Hi there, this is Sanjay and I welcome you all to this English Learning YouTube channel, English Everyday.

Today's session is going to be really very special for you

because in this session we are going to talk about Indian English at work.

So many of you people are still facing the issues like when you deal with the Indian colleagues, you face the issue.

Sometimes they speak faster, sometimes you listen to some different kind of phrases.

In this video I am going to cover each and every element.

So after watching this video you are going to be the perfect person to deal with an Indian guy.

Indian guy.

Have you ever heard that the Indian people would say, please wait for 2 minutes and you have to wait for 20 minutes.

So this is something like the cultural English.

So what happens, how Indian people react, everything we are going to cover in this video.

So stay tuned and let me begin with the class now.

And here we will be talking about the decoding Indian English here to work.

How when you deal with the Indian people while you work, you are hiring manageries from India or many situations, you have a con call, you have an interview and there are many other situations where Indian people,

you deal with the Indian guy and you face the issue.

So this is actually the solution for the video.

So here let's go and we begin with this session.

So start with the basic greeting.

I mean what happens when you deal with the Indian guy and you go with the greeting sentences.

So you say like how are you?

The Indian people would say.

How they say?

They say like everything is fine, all okay.

So everything is fine, all okay.

This is the Indian version of how are you?

So when somebody asks Indian people like, how are you?

Generally it happens like in overseas people would start talking about the detailed answer like, yes, it's really nice, I'm doing well, my family is fine.

But in India they say everything is fine, all okay.

The way they ask the question is, everything is fine?

This is in the form of question.

I mean, the facial expression becomes like that, all okay.

It means, is everything okay?

So it so happens.

So generally people respond like, yes, everything is fine.

Yes, all okay.

You don't need to go like I'm straight out.

I'm having a burden of work and I need to go with a different kind of situation.

So it so happens.

It is just because the cultural activity in India, Indian English is more likely to be the cultural English where Indian people, they follow certain culture.

It doesn't mean Indian English is wrong, but yes, Indian English is somewhat different than the other languages we have.

Let's go for the next slide and how it goes we understand like.

The first of all we talk about the shortened professional titles.

So what happens in India, people generally they have abbreviations like a short form of the things like MD, managing director, they have HOD,

head of department, VP, voice president.

Sometimes you might have heard the word like in charge which doesn't have any kind of title.

I mean in charge is the one who is the person who is looking after something for a certain period of time.

You can say like Mr. Ritesh is the in charge for this AI project

which is going to finish by 20th of May

which means Mr. Rakesh or Mr. Ritesh is for a certain period of time.

He is only working and this is the title for the in charge.

Here it is.

The person currently responsible for a task or a department not a formal title but carries real authority.

So it so happens in India, like people, they create in charge.

Sometimes Mr. Rakesh is in charge.

Sometimes you find the other person gets the charge for the in charge.

So in charge is like a person who has been given the authority to deal with a certain kind of project.

So this is something like the abbreviation.

You may find like a HOD, they say MD, VP.

Along with this, you find some of the words like a colony.

You know, what is colony?

Colony is a residential place, like a couple of families are living together and they have given a certain name called colony.

So if sometimes an Indian person says, I live in that colony.

So colony meaning group of houses, group of families that are living together.

Plots were sold to those people and they are living together.

So this is like a residential neighborhood or housing complex.

I live in sector 5 colony.

So sector 5 colony is perfectly normal, professional, small town.

So you don't need to get confused.

This is like an Indian term.

Maybe it is not very...

Now, the next word is passing out.

I mean, I just feel like laughing.

People would say, I am passing out.

So pass out means to fend, to die.

So next time when Indian person says, I am passing out.

So it doesn't mean like he has been fend, it means he has been graduated.

So in India, when people get graduated, they say, I passed out.

