To look, to sound, to taste, to seem, to smell and to feel, in Hindi these verbs have only one meaning which is "laganaa (लगना)"

Can I taste your dhal? It looks really delicious!
Kya main aapki dhal chakh sakata hoon? yeh/yah bahut swadisht lagti hai!  (Dhal is feminine in Hindi.)

This tastes so good.
Yeh bahut acha lagtaa/lagti hai/hain (Suffixes lagtaa/lagti depend on gender of thing and object. lagtaa is used with masculine singular nouns and lagti with feminine nouns. )

I made a few mistakes in my life.
Mainne apni zindagi mein kam galtiyaan ki (zindagi is feminine in Hindi and Verb to make has more than one meaning. in this sentence  it means galati karnaa (we say to do mistake instead of to make mistake)

Everything will be okay tomorrow.
Kal sab kuch theek hogaa.

What is the word for “funny”?
“Funny” ke lie kya shaabd hain?

That is usually right, but sometimes it is wrong.
yeh zyaadatarr sahi hotaa hain, lekin  kabhee kabhee yeh galat bhi hotaa hain. (in Hindi, we use hotaa hai/hoti hai if an event happens quite frequently, or example, I am usually in the office at 9am = main subah nau baje daftar me hotaa/hoti hoon. )

I can’t wait for you to come to Canada!
Main aapke Canada aane ka intazaar nahi kar sakataa hoon. (The verb to wait for means "ka intazaar karnaa" and the direct object of verb intazaar karnaa takes ka in Hindi sentence. for example, I am waiting for the bus = Main bus ka intazaar kar raha hoon.

Can I taste your dhal? It looks really delicious!

Kya main aapka aapki dhal daal chak chakh sakhta sakta hoon? Vo bahut swadisht lagta lagti hain!

(I would rather use 'swadisht lag rahi hai' which is the continuous tense instead of 'swadisht lagti hai' -- basically, it is looking good. It just makes the sentence more in the present.

This tastes so good.
Yeh bahut acha chakta hain -- You can say, "Yeh bahut accha lagta hai" but that would mean, "It looks/appears good". Lagna means 'to look/appear'. For example, "You are looking good" (Tum acche lag rahe ho). You can simply say, "Yeh bahut accha hai" (This is very good) or "Yeh bahut swaadisht hai" (It is very tasty), or "Yeh chakhne me bahut accha hai" (In tasting, this is very good) or "Yeh swaad mein bahut accha hai" (In taste, this is very good).

If you want to emphasize by saying 'so good', then the Hindi equivalent would be 'kitna', for example: "Yeh swaad me kitna accha hai"

I made a few mistakes in my life.
Mainne aapna apni zindagi mein kam galti galtiyaan bana ki (Galti goes with karna)

If you want to highlight the fact that you made very few mistakes in your life, I'd say: "Maine apni zindagi mein bahut kam galtiyaan ki"

(Bahut kam = very few) This sentence then sounds much more effective than the previous one.


Everything will be okay tomorrow.
Sab kuch kal theek honge hoga (Sab kuch always goes with singular, because it's every single thing).

Better: "Kal sab kuch theek hoga". By putting kal in the beginning, you stress on it more. So you essentially say, "Tomorrow, everything will be okay". If you use "Sab kuch kal theek hoga", it conveys a sense that everything will be fine only tomorrow, and not before tomorrow.

What is the word for “funny”?
“Funny” ke lie kya shaabd shabd hain hai?


That is usually right, but sometimes it is wrong.
Us Vah zada daar zyaadatar saach hain, lekin vo kabhee kabhee galat hota hain.

(We use 'Vah' because it is the word for 'That' especially when it is a simple subject case. 'hota hai' is used to express repeated occurence. If something remains true all the time and changes occasionally, we would say, "Vah zyaadatar sach hai (because it does not change much. It remains same), par kabhi kabhi galat hota hai).

I can’t wait for you to come to Canada!
Main naheen intezar kar sakhta hoon aapke lie Canada ko aana! (Mai aapke Canada aane ka intezaar nahi kar sakta!)
