6. గది శుభ్రం చేయండి

   Gadi śubhram ceyaṇḍi

   Please clean the room

   Usage

   Requesting housekeeping to clean the room

   Grammar Note

   "Shubhram" from Sanskrit "shubhra" (bright/clean). "Shubhram cheyandi" (please clean) is the standard housekeeping request phrase.

7. టవల్ మరియు సోప్ తెండి

   Ṭaval mariyu sōp teṇḍi

   Please bring towels and soap

   Usage

   Requesting bathroom amenities

   Grammar Note

   "Mariyu" is the formal coordinating conjunction "and". In spoken Telugu, items are often simply listed or connected with "inka" (also/more).

8. ఇంటర్నెట్ పాస్‌వర్డ్ ఏమిటి?

   Inṭarneṭ pāswarḍ ēmiṭi?

   What is the internet password?

   Usage

   Asking for the hotel WiFi password

   Grammar Note

   "Eemiti" = "eemi" (what) + "-ti" (predicate suffix). English loanwords "internet" and "password" adapt to Telugu phonology with vowel-final forms.

9. లిఫ్ట్ ఎక్కడ ఉంది?

   Lipṭ ekkaḍa undi?

   Where is the lift / elevator?

   Usage

   Finding the elevator in a hotel

   Grammar Note

   In Indian English, "lift" is preferred over "elevator", and Telugu follows with "lift". "Undi" is the neuter existential verb (is/there is).

10. చెకౌట్ టైం ఎంత?

    Cekauṭ ṭaim enta?

    What is the checkout time?

    Usage

    Asking about checkout time

    Grammar Note

    Telugu borrows extensively from English for business/travel terms. Loanwords like "checkout" adapt to Telugu phonology by adding final vowels.

    ṭaval

12. దిండు

13. బ్లాంకెట్

    blāṅkeṭ