I passed out my college degree I passed out my

so passed out means they have done certain educated education you know development

so that we call like a passed out

so what is the tip for you

when it is doubt let context define the title ask I mean

when you find like a in charge you you somebody says Mr. Rakesh

or Mr. Rahul is the in charge so you may go

and ask the proper title you can ask like oh he's the in charge right now

but what exactly his profile is

so you may find like the person is a project coordinator

or he's like a managing director

or maybe he is a project manager product manager any title it

but by the time the person is like an in charge

and this is what you need to understand let's now go

for the next one like a wait wait wait wait wait wait wait what does it mean wait

so sometimes you find people would say the words two times.

Wait, wait, go, go, go.

Or sometimes they say, like here we have three different situations.

Wait, wait.

So wait, wait, it doesn't mean like you have to wait.

It means stop immediately.

Do not proceed.

100

This is urgent.

101

I mean, you find Indian person, he says to you, please, wait, wait, wait.

102

It means something that is very urgent.

103

You need to stop doing that and now focus on another thing.

104

And this is why they pronounce the word two times.

105

Wait, wait.

106

So this is something like a telltale.

107

So speak, please speak now.

108

I am completely ready to hear what you want to say. So telltale.

109

I mean the people say telltale.

110

It means they're very keen to hear.

111

They're very excited to hear.

112

They're giving their hundred percent and this is why they say like a telltale.

113

The next word we have is a go-go.

114

So like go-go.

115

I mean in Indian movies there is a villain called go-go but here it doesn't mean like that.

116

It's go, go.

117

So please leave or proceed quickly, not to waste the time.

118

So when somebody says like, go, go, generally in English, we say once like, please go ahead and do that.

119

But say, go, go.

120

It means it's really super urgent.

121

Go ahead and finish this.

122

So this is like a kind of phrases Indian people say, and you must know the logic for this one.

123

So what can be the golden hack for you people?

124

Here it is written, repetition, like a high priority.

125

The moment you hear a double verb, double verb, listen this, treat it as like an urgent action signal, not a slutter or a mislead.

126

So next time when you listen to like a go, go, wait, wait.

127

So it is like something which is urgent basis you need to start working on.

128

Okay.

129

So that's something I have taken out for you.

130

Now the negative question and the positive answer.

131

Now this is really very interesting.

132

What happens?

133

I mean an Indian guy, he doesn't finish the project over the time and the person asks like, finish the project?

134

They don't say like, did you finish the project or have you finished the project?

135

They generally ask like this.

136

The expression should be the questions.

137

They say, finish the project?

138

And you say, yes, I did not finish the project.

139

The original grammar is, no, I did not finish it.

140

But Indian people say, yes, I did not finish it.

141

So this is like a change in the grammatical portion.

142

Why it happens in many Indian colleagues, yes means what you said is correct.

143

I mean, they're asking the questions.

144

For example, if I ask you the question, have you finished your lunch?

145

And if you haven't finished, you would say, no, I haven't finished it yet.

146

But Indian people would say, yes, I did not finish it.

147

They don't say, no, no, I did not finish it.

148

They say, yes, I did not finish it.

149

So this is a logical thing.

150

I mean, it happens because Indian people, they want to say that what you are saying is correct getting my point?

151

are you getting it? if you are getting it please write down in the comment yes you understood this

152

ok so now here we have it's a very small line

153

and this is what the example we have given here

154

so you don't need to worry about it like

155

when somebody sometimes you listen to Indian people they say yes I did not

156

you know finish the project yet or yes I did not send an email to

157

that person it means it is not like a negative

158

or they are making grammatical mistake it is a cultural thing where Indian people they want to confirm that yes, what you are saying is correct.

159

Now, let's we talk about the soften command.

160

In India, it is not like they directly say like, go and do that.

161

I want that.

162

Finish it.

163

They want to be more polite.

164

And this is the culture of India.

165

Indian culture says we need to be polite.

166

You know that like in India, people, they just bow down their hands and they say Namaskar.

167

So why they?

168

Because India is a country where people are really very polite and the politeness makes India become much greater places.

