How do you decide when to use "sahith" or "vaali," which, according to my understanding, both mean "with?"
Word Choice: "Sahith" or "Vaali"

Hi Karina,
I am familiar with ke sath. With is a postprosition in Hindi. X के साथ = with X
तुम्हारे साथ(tumhare sath = with you (familiar).
तुम्हारे (तुम + के = तुम्हारे)
मैं + के = मेरे- मेरे साथ (mere sath)= with me.
Namaste!

Yes, if you travel to India, people will be using के साथ for with.
'Sahith' is hardly ever used.
Recently I was just in Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur. I didn't hear people using 'Sahith' or 'Vaali' at all. I only hear people using के साथ, so I think it would be safer to use that.
Namaste!

Hindi is my mother tongue and I have never heard "sahith" in
Hindi
I feel "sahith" should be actually 'sath' साथ which is 'with'
'vaali' वाली is about something.
ये वाली किताब - This particular book.
लाल वाली कमीज़ - It is about a shirt which is red in colour.
