HINGLISH SCRIPTWORK — EDITABLE EXAMPLE

Original fictional teaching example, September 18, 2026. No real ordering platform or fee policy is being described. These are chosen numbers for arithmetic, not observed consumer research.

Audience: a viewer comfortable with conversational Hindi and everyday English shopping terms.
Question: why can a cheaper menu price lead to a higher checkout total?
Invariant: compare the final totals, with all stated charges included.

English source:
The menu price is only one part of what you pay. In this example, the food costs 199 rupees. A delivery charge of 35 rupees and a handling charge of 10 rupees bring the total to 244 rupees. If you are comparing two orders, compare the final checkout totals rather than the first prices you see.

Literal Hindi-forward draft, kept as a contrast in register:
Menu ki keemat aapke dwara bhugtaan ki jaane waali raashi ka keval ek hissa hai. Is udaaharan mein bhojan ki keemat 199 rupaye hai. 35 rupaye ka delivery shulk aur 10 rupaye ka handling shulk kul raashi ko 244 rupaye tak le jaata hai.

Conversational Hinglish script:
Menu pe 199 dikha. Checkout pe 244. Beech mein kya jud gaya? Is example mein, 35 rupaye delivery ke aur 10 rupaye handling ke. Order karne se pehle yahi total dekhna hai. Ab maan lo doosri jagah wahi order 219 ka hai, aur koi extra charge nahi. Menu pe woh mehenga lag raha tha. Checkout pe pehle order se 25 rupaye sasta hai. Dono jagah final amount compare karo.

ARITHMETIC
Order A: 199 + 35 + 10 = 244 rupees.
Order B: 219 + 0 = 219 rupees.
Difference: 244 - 219 = 25 rupees.
The second order is a newly authored comparison, not a translation of a sentence in the English source. Keep it labelled fictional.

REQUIRED VISUALS
1. Show a clearly labelled sample receipt, not a real app screenshot.
2. Order A lines: Food Rs 199; Delivery Rs 35; Handling Rs 10; Total Rs 244.
3. Order B: Total Rs 219; state no additional charges in this example.
4. Compare Rs 244 versus Rs 219. Do not compare 199 with 219 after the explanation.

VOICE CHECK
Ask the actual host to choose: menu pe / menu par; order karna / mangwana; handling charge / handling ke paise. Keep whichever is natural for them, provided it preserves the claim.
Read the final script aloud. Spell out a number if the host stumbles. Record pronunciation guidance for a brand or unfamiliar name; none is needed for this fictional example.

CAPTION HANDOFF
Agree Roman Hindi or Devanagari with the audience and host before export.
Keep each number beside its label. Correct the automatic transcript against the spoken version. Do not put the literal draft in captions under the conversational recording.