169

So here we say, sometimes you hear like, I was thinking that maybe we could.

170

Or a small suggestion, perhaps you should.

171

It might be good at.

172

So what exactly it means, it means please do this.

173

This is a direct instruction.

174

So, I mean, there is no direct instructions.

175

They like do that.

176

They say in a different way, in a polite way.

177

Here we have the three sentences.

178

Let me repeat one more time if you are not able to see that.

179

I was thinking that maybe we could change this or maybe small suggestion.

180

Perhaps you should change this one or they can say it might be good if you use Java instead of using Python.

181

So it means they are giving direct instruction to change that in a polite way.

182

So in India, I mean insulting direct communication can be aggressive.

183

I mean if they say direct something, so it's like in the form of aggression and they don't want that.

184

This is why what they do, they generally make it soften.

185

So what can be the strategy?

186

You know, treat, I was thinking as a polite rapper, sound a film instruction.

187

Now confirm your understanding.

188

If in case you don't understand that, you may go ahead and ask again like, Oh, what do you want to say?

189

Should I go ahead or not?

190

So this is something you have to understand.

191

Now let's go for the next slide.

192

And understanding the Indian time phrase.

193

This is really very important.

194

And that actually happens in India.

195

What happens?

196

In India, if you listen like just 5 minutes, just 5 minutes, it doesn't mean 5 minutes.

197

It's more than 25 minutes.

198

Could you really realistically mean 30 to 20 minutes, a polite way of saying I will be there soon.

199

So when you say I will be there soon, like the person is at home and you say, Oh, Rohan, when will you reach to the office?

200

And Rohan would say, just 5 minutes.

201

it means he has started working now.

202

He has started from his house.

203

So it will take more than 30 minutes but the person would say just 5 minutes.

204

So next time when you say 2 minutes, 2 seconds, 5 minutes it means it is going to take a long time.

205

Now the next V is reaching in 2 minutes.

206

This is also very common.

207

People would say reaching in 2 minutes.

208

So I have just left my house.

209

Actual time arrival unknown.

210

Nobody knows when the person is going to come but here he says just two minutes.

211

Have you finished, Rohan, have you emailed that file to Mr. George?

212

Just two minutes.

213

So it doesn't mean like it will take one hour, two hour, 25 minutes, 30 minutes, but the person would say just two minutes.

214

All right.

215

So the next one is by EOD.

216

EOD means end of the day.

217

Here it says usually means the very last minute of the working day or sometimes the next day morning.

218

So in the morning meeting, generally people would say, I want this project or this assignment to be finished by EOD.

219

That's end of the day or the last moment before you leave the office.

220

So EOD is really very common.

221

You may find it in the messages, in the emails or even in the verbal communication.

222

So that is something.

223

And how it means, I mean, how you have to take, This is not dishonesty, it reflects as optimism.

224

I mean the person is optimistic.

225

He doesn't want to make you feel that he is taking time or he is getting late.

226

It is not like he is dishonest or he is saying wrong thing.

227

It is a culture in India.

228

In India it happens.

229

It happened only in India.

230

There is a song like that.

231

Okay, now let's go and we talk about the ABC enumeration habit.

232

So this is again a very common habit in India.

233

they have a sequential talk when they are going to describe about something.

234

Like when you ask, Rohan, how was the day?

235

And please give me the report for the project you have done.

236

Then he would say, first, I would like to say that I talked to Mr. Kevin

237

and he has given me the deadline and I have to finish it by today.

238

Second, I had a meeting with the manager from so-and-so company

239

and he said that they are going to dispatch our product maybe by the 20th of May.

240

And the last point, so first, second and last, this is how they go.

241

Indian love structuring spoken communication with explicit numbering.

242

First point is, second point is, the last point, the habit comes from a strong tradition of structured,

243

academic and formal communication whereby clarity of sequence is valued above all.

244

So how it help you?

245

What you have to do?

246

Use the markers as note-taking clues.

247

Along with this, focus always on the last point.

