How to Say "More" in Hindi - How To Say Guide

और

aur/ɔːɾ/

The English word 'more' is translated into Hindi as और (aur).

When used as a quantifier to mean 'more', और typically precedes the noun it modifies, such as और वक़्त (more time).

Which one should you use?

The word और is ambiguous because it can mean both 'more' and 'and' depending on the context of the sentence.

While और means 'more' in many contexts, its Sanskrit ancestor apar specifically meant 'other' or 'different', which is why the word can sometimes imply 'another' instead of just 'additional'.
Because और functions as both 'and' and 'more', Hindi speakers often use rhythmic pauses to ensure the listener knows whether they are adding a new item or requesting an additional amount.
Adding the word और to the end of a request can subtly turn a demand into a more polite or tentative inquiry.
