How do you pronounce "बाज़ार" in Hindi?
baa-ZAAR — two long open vowels around a buzzing nuqta z, with a single flick to close.
baazaar
The tap at the end takes no time, which means the second aa should sound just as long as the first rather than being shortened by an English r. Both syllables carry the same vowel.

"Ham baazaar se phal khareedte haiṁ" uses se for source and phal, which opens with an aspirated फ — no nuqta, so it is a puffed p, not an f. That contrast with baazaar's nuqta z is the sentence's most instructive detail.
Where English speakers slip
The word is widely known in English as "bazaar" with an English r, which stretches the second syllable and colours both vowels. Reduce the r to one contact. Reading ज़ as j is the other slip, and it undoes the Persian origin the nuqta records.
