The Candy Trap
If a shopkeeper tries to give you candy instead of 2 rupees change, just smile and repeat 'Nahi, baaki de do' to get your coins.

What It Means
Baaki de do is your go-to phrase for financial closure. In Hindi, baaki means 'remaining' or 'leftover'. De do is a common way to say 'please give'. Together, they form the standard request for your change. It is simple, direct, and essential for daily life.
How To Use It
You use this at the end of a transaction. Imagine you bought a chai for 15 rupees. You handed over a 50-rupee note. The vendor gets distracted by another customer. You gently say baaki de do to remind them. It is short because commerce moves fast in India. You don't need a long sentence here.
When To Use It
Use this at local markets, small shops, or with rickshaw drivers. It is perfect for 'Kirana' (grocery) stores. Use it when the math is simple. It is also great when a friend owes you money from lunch. It sounds natural and confident. It shows you know how the local economy works.
When NOT To Use It
Avoid this in high-end luxury boutiques or five-star hotels. In those places, use English or more formal Hindi like kripya bacha hua parivartan dein. Do not use it if you intend to leave a tip. Saying baaki de do is the opposite of 'keep the change'. If the person is much older, add a polite ji at the end.
Cultural Background
India has a huge cash-based culture in small towns. Exact change is often a struggle. Shopkeepers might offer you candies instead of 1 or 2 rupees. If you don't want the candy, baaki de do is your polite refusal. It asserts your right to your money without being rude. It is the sound of the Indian street market.
Common Variations
You can say baaki paise de do to be more specific about 'money'. If you are being very polite, try baaki de dijiye. If you are with a close friend who owes you, a playful mere baaki de works. Most people just stick to the classic baaki de do for efficiency.
使用说明
This phrase sits right in the middle of the formality scale. It's safe for 90% of your daily interactions. Just remember to use 'dijiye' instead of 'do' if you're talking to someone much older or in a very high-stakes professional setting.
The Candy Trap
If a shopkeeper tries to give you candy instead of 2 rupees change, just smile and repeat 'Nahi, baaki de do' to get your coins.
Tone Matters
Keep your tone flat or rising. If you say it too sharply, it can sound like you're accusing them of stealing!
The 'Ji' Factor
Adding 'Ji' (Baaki de do ji) makes you sound like a local who is incredibly polite and well-mannered.
