ટિકિટ, પ્લેટફોર્મ અને સમય
Ticket talk is three questions: એક ટિકિટ આપો · ટ્રેન કયા પ્લેટફોર્મથી નીકળે છે? · તે કેટલા વાગ્યે નીકળે છે? Times are said with વાગ્યે, and the fraction comes before the hour: સવા નવ (9:15), સાડા નવ (9:30), પોણા દસ (9:45).
| Word | Say it | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| ટિકિટ | tikit | ticket |
| પ્લેટફોર્મ | platform | platform |
| નીકળવું | neekalvu | to depart |
| સવા | savaa | quarter past (in time-telling) |
| પોણા | ponaa | quarter to (in time-telling) |
A ticket request is આપો, not a question: એક ટિકિટ આપો. Leaving is નીકળવું with the ablative -થી: પ્લેટફોર્મથી નીકળે છે. Time takes વાગ્યે, and સવા/સાડા/પોણા stands before the hour.

| ટ્રેન સવા નવ વાગ્યે નીકળે છે. | Tren savaa nav vaagye neekale chhe. | The train leaves at quarter past nine. |
- ટ્રેન નવ વાગ્યે નીકળે છે સવા. → ટ્રેન સવા નવ વાગ્યે નીકળે છે. The fraction precedes the hour: સવા નવ.
- મને ટિકિટ જોઈએ છે બે. → મને બે ટિકિટ જોઈએ છે. The number precedes the noun; the verb closes the sentence.
Dialogue. Read it aloud twice — once for each speaker.

દવાખાને: દુખે છે, દવા લો
A symptom is the body part plus દુખે છે: માથું દુખે છે, પેટ દુખે છે, ગળું દુખે છે. The advice comes back in the imperative: આ દવા લો, બે દિવસ આરામ કરો.
| Word | Say it | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| દુખવું | dukhvu | to hurt, to ache |
| દવા | dava | medicine |
| આરામ | aaram | rest |
| તપાસ | tapas | check-up, examination |
| ચિઠ્ઠી | chitthi | note, prescription |
The ache takes the body part as its subject — માથું દુખે છે, literally 'the head aches' — and the duration takes -થી: બે દિવસથી. The doctor replies with લો and કરો, and the frequency sits inside the sentence: દિવસમાં બે વાર.
માથું દુખે છે · બે દિવસથી તાવ છે · આ દવા દિવસમાં બે વાર લો · બે દિવસ આરામ કરો| Word | Say it | Meaning |

| માથું દુખે છે. | Maathu dukhe chhe. | I have a headache. |
| આ દવા દિવસમાં બે વાર લો. | Aa davaa divasmaa be vaar lo. | Take this medicine twice a day. |
| બે દિવસ આરામ કરો. | Be divas aaram karo. | Rest for two days. |
- મને માથું દુખે છે છે. → માથું દુખે છે. One verb is enough: દુખે છે already carries the ache.
- તમે આરામ કરો બે દિવસ. → તમે બે દિવસ આરામ કરો. A duration comes before the verb.
Dialogue. Read it aloud twice — once for each speaker.

કપડાં: સાઇઝ, રંગ, બદલવું
Clothes talk asks three things: આ સાઇઝ નાની છે · બીજો રંગ છે? · બદલી શકાય? The size adjective agrees with its noun — નાની સાઇઝ, નાનું કમીઝ — and the possibility of exchange is the passive-looking બદલી શકાય.
| Word | Say it | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| કપડાં | kapdaa | clothes |
| સાઇઝ | size | size |
| રંગ | rang | colour |
| બદલવું | badalvu | to change, to exchange |
| પરચૂરણ | parchooran | change (money), receipt |
The adjective agrees with the noun it describes: સાઇઝ is feminine (નાની), કમીઝ is neuter (નાનું). Exchange is expressed with શકાય: બદલી શકાય? — literally 'can it be exchanged?' — and the window is a plain time phrase: પંદર દિવસમાં.
આ સાઇઝ નાની છે · બીજો રંગ છે? · બદલી શકાય? · પંદર દિવસમાં| Word | Say it | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| આ સાઇઝ નાની છે. | Aa size naani chhe. | This size is small. |
| બીજો રંગ છે? | Beejo rang chhe? | Is there another colour? |
| બદલી શકાય? | Badli shakaay? | Can it be exchanged? |
- આ સાઇઝ નાનું છે. → આ સાઇઝ નાની છે. સાઇઝ is feminine, so the adjective is નાની.
- હું બદલવું છે. → મારે બદલવું છે. Need takes મારે + infinitive, never the bare હું.
Dialogue. Read it aloud twice — once for each speaker.
| Who | Line | Say it | English |
|---|---|---|---|
| માતા | આ કમીઝની સાઇઝ નાની છે. | Aa kameezni size naani chhe. | The size of this shirt is small. |
| ભાઈ | બીજી સાઇઝ છે, આ લો. | Beeji size chhe, aa lo. | There is another size, take this one. |
| માતા | રંગ બદલી શકાય? | Rang badli shakaay? | Can the colour be exchanged? |
| ભાઈ | હા, પરચૂરણ સાથે પંદર દિવસમાં. | Haa, parchooran saathe pandar divasmaa. | Yes, with the receipt, within fifteen days. |

