for native English speaker it would be difficult to say THEHRO in exact Hindi so he/she can say "RUKIYE" more formal and easy to speak properly.

agree  Rajan Chopra: Perfect. Just in case, the asker wants to have these equivalents in Hindi characters : "THEHRO" = ठहरो - "RUKIYE" = रुकिए - "THEHRIYE" = ठहरिए

agree  C.M. Rawal: रुकिए (and not रुकिये) is correct. Imperative words are written in Hindi like this, i.e., रुकिए, ठहरिए, चलिए, आइए, बैठिए, देखिए, जाइए, etc.

Hello jee, zara rukiye/thehriye


Explanation:
This is not just literary translation of stop. The asker wants the word to stop a car or a person and this is the formal and practical phrase to stop a car or a person. "Hello" is not a Hindi word, it is English. But it is used throughout India to address someone and everybody easily recognize it. Otherwise you can also say " Are jee, zara rukiye/thehriye".
