Schedule & Booking

1. ਗੁਰਦੁਆਰਾ ਕਿੰਨੇ ਵਜੇ ਖੁੱਲ੍ਹਦਾ ਹੈ?

   Gurdwaara kinne vaje khulhdaa hai?

   What time does the gurdwara open?

   Usage

   Ask the opening time of a gurdwara

   Grammar Note

   The Golden Temple (Darbar Sahib) opens in the small hours and can be visited through the day, but the opening and closing times of the main hall change with the season, so check on site. The early morning Amrit Vela prayer (around 4 AM) is especially sacred.

2. ਵਾਹਗਾ ਬਾਰਡਰ ਸਮਾਰੋਹ ਕਿੰਨੇ ਵਜੇ ਸ਼ੁਰੂ ਹੁੰਦਾ ਹੈ?

   Waahagaa Baardar samaaroh kinne vaje shuroo hundaa hai?

   What time does the Wagah Border ceremony start?

   Usage

   Confirm the start time of the Wagah Border flag-lowering ceremony

   Grammar Note

   Wagah ceremony starts about 1 hour before sunset — around 6:30 PM in summer, 5:30 PM in winter. Free entry.

3. ਟ੍ਰੇਨ ਕਿੰਨੇ ਵਜੇ ਆਵੇਗੀ?

   Tren kinne vaje aavegee?

   What time will the train arrive?

   Usage

   Check the train arrival time at a railway station

   Grammar Note

   "Tren" is treated as feminine in Punjabi, hence "aavegee". Amritsar has direct trains to Delhi, Mumbai, and other major cities.

4. ਬੁਕਿੰਗ ਕਿਵੇਂ ਕਰੀਏ?

   Buking kivein karee-e?

   How do I make a reservation?

   Usage

   Ask how to make a reservation for a restaurant, hotel, or train

   Grammar Note

   "Karee-e" uses an inclusive "we" form — polite way to ask "how should one do something".

5. ਅੱਜ ਕੀ ਬੰਦ ਹੈ?

   Ajj ki band hai?

   What is closed today?

   Usage

   Check which places are closed on a public holiday or rest day

   Grammar Note

   "Band" from Persian meaning "closed/stopped". Its opposite "khullhaa" means "open".

6. ਟੂਰ ਗਾਈਡ ਕਿੱਥੇ ਮਿਲੇਗਾ?

   Toor gaaid kitthe milegaa?

   Where can I find a tour guide?

   Usage

   Arrange a tour guide at a tourist office or hotel

   Grammar Note

   Punjab Tourism office can arrange certified guides. Many English-speaking guides are available in Amritsar.

7. ਇਹ ਦੁਕਾਨ ਕਦੋਂ ਬੰਦ ਹੁੰਦੀ ਹੈ?

   Eh dukaan kadon band hundee hai?

   When does this shop close?

   Usage

   Check the closing time of a market stall or shop

   Grammar Note

   "Dukaan" (shop) is feminine, so the verb takes feminine form. Amritsar bazaars often stay open until 10 PM.

8. ਅਗਲੀ ਬੱਸ ਕਿੰਨੇ ਵਜੇ ਹੈ?

   Aglee bass kinne vaje hai?

   What time is the next bus?

   Usage

   Check the next bus departure time at a bus stop

   Grammar Note

   "Bass" (bus) is feminine, hence "aglee" (feminine next). Inter-city buses in Punjab are affordable for travel.

9. ਕੀ ਰੇਸਤਰਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਬੈਠਣ ਲਈ ਬੁਕਿੰਗ ਜ਼ਰੂਰੀ ਹੈ?

   Ki restaran vich baithhan layi buking zaroori hai?

   Is a reservation required for the restaurant?

   Usage

   Check if a reservation is needed for a popular restaurant

   Grammar Note

   Famous Amritsar restaurants like Brothers' Dhaba get crowded on weekends — advance booking is advisable.

10. ਭਲਕੇ ਦਾ ਪ੍ਰੋਗਰਾਮ ਕੀ ਹੈ?

    Bhalke daa program ki hai?

    What is tomorrow's program/schedule?

    Usage

    Confirm the next day's sightseeing schedule with a guide or travel companion

    Grammar Note

    "Bhalke" means only "tomorrow". "Kallh" means both "tomorrow" and "yesterday" and cannot be told apart with the present "hai", so it is avoided here.
