1. Introduction to Hindi Verbs

The first question we’re going to answer is “What is the word for ‘verb’ in Hindi?”
The word for verb in Hindi is known as क्रिया (kriyaa).
- In Hindi, the “to be” verbs end with -ना (-Naa).
For example, “to go” = जाना (jaaNaa); “to eat” = खाना (khaaNaa).
Just like in any other language, there are certain rules to be followed in order to correctly use the following list of verbs in Hindi.
Those who wish to dig into all the grammar essentials, this is your go-to basic Hindi verbs list. So, let’s begin.
2. Sentence Pattern in Hindi

In a Hindi sentence, the verb always comes last. The usual sentence structure is S (Subject) + O (Object) + V (Verb).
1. खाना (khaaNaa) “to eat” | सोहन ने आम खाया। SohaN Ne aam khaayaa. “Sohan ate a mango.” |
Here, सोहन (SohaN) = Subject, आम (aam) = Object, and खाया (khaayaa) = Verb.
2. पढ़ना (padhaNaa) “to read” | रीमा किताब पढ़ रही है। riimaa kiTaab padh rahii hai. “Reema is reading a book.” |
Here, रीमा (riimaa) = Subject, किताब (kiTaab) = Object, and पढ़ रही है (padh rahii hai) = Verb.
Now that we’ve looked at the ways verbs work in Hindi, it’s time to study the different types of verbs in Hindi.
3. Transitive & Intransitive Verbs
On the basis of presence / absence of the object, there are two Hindi verb types.
- One is a “transitive verb” in Hindi, or सकर्मक क्रिया (Sakarmak kriyaa). Using Hindi transitive verbs means that the sentence has an object.
3. जाना (jaaNaa) “to go” | मैं स्कूल जाता हूँ। main SkuuL jaaTaa huun. “I go to school.” |
- The other type is the “intransitive verb” in Hindi, or अकर्मक क्रिया (akarmak kriyaa). Using an intransitive verb means that the sentence has no object.
Example: मैं जाता हूँ। (main jaaTaa huun.) = “I go.”

4. Regular & Irregular Verbs
This is not a strict division, but in terms of Hindi verb conjugation, there are two types of Hindi verbs.
- Regular verbs in Hindi
When conjugating Hindi regular verbs, the verb form remains the same.
Example: Here, the infinitive verb is “to watch,” or देखना (DekhaNaa).
4. देखना (DekhaNaa) “to watch” | राज फ़िल्म देखता है। raaj fiLm DekhaTaa hai. “Raj watches a movie.” |
Now, as the example shows a singular subject, “Raj,” and the present tense verb form, the infinitive form “to watch” changes into present tense and becomes “watches.”
Similarly: राज ने फ़िल्म देखी। (raaj Ne fiLm Dekhii.) “Raj watched a movie.”
राज फ़िल्म देखेगा। (raaj fiLm Dekhegaa.) “Raj will watch a movie.”
- Irregular verbs in Hindi
Hindi irregular verbs may change their forms according to the tense that’s used.
Example: Here, the infinitive verb is “to go,” or जाना (jaaNaa).
राज अस्पताल जाता है। (raaj aSpaTaaL jaaTaa hai.) “Raj goes to the hospital.”
राज अस्पताल गया। (raaj aSpaTaaL gayaa.) “Raj went to the hospital.”
राज अस्पताल जायेगा। (raaj aSpaTaaL jaayegaa.) “Raj will go to the hospital.”
- In addition to these two types of verbs, Hindi verbs conjugation also changes with various other factors, such as gender, mood, intention, etc. Wish to read about this in detail? Stay tuned for our upcoming guide on Conjugation in Hindi!
5. Auxiliary Verbs or Helping Verbs