248

Because the last point is the main point you are going to listen.

249

The remaining two points are just only the sequential, the structured guide they are going to describe.

250

So, I mean, you can organize accordingly.

251

And now we are moving towards the last slide.

252

Now, this is again very important.

253

Actually, basically, oh, I am talking about the Indian English.

254

In India, people say actually, basically.

255

So in every, I mean most of the time people would say, have you finished your project?

256

Actually I have, basically I want to say actually, so actually and basically.

257

These are the two situations, like two of the most frequently used words in Indian professional English and two of the least meaningful.

258

So they don't have any meaning, they only want to say actually and basically.

259

So I got a joke in my brain.

260

what happens like since I live in a village

261

and in my village there is a boy his name is Rahul he went to Mumbai, Mumbai is one of the biggest cities in India

262

so he went there for the job

263

and he did a job there for maybe one year

264

and after that he came back to the village

265

and we met with Rahul so Rahul we started asking like Rahul how was your experience

266

and Rahul started saying like blah blah blah actually blah blah blah blah actually blah blah blah

267

so what happened you know we have nominated him like actually now his name is actually who is Rahul?

268

Rahul is actually

269

so Rahul's name has been changed into actually this much of

270

frequency the intensity of actually the word has been used in India so actually

271

and basically these are the two words people use actually the

272

report is ready basically what I want to say is or actually so actually, actually, basically the issue is the timeline.

273

Right?

274

So what you have to do?

275

You have to ignore basically and actually and listen to the main content.

276

You don't need to focus on that one.

277

Just focus on the main material that has been delivered.

278

So that is the one.

279

Now, the final formula for the success is be patient.

280

Sometimes you may feel like, oh, how to do, what to do.

281

So you have to feel patient.

282

And if you are If you are impatient sometimes, you can message me on my channel.

283

I am always ready to help you because I am the person in India.

284

I am the only person in India who can guide you for the bodh accent, whether it is American accent or Indian accent.

285

I know all the sound, all the kind of strategies that Indian people use, the jaw line, the different sounds, the T sound, B sound,

286

P sound, strong sound, retroflex sound.

287

So every sound I have studied and I have created the, even though now I have created the course even.

288

So the course is also available if you want.

289

You want to get the course.

290

So the course is for the 10 lectures.

291

You can, you know, get it.

292

Here we have like a, I will guide you.

293

You can message me.

294

You can write down in the comment.

295

I will give you the link and you can get into the course even.

296

So decoding is not like clarity of time.

297

So next time, like when person say, I'm coming in 5 minutes, 20 minutes or just now.

298

So you can ask for the clock time.

299

You can say, could you please tell me the clock time like a 2 p.m., 3 p.m

300

so maybe that will work and you will be on the time

301

and you will be able to finish the work over the time

302

so this is what you can do

303

and since i as i said like indian english is not

304

a wrong english it is like a traditional thing the cultural activity

305

if you come back to india i mean if you come to india

306

if you live here

307

if you live with the indian people you would really feel

308

very happy people are really very polite we respect all the you know kind of things

309

but yes since we are born and brought up in such kind of situations where the academic sequences, the kind of teachers we had,

310

the kind of upbringing we had, this is why we are.

311

So don't take it so seriously, but just you can just go out.

312

I mean, you have to try and understand what we try to say.

313

And as I'm here for you to help you out, I will be definitely guiding you with more words, more vocabulary, more kind of concepts, finding it out, writing it down,

314

and describing you in the form of presentation as I have done today.

315

Alright, so that's all and I hope you have liked the video and if you really liked, so please write down the comment.

316

No people now, people don't write down the comment and you know that actually make me feel demoralized.

317

I want to be motivated and this is what I want your comment.

318

So if you are watching this video until end and if you really liked it, if you really like my communication the way I have described you, the difference between Indian English and American English,

319

so please write down the comment and say your experience.

320

So thank you so much for giving your time.

321

I will see you in the next video and have a happy time.
