Then (tum) is probably the most used word for "you" (sg) in Hindi. You can say that to everybody unless you want to be polite, if so you can use the word "aap" (). NB. When using "aap" () or "tum" () you have to conjugate the verb for plural, since they're actually the plural form of "you". Well, you don't know how to conjugate at this point, but do remember that rule! When meeting for the first time and when politeness is needed better use 'aap' for 'you'! Now let's have a look at some demonstrative pronouns:

= This ( yeh / yah ) = That ( voh / vah ) = These ( ye ) = Those ( ve )


Now for the possesive pronouns:

(tera - /tu/)

Your

(aapka)

Your

(tumhara /tum/) Your

(unka)

Their

(uska)

His

I think one can build many sentences with so many pronouns. So, let's say something in hindi at last! ;-)

= is ( hai /hae/ ) Peter = My name is Peter. ( Mera naam Peter hai.


(naam) means "name" ). NB: The verb in Hindi is placed always at the end of the sentence. That's a feature which many asian languages share as well. So, Hindi is an SOV language (i.e Subject-Object-Verb). In our case, we don't say "My name is Peter", but "My name Peter is". That's the proper word order in Hindi. More examples:

Peter . = His name is Peter. (Uska naam Peter


hai.)

. = This is water. ( Yah pani hai. ) . = This is a house. (Yeh ghar hai. )
That's enough material for the lesson I think. Next lesson will be about genders and verbs.
