These are Hindi possessive pronouns. The usage is very simple. You need to know the gender of the
noun that you are using it with. For example, if you want to say: "My father", you should say:
"Meraa pitaa" (Pitaa is masculine gender so "meraa" (mine) will have to end in "aa" as that is the
masculine ending). The same thing is with the feminine gender: "Meree maa" (my mom) or
"meree patnee" (my wife) or "meri bahin" (my sister) would end in "ee" as it is used with the
feminine nouns. In many cases Hindi verbs end in a consonant and it is impossible to tell which
gender it is. The only way is TO MEMORIZE THE GENDER OF EACH HINDI NOUN or listen a lot of
Hindi until you talk according to the way you hear and think it is correct. Good luck!

1. How to say “I like” using noun पसंद (pasand – approval; choice; preference). The Hindi Stroke Orders

2. The second very common way to say “I like” is to use a phrase अच्छा लगता (achhaa lagtaa –
seem good; think to be good; feel to be good). To say “I like” in Hindi we will say: मुझे अछा लगता ह
(mujhe achhaa lagtaa hai – I like). To say “I don’t like” we would add नहीं (naheen – no) before the verb
and we would have मुझे अछा नहीं लगता (mujhe achhaa naheen lagtaa – I don’t like). To make a
question “Do you like?” we would add क्या (kyaa – what; a word used to make a question) and we will
have: क्या तुझे अछा लगता? (kyaa tujhe achhaa lagtaa – Do you like?).
As you can see, अच्छा लगता never changes its endings no matter which person is using it. It is pretty
easy to use it and I would recommend learning its past and future tenses too. If you want to say “I
liked” or “I enjoyed” in the past tense, you can say: अच्छा लगा (achchhaa lagaa ) and if you want
to say “I’ll like” or “I’ll enjoy” you can say: अच्छा लगेगा (achchhaa lagegaa ).
When does it change? It changes when we use अच्छा लगता (achchhaa lagtaa) when talking about a
feminine noun. For example if we want to say “I like that girl” we say: मुझे
वह लड़की अच्छी लगती
(mujhe vah ladkee achchhee lagtee) but if we want to say “I like that boy”, we say मुझे वह लड़का
अच्छा लगता (mujhe vah ladkaa achchhaa lagtaa).
शौक़ shauq as in Oxford Hindi-English dictionary: 1. m. a desire, yearning; 2. Predilection; taste (for,
का); fancy (for). 3. Eagerness, pleasure (in doing sthg). 4. A hobby शौक़ फ़रमाइए! (shauq farmaaie) – help
yourself!, take all you want! शौक़ िमटाना (shauq miTaanaa) – to satisfy a desire शौक़ होना (को) (shauq
honaa (ko)) – to be fond (of some activity) शौक़ से (shauq se) – with pleasure, gladly, according to one’s
wish.

respect and say मेरे िपताजी (mere pitaajee – m,sg, polite). In Hindi there is no difference

We have learned how to use Simple Imperfective (I used to do) and Past Continuous (I am
WHAT IS THIS? WHAT DOES IT doing) tenses. In Hindi it would sound:

So by learning intransitive verbs you will be able to describe the state and motion that S UB S C R IB E T O
happened in the past such as:

I woke up early in the All Comments
मैं सुबह जल्दी उठा। Main subah jaldee uThaa. morning.
िकताब मेज़ पर पड़ी थी । Kitaab mez par paDee thee. The book was on the table.
मेरे पित बहार गए थे । Mere pati bahaar gaye the. My husband went outside.
You may have noticed that some verbs in the perfective tense end with “-aa”, “-e”, “ee” or
“een” but there are some that end in “-yaa”, “-ye”, “yee” and “-yeen”.
So all the verbs that have a stem that ends with a consonant, like “हंस+ना” (hans+naa – to
laugh) or “भाग+ना” (bhaag+naa – to run), they will use the endings “-aa”, “-e”, “-ee” and “-
een”.
These verb stems that end with a vowel will use endings with “ya” in the beginning. For
example: “सो+ना” (so+naa – to sleep) will become सो+या (so+yaa – slept); “आ+ना” (aa+naa –
to come) will become “आ+या“ (aa+yaa – came).
Some of the most important and most used Hindi verbs (also called auxiliary verbs) will have
irregular form for its perfective tense.
