Kultureller Hintergrund
The use of 'tissue' instead of the Hindi word for cloth (rumaal) reflects the rapid urbanization of India. In many roadside dhabas, tissues are often replaced by small squares of recycled paper, but the phrase remains the same. Asking for a tissue is often the first interaction a diner has with a waiter in India.
The 'Zara' Magic
Add the word `zara` at the start. It's like saying 'if you don't mind'. It makes you sound like a native speaker instantly.
Don't just say 'Tissue'
In Hindi, just saying the noun can sound like a command. Always add `deejiye` to keep it polite and avoid looking rude.

What It Means
This phrase is as straightforward as it gets. You are asking for a tissue. The word tishoo pepar is just the English 'tissue paper' adapted into Hindi. The word deejiye is the polite form of 'give'. It is functional, clear, and very common in modern India.
How To Use It
You use this when you are at a table and the napkins are out of reach. Simply point or look at the person near the tissues and say the phrase. You can also add zara (just/please) at the beginning to sound even smoother. For example: zara tishoo pepar deejiye.
When To Use It
Use it at a restaurant after eating spicy 'gol gappas'. Use it in an office when a colleague has a box on their desk. Use it if you spill a drop of chai on your shirt. It is perfect for any situation where you need a quick cleanup.
When NOT To Use It
Don't use this with very close friends if you want to sound casual; use do instead of deejiye. Avoid saying it too loudly in a quiet library. If you are in a high-end traditional setting, some might use the word rumaal (handkerchief), but tishoo is almost always accepted now.
Cultural Background
In India, food is often eaten with hands. This makes tissues or napkins a central part of the dining experience. While traditional homes used cloth towels, urban India has fully embraced the disposable tissue. It is a sign of modern, urban Hindi where English loanwords are used for everyday objects.
Common Variations
You might hear people just say tishoo dena in casual settings. Some might say napkin deejiye interchangeably. If you are in a rush, just saying tishoo? with a rising intonation works too. It is a very flexible phrase that bridges the gap between English and Hindi perfectly.
Nutzungshinweise
The phrase is neutral-formal. It uses the 'Aap' (respectful) conjugation of the verb 'dena'. It is safe to use with anyone from a waiter to a CEO.
The 'Zara' Magic
Add the word `zara` at the start. It's like saying 'if you don't mind'. It makes you sound like a native speaker instantly.
Don't just say 'Tissue'

The Pink Tissue
In many small Indian eateries, you'll see bright pink or green thin tissues. They are iconic! Don't be surprised by the colors.
