Tip of the day:

Try using Kuthe when asking for directions or locations, especially when traveling. If you're not sure where something is, simply ask: हे कुठे आहे? (He kuthe aahe?) – "Where is this?"

If you're looking to be more formal or polite, you can add the word कृपया (Kripaya – please) at the beginning to say:

• कृपया सांगा, हॉटेल कुठे आहे? (Kripaya sanga, hotel kuthe aahe?) – Please tell me, where is the hotel?
  This makes your inquiry more respectful, especially when asking strangers or elders.
