Mistakes English speakers make with छुट्टियाँ

Incorrect: Using only chhutti for a two-week trip

Correct: Keep छुट्टियाँ for the vacation stretch

Chhutti is often one day off; छुट्टियाँ fits a holiday period.

Incorrect: Vacation mein without Hindi

Correct: हमारी छुट्टियाँ चल रही हैं / छुट्टियाँ शुरू

Prefer छुट्टियाँ for the vacation stretch; oblique छुट्टियों में is fine in speech but keep the headword form in learner lines.

Good to know

School गर्मी की छुट्टियाँ reshape family travel. Offices talk leave days more than vacation; still छुट्टियाँ is clear. Festival weeks feel like shared national breaks even without formal leave.
