How do you pronounce "सर्दी" in Hindi?
SUR-dee — a schwa, a quick tap, a dental d, and a long ee at the end.
sardee
Structurally this mirrors garmee exactly — schwa plus tap, then a long-vowelled syllable — so the two season words share a rhythm. Hearing them as a pair helps fix the pattern for both.

"Sardiyoṁ meṁ bahut ṭhaṇḍ hotee hai" uses the nasalized oblique plural sardiyoṁ, and ṭhaṇḍ packs an aspirated retroflex ठ and a retroflex ण into one syllable. So the noun is easy and the weather word is hard.
Where English speakers slip
An American r stretches the first syllable and colours the schwa, and the d lands on the alveolar ridge. Take them in order: one brief tap, then push the tongue tip forward onto the teeth for a full dental stop.
