OK. I've trudged through the 100 most common Hindi words and incorporated suggestions and corrections. Now, I've posted the changes to the online list. Have a look: most commonly used Hindi words. If you would like to help me develop it, please let me know. The list comes from the Hindi Google Group, and I am modifying it to fit my aims. Good luck, and have fun.
Hey, thanks for posting this. Maybe this will spur me to finally learning a bit of Hindi. Heads up, the download links don't seem to work.
D'oh, thanks for noticing, Larry. I left out a single character in the URL for the download links... always the mundane details.
Good luck with learning, or perhaps: good luck with getting motivated to learn, which is the hardest step, I think. You might want to check out what Nathan, et al, are doing over at ISpeakHindi.com. They have a pretty good site over there. At least they have some folks that know Hindi, instead of someone like me that is just one step above totally ignorant.