Do you know that Hindi auxiliary verbs, or helping verbs, are known as सहायक क्रिया (Sahaayak kriyaa). The helping verbs support the main verb and make the sentence grammatically correct.
In our simple Hindi verb tenses charts below, you’ll find some Hindi helping verbs with examples of how to use them.
1- Present Tense
5. है (hai) “is” | Used for singular nouns and pronouns | आम मीठा है। aam miithaa hai. “The mango is sweet.” |
6. हूँ (huun) “am” | Used for “I” | मैं एक लड़की हूँ। main ek Ladakii huun. “I am a girl.” |
7. हैं (hain) “are” | Used for plural nouns and pronouns | वे लोग भूखे हैं। ve Log bhuukhe hain. “Those people are hungry.” |
2- Past Tense
Here are the main Hindi past tense auxiliary verbs.
8. था (THaa) “was” | Used for singular masculine nouns and pronouns | सूरज कल दफ़्तर जा रहा था। Suuraj kaL DafTar jaa rahaa THaa. “Suraj was going to the office yesterday.” |
9. थी (THii) “was” | Used for singular feminine nouns and pronouns | पूजा सो रही थी। puujaa So rahii THii. “Pooja was sleeping.” |
10. थे (THe) “were” | Used for plural nouns and pronouns | सभी बच्चे पार्क में खेल रहे थे। Sabhii bacce paark men kheL rahe THe. “All the kids were playing in the park.” |
3- Future Tense
And lastly, here’s how to conjugate Hindi verbs in the future tense.
11. -गा (-gaa) “will” / “shall” | Used for singular masculine nouns and pronouns | सूरज कल दफ़्तर जाएगा। Suuraj kaL DafTar jaayegaa. “Suraj will go to the office tomorrow.” |
12. -गी (-gii) “will” / “shall” | Used for singular feminine nouns and pronouns | पूजा दो घंटे तक सोएगी। puujaa Do ghante Tak Soyegii. “Pooja will sleep for two hours.” |
13. -गे (-ge) “will” / “shall” | Used for plural nouns and pronouns | सभी बच्चे पार्क में खेलेंगे। Sabhii bacce paark men kheLenge. “All the kids will play in the park.” |
Getting familiar with the different kinds of verbs? Well, there’s a lot more to come! Soon, we’ll be expanding your Hindi verbs vocabulary by checking out our list of Hindi phrasal verbs. We’ll also find out what on earth Hindi causative verbs are!
But first, we present you with some of the most commonly used modal verbs in Hindi.
6. Hindi Modal Verbs
Modal verbs help us express the capacity, intention, or urgency of an action. Just like Hindi auxiliary verbs, modal verbs are not the main verbs, but are helpful in emphasizing a particular context.
14. चाहिए (caahiye) “Should” | तुम्हें अब आराम करना चाहिए। Tumhen ab aaraam karaNaa caahiye. “You should rest now.” |
15. ज़रूर (zaruur) “Must” | हमें अपना वादा ज़रूर पूरा करना चाहिए। hamen apaNaa vaaDaa zaruur puuraa karaNaa caahiye. “We must fulfill our promise.” |
16. सकना (SakaNaa) “Can” / “Could” | ऋतु कार चला सकती है। riTu kaar caLaa SakaTii hai. “Ritu can drive the car.” |
We also use the verb “would” in Hindi. But instead of translating it into a particular word, “would” generally works as a suffix in Hindi verbs.
- Suffixes for “would” = गा (gaa) / गी (gii) / गें (ge)
For example:
- क्या आप चाय लेंगे?
kyaa aap caay Lenge?
“Would you have some tea?”
- हम आपके आभारी रहेंगे.
ham aapke aabhaarii rahenge.
“We would really appreciate that.”
7. Causative Verbs in Hindi
Our list of basic Hindi verbs for beginners would be incomplete without causative verbs. Any idea what they are?
Well, the causative verbs in Hindi represent an action which isn’t being done directly by the subject.
Usually, such verbs end with the suffix -वाना (-vaaNaa).
Let’s read some examples to understand how they are applied in a sentence.
17. -वाना (-vaaNaa) “Get” | मुझे बाल कटवाना है। mujhe baaL katavaaNaa hai. “I have to get a haircut.” |
18. -वाना (-vaaNaa) “Make” | दादाजी मुझसे रोज़ पौधों में पानी डलवाते हैं। DaaDaajii mujh Se roz pauDHon men paaNii daLavaaTe hain. “Grandpa makes me water the plants every day.” |

Are you ready to dig deeper now, and really start learning Hindi pronouns? Let’s go!
4. Hindi Personal Pronouns

