Question 1 of 6
Your colleague asks how you are. Which reply sounds most natural?
'Not too bad, thanks' is a natural, relaxed British response. 'I am fine, thank you, and you?' sounds overly formal and textbook.
'Not too bad' ek bahut common British response hai. 'I am fine, thank you' school mein sikhaya jata hai lekin real conversation mein thoda formal lagta hai।
Question 2 of 6
You didn't hear what someone said. What do you say?
'Pardon?' is the polite British way to ask someone to repeat themselves. 'What?' is considered rude in professional settings.
'Pardon?' kehna polite hota hai jab aapko koi baat sunai na de. 'What?' kehna British culture mein rude maana jata hai, especially workplace mein।
Question 3 of 6
You want to politely interrupt someone in a meeting. You say:
'Sorry to jump in' is the standard polite phrase to interrupt without being rude in British professional settings.
'Sorry to jump in' — yeh phrase meeting mein baat karne ka sabse polite tarika hai. Isse aap interruption ko acknowledge karte hain bina rude lage।
Question 4 of 6
Your manager thanks you for finishing a report early. You reply:
'Not at all, happy to help' is warm and professional. 'It is nothing' sounds dismissive and 'No problem' can imply there might have been a problem.
'Not at all, happy to help' — yeh response professional bhi hai aur warm bhi. 'No problem' actually ek negative word 'problem' use karta hai, jo thoda odd lagta hai।
Question 5 of 6
You're not sure about a deadline. Which is the most professional way to say so?
Saying 'let me check and get back to you' shows responsibility and professionalism, rather than just saying 'I don't know'.
'Let me check and get back to you' — yeh phrase dikhata hai ki aap responsible hain. Sirf 'I don't know' kehna unprofessional lagta hai, especially workplace mein।
Question 6 of 6
A colleague is leaving the office for the day. You say:
'Have a good one' is a natural, friendly British farewell. 'Bye bye' sounds childish and 'goodbye forever' is dramatic.
'Have a good one' — yeh ek bahut common aur friendly British farewell hai. 'Bye bye' thoda childish lagta hai professional setting mein।
