How to Put Apostrophe & Make Cool Hindi Sentences (+Video)

In the previous lessons you learnt to ask simple Hindi questions like what is this, what is that ? Now, let’s expand our horizon little bit . Let’s increase the concept in the same questions and answers style by using apostrophe.

Let me tell few things before going to structures for learning apostrophe. I have been repeating since very long time about the possessive form of pronouns – like His, Hers, My, Mine, Your, Yours, Their, Their, Our, Ours etc. I believe you have learnt them very well, if not then I request you to learn them first. Click here to learn.

As this is just one step more than previous Question – Answers Hindi lessons, so we will only focus on ‘s form like Ram’s , Dad’s , Mom’s etc. 

For that you need to learn to put proper Ka, Ki & Ke. I am sure if you are following my Hindi lessons ,you know very well how to choose them, but I would like to repeat again.

Noun+ Ka + Masculine Singular Word ____________

Noun + Ki  + Feminine Word ( Singular + Plural) ______

Noun + Ke + Masculine Plural form/ Masculine Oblique Form / Singular Masculine Respectful Name/Word ___

Let me give you some example.

Raam Ki Maata Jee. ( Ram’s Mother)

राम     की    माता   जी |

Raam Ka Bhai. ( Ram’s brother)

राम   का    भाई |

Raam Ke Pitaa Jee ( Ram’s dad)

राम      के     पिता  जी |

Raam Ke Bachche ( Ram’s kids)

राम       के   बच्चें |

Raam Ki Kitaaben (राम की किताबें |) – Raam’s Books

Raam Ke Khilaune (राम के खिलौने |) – Raam’s Toys

Raam Ka Ghar (राम का घर |) – Raam’s house.