The first type of pronoun we’ll be discussing in this Hindi pronouns list is the personal pronoun. Personal pronouns in Hindi are known as पुरुषवाचक सर्वनाम (purusavaacak SarvaNaam). This type of pronoun in Hindi refers to words that replace nouns that are used for a particular person, place, or thing.
To make personal pronouns in Hindi crystal-clear for you, we’ll break it down into sub-categories that are described below.
1- Singular Forms
Almost all Hindi pronouns exercises revolve around the correct use of pronouns in Hindi. This also includes knowing how to form and use the singular and plural forms of pronouns. Let’s go over the concept of the “singular form”, or एकवचन (ekavacaN), of personal pronouns in Hindi.
Personal Pronouns: Singular Forms | |||
---|---|---|---|
Hindi | English | Sentences | |
1st Person | मैं (main) | “I” | मैं सोना चाहता हूँ। main SoNaa caahaTaa huun. “I want to sleep.” |
2nd Person | तुम (Tum) | “You” | तुम अच्छी लग रही हो। Tum acchii Lag rahii ho. “You look nice.” |
आप (aap) | “You” | आप चाय लेना पसंद करेंगे? aap caaye LeNaa paSanD karenge. “Would you like to have tea?” | |
3rd Person | वह (vah) | “He” | वह रोज़ विद्यालय जाता है। vah roz viDyaaLay jaaTaa hai. “He goes to school every day.” |
वह (vah) | “She” | वह बहुत उदास थी। vah bahauT uDaaS THii. “She was quite sad.” | |
यह (yeh) | “It” | यह एक उपन्यास है। yah ek upaNyaaS hai. “It is a novel.” |
2- Plural Forms
The plural forms are known as बहुवचन (bahuvacaN) in Hindi. Below is a Hindi pronoun chart which showcases some of the most frequently used plural forms of personal pronouns in Hindi.
Personal Pronouns: Plural Forms | |||
---|---|---|---|
Hindi | English | Sentences | |
1st Person | हम (ham) Or हम सब (ham Sab) Or हम लोग (ham Log) | “We” | हम सब बाज़ार जा रहे हैं। ham Sab baazaar jaa rahe hain. “We are going to the market.” |
2nd Person | तुम सब (Tum Sab) | “You” | तुम सब को हिंदी में चार वाक्य बनाने हैं। Tum Sab ko hinDii men caar vaakya baNaaNe hain. “You have to make four sentences in Hindi.” |

3rd Person | वे (ve) | “They” | वे लोग मेरे रिश्तेदार हैं। ve Log mere risTeDaar hain. “They are my relatives.” |
3- Hindi Object Pronouns
This kind of pronoun in Hindi consists of words that are used to replace the object (on which the action is being done) in that sentence. In such sentences, the subject or doer is someone else.

Let’s check out all pronouns in Hindi which are in the object forms.

4- Casual Forms
No language would be complete without its casual or informal words for chitchats. So, how could we let you miss these hardcore native pronoun words in Hindi?
Here’s our list of Hindi pronouns in their casual forms.
Make sure to use them only with your close friends. Avoid using them with colleagues and those who are older than you as it may leave a bad impression on them!

तेरा (Teraa) / तेरी | “Your” | तेरी तबियत कैसी है ? Terii TabiyaT kaiSii hai? “How is your health?” |
5- Possessive Forms
The fifth type of personal pronoun is Hindi possessive pronouns/forms, which in Hindi are called अधिकारवाचक सर्वनाम (aDHikaaravaacak SarvaNaam).As the definition of possessive pronouns in Hindi indicates, the Hindi possessive pronouns are those words which show possession or ownership of a noun.
Personal Pronouns: Possessive Forms | |||
---|---|---|---|
Hindi | English | Sentences | |
1st Person | मेरा (meraa) / मेरी (merii) | “My” / “Mine” | मेरा बैग गीला है। meraa baig giiLaa hai. “My bag is wet.” |
हमारा (hamaaraa) / हमारी (hamaarii) | “Our” | हमारा फ़्रिज ख़राब हो गया है। hamaaraa frij kharaab ho gayaa hai. “Our fridge is not working.” | |
2nd Person | तुम्हारा (Tumhaaraa) / तुम्हारी (Tumhaarii) | “Your” | तुम्हारी दवा का वक़्त हो गया। Tumhaarii Davaa kaa vaqT ho gayaa hai. “It’s time for your medicine.” |
आपका (aapakaa) / आपकी (aapakii) | “Your” | आपका काम हमें बहुत अच्छा लगा। aapakaa kaam hamen bahuT acchaa Lagaa. “We really liked your work.” | |
3rd Person | उसका (uSkaa) / उसकी (uSkii) | “His” / “Her” | सीमा अपने परिवार से प्यार करती है और हर सप्ताहांत उनसे मिलने जाती है। Siimaa apNe parivaar Se pyaar karTii hai aur har SapTaahaanT uNSe miLNe jaaTii hai. “Seema loves her family and meets them every weekend.” |
उनका (uNakaa) / उनकी (uNakii) | “Their” | मुझे उनका फ़ोन नंबर मालूम है। mujhe uNakaa foN Nambar maaLuum hai. “I know their phone numbers.” |
Now that you’re familiar with Hindi possessive pronouns, it’s time to study another significant sub-topic: the reflexive pronoun in Hindi.
6- Reflexive Forms
Before we look at the Hindi pronouns table below, we’ll first go over the meaning of reflexive pronouns in Hindi.

