One of the official languages of India is Hindi.Hindi shares its roots with many other languages, including Sanskrit, Urdu, and Punjabi, as well as Iranian and European languages.Learning to speak Hindi can be difficult, but you can start by learning simple words.You can practice your Hindi with others in a class, on your own using online tools, or with a language partner.
Step 1: You should be familiar with Hindi nouns.
In Hindi, all words for objects, places, and people have a gender: masculine or feminine.The gender of Hindi nouns is important for proper communication of the language.The gender can be determined using a general rule.Men and women use words that end with the vowels aa and ee.There are many exceptions to this rule.To be on the safe side, you need to memorize the gender of all nouns and practice using them in Hindi sentences and phrases.The nouns for boy and girl are: ladkaa (M)The general rule of gender applies in this case.Adding 'ya' can be used to create some feminine nouns in Hindi.Old lady translated to budhi and budhiya.There are exceptions to the general rule of gender.
Step 2: You can learn Hindi pronouns.
To communicate effectively in Hindi, you will need to learn simple pronouns.The first person singular is I and the second person is tum.If you want to show respect to the person you are speaking to, you should use the formal aap.When talking to friends or relatives, the informal thum is used.It is possible to use the informal when you are having an intimate conversation with your partner or children.When speaking to a stranger or someone you don't know well, do not use the informal as this is considered rude.Third person singular: yah - He/ She/ It/ That In spoken Hindi these words are pronounced differently.When talking about someone or something close to you, use yeh.If someone is standing next to you, you would use yeh.When speaking about someone or something further away, you should use voh.If someone is standing across the street, you would use voh.voh is used when in doubt.You will often hear ve being pronounced as the singular "voh".The third person pronouns follow the same rules: ye for people close to you and vo for things further away.Both yeh and voh could mean either "he" or "she".The third person pronoun is not based on the gender of the person you are talking about.You have to consider the context of the sentence in order to determine if the person is talking to a he or she.
