Contexto cultural
This phrase is a prime example of 'Hinglish'—the blending of Hindi and English. While the formal Hindi word is 'udaharan', 'example' is used by almost everyone in urban India regardless of their English fluency. It highlights the practical, evolving nature of modern Indian street slang and professional talk.
The 'Hinglish' Magic
Don't worry about using English words like 'Example'. In India, using the pure Hindi word 'Udaharan' in a casual chat can actually make you sound like a textbook!
Watch the 'Do'
The word `दो` (do) is for equals. If you say this to your grandfather, it might sound like a command. Use `दीजिए` (deejiye) to stay in his good books.

What It Means
At its heart, एक्ज़ाम्पल दो (Example do) is a request for clarity. It combines the English word 'Example' with the Hindi verb दो (do), which means 'give'. It’s a classic piece of 'Hinglish'. You use it when someone is being too vague. Or when you simply don't believe their wild claims. It’s direct and gets straight to the point.
How To Use It
You place it at the end of a conversation thread. If a friend says 'This restaurant is bad,' you snap back with एक्ज़ाम्पल दो. It’s a command, but the tone makes it a question. You don't need fancy grammar here. Just the noun and the verb. It’s like a verbal nudge to get more details.
When To Use It
Use it during casual debates with friends. It's great for study groups when a concept feels like a cloud. Use it when texting to keep the conversation moving. It works perfectly at a coffee shop or during a casual work brainstorm. If your sibling says you're annoying, look them in the eye and say एक्ज़ाम्पल दो. It usually shuts them up for a second.
When NOT To Use It
Avoid this with your boss or elders. The word दो (do) is the 'तुम' (tum) form of giving. It’s too informal for a job interview. Don't use it with a stranger on the street. They might find it a bit bossy. In very formal settings, you'd swap दो for दीजिए (deejiye). Using it while someone is crying might be a bit too robotic. Read the room first!
Cultural Background
India loves 'Hinglish'. Mixing English nouns with Hindi verbs is the urban standard. 'Example' has almost entirely replaced the pure Hindi word 'Udaharan' in daily speech. It shows how modern Hindi is fluid and practical. It reflects a culture that values quick communication over linguistic purity. It’s the sound of modern Delhi, Mumbai, and Bangalore.
Common Variations
You can say एक एक्ज़ाम्पल दो (Give one example). Or go formal with एक्ज़ाम्पल दीजिए. If you're feeling lazy, just say एक्ज़ाम्पल? with a rising tone. Some people say उदाहरण दो (Udaharan do) if they want to sound more literary. But एक्ज़ाम्पल दो is the king of the streets. It’s punchy, clear, and everyone understands it instantly.
Notas de uso
This is a neutral-to-informal phrase. It sits perfectly in the 'Tum' (middle-tier formality) category. Use it with people you are on a first-name basis with.

Preguntas frecuentes
10 preguntasTechnically no, it's English, but it is used so frequently in Hindi that it's considered part of the 'Hinglish' vocabulary. Most people will use it instead of the formal उदाहरण (udaharan).
It's better to use the formal version एक्ज़ाम्पल दीजिए (Example deejiye). Using दो (do) might be perceived as too blunt or slightly disrespectful depending on your relationship.
The formal Hindi word is उदाहरण (udaharan). You might hear this in news reports, formal speeches, or read it in literature.
Add the word ना (na) at the end. एक्ज़ाम्पल दो ना (Example do na) sounds much softer and more like a plea than a command.
Yes, especially in urban areas. Because 'Example' is a basic English word, even people in non-Hindi speaking states will understand the sentiment.
In Hindi, the object usually comes before the verb. So एक्ज़ाम्पल दो (Example give) is the natural order, unlike English 'Give example'.
You can say कुछ एक्ज़ाम्पल्स दो (Give some examples). Note that people often pluralize the English word with an 's' even while speaking Hindi!
No, it is pronounced like 'dough' (as in bread). It has a long 'o' sound.

In a professional email, it's better to write 'Please provide an example' in English or use कृपया एक उदाहरण दें in formal Hindi.