Gujarati A2 beyond the drills — culture, reading, listening, idioms
These sections are written for Gujarati A2 specifically. The reading text is EkGuru's own; the culture note cites where its facts come from; the idioms and the mistakes list are the ones this level actually trips over.
Culture note
Gujarati households run on tea and the bargaining that goes with it: ચા is offered before business of any kind, and a refusal is softened with વાંધો નહીં. In the market the price is a starting point — સસ્તું (cheap) and મોંઘું (expensive) are opinions, and asking ઓછું કરો (make it less) is normal, not rude. The polite forms વધારે/ઓછું matter more here than in a supermarket.
Source (named, not linked): en.wikipedia.org, the article “Gujarati cuisine”.
Reading — read this aloud, slowly
આજે બજારમાં બહુ ભીડ હતી. મેં ટામેટાં અને બટાકા લીધા. દુકાનદારે કહ્યું, «એક કિલો ત્રીસ રૂપિયા». મેં કહ્યું, «ઓછું કરો». અંતે પચ્ચીસ રૂપિયામાં વાત થઈ. પછી હું દૂધ લેવા ગઈ. દૂધવાળો બોલ્યો, «કાલે દૂધ મોડું આવશે». મેં કહ્યું, «વાંધો નહીં».
What it says: Today the market was very crowded. I bought tomatoes and potatoes. The shopkeeper said, 'thirty rupees a kilo'. I said, 'make it less'. In the end we settled on twenty-five rupees. Then I went to buy milk. The milkman said, 'tomorrow the milk will come late'. I said, 'no problem'.
Listening — one voice, one text
Use the speaker button to hear this text with a browser voice tagged gu-IN; playback starts only after a click. If no matching voice is installed, read it aloud yourself — the rhythm is the point.
ગ્રાહક: આ કિલો કેટલાનું છે?<br>દુકાનદાર: પચાસ રૂપિયા.<br>ગ્રાહક: થોડું ઓછું કરો.<br>દુકાનદાર: ચાલો, પિસ્તાલીસ.
What it says: Customer: How much is a kilo of this? Shopkeeper: Fifty rupees. Customer: Make it a little less. Shopkeeper: All right, forty-five.
10 idioms and fixed phrases
| Idiom | Word for word | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| ઓછું કરો | make it less | bring the price down |
| વાત થઈ | the talk happened | we settled on a price |
| ભીડ | crowd | a crowd, a rush |
| મોડું આવવું | to come late | to be late |
| વાંધો નહીં | no objection | that is fine |
| એક કિલો | one kilo | one kilogram |
| ચાલો | let us go | all right, come on |
| દૂધ લેવા જવું | to go to take milk | to go for milk |
| પૈસા પાછા | money back | refund |
| કેટલાનું? | of how much? | how much does it cost? |
The 3 mistakes this level makes
- આ કિલો કેટલો છે? → આ કિલો કેટલાનું છે? A price is neuter: કેટલાનું.
- મેં બજાર ગયો. → હું બજાર ગયો. Intransitive જવું takes હું, not the ergative મેં.
- દૂધવાળો કાલે મોડું આવશે છે. → દૂધવાળો કાલે મોડું આવશે. The future is one word: આવશે.
Your task
Do a market round in Gujarati Write the six lines of a real market round: ask the price (કેટલાનું છે?), say it is expensive, ask for less, agree, ask for one more item, and close with thanks. Then write the same exchange where the shopkeeper says no and you accept it with વાંધો નહીં. The second version is the one that teaches the tone; keep both in your notebook under one heading.
After A2: the A2+ checkpoint
A2+ is not a certificate — it is the half-step between Gujarati A2 and the next level, and it is on this site’s ladder because language schools use it. You are at A2+ when you can keep a conversation going, tell a short story. Get there by working the recall drills above and the review deck until nothing on this page surprises you, then open the B1 pages.