The reflexive forms, or emphatic pronouns, are known as निजवाचक सर्वनाम (Nijavaacak SarvaNaam). While there are several words that qualify as reflexive pronouns in English, they’re reduced to two common phrases in Hindi that are used for all first-, second-, and third-person personal pronouns.
Which ones are these? Find out for yourself!
Personal Pronouns: Reflexive Forms | ||
---|---|---|
Hindi | English | Sentences |
| “Myself” | मैं ख़ुद वहाँ जाना चाहती हूँ। main khuD vahaan jaaNaa caahaTii huun. “I want to go there myself.” |
“Yourself” | तुम ख़ुद ये नौकरी करना चाहते थे। Tum khuD hii ye Naukarii karaNaa caahaTe THe. “You yourself wanted this job.” | |
“Themselves” | उन्होंने ख़ुद ही सामान का भुगतान किया था। uNhoNe khuD hii SaamaaN kaa bhugaTaaN kiyaa THaa. “They, themselves, paid for the stuff.” | |
“Himself” | बच्चा अपने आप ही चलने लगा। baccaa apaNe aap hi caLaNe Lagaa. “The toddler himself started walking.” | |
“Herself” | इसके लिए सीमा ख़ुद ज़िम्मेदार है। iSake Liye Siimaa khuD zimmeDaar hai. “Seema herself is responsible for this.” | |
“Ourselves” | हम ख़ुद इस मुश्किल में पड़ गए। ham khuD iS muskiL men pad gaye. “We got into this problem ourselves.” |
As you can see, we have just two Hindi phrases for so many English reflexive pronouns. Actually, both the phrases अपने-आप (apaNe-aap) and ख़ुद-ही (khuD-hii) can be used to replace any of the English reflexive pronouns, be it “himself,” “herself,” “themselves,” and so on.
Hence, regardless of the English reflexive pronouns, the clarity of the context mostly depends on the Hindi personal pronouns in that sentence, and not on the Hindi reflexive pronouns.
5. Hindi Demonstrative Pronouns
Now, we’ll talk about the demonstrative pronoun in Hindi. These pronouns are quite important, and we’ll look at them in more depth in the following Hindi pronouns chart.

The demonstrative pronoun meaning in Hindi is संकेतवाचक सर्वनाम (SankeTavaacak SarvaNaam). It’s also known as a definite pronoun in Hindi, or निश्चयवाचक सर्वनाम (Niscayavaacak SarvaNaam).
These are words which indicate a specific noun.

वही | “The same” | ये वही बच्ची है जिसके बारे में मैंने तुम्हें बताया था। ye vahii baccii hai jiSake baare men maine Tumhen baTaayaa THaa. “It’s the same girl I told you about.” |
6. Hindi Interrogative Pronouns

Interrogative pronouns in Hindi help us ask questions about any noun. In Hindi, these are known as प्रश्नवाचक सर्वनाम (prasNavaacak SarvaNaam).

7. Hindi Indefinite Pronouns
The next sub-topic in our Hindi pronouns list is the indefinite pronoun. Indefinite pronouns in Hindi are called अनिश्चयवाचक सर्वनाम (aNiscayavaacak SarvaNaam).

Premium PLUS: The Golden Ticket for Language-Learning
Do you remember the moment you fell in love with languages?
Do you desire to learn or advance in Hindi quickly and effectively?
Then you need a Hindi tutor.
A common question that first-time language-learners ask is “Where do I begin?” The answer? Guidance.
For native English-speakers who want to learn Asian languages, for example, timelines provided by the U.S. Foreign Service Institute can appear discouraging. However, defeating these odds is not unheard of. If you want to beat the odds yourself, one of the best learning options is a subscription to Premium PLUS from Innovative Language.
As an active Premium PLUS member of JapanesePod101.com and KoreanClass101.com myself, I have an enjoyable experience learning at an accelerated pace with at least thirty minutes of study daily. The following Premium PLUS features contribute to my success:
- Access to thousands of lessons
- A voice recorder
- Spaced-repetition system (SRS) flashcards
- Weekly homework assignments
- A personal language instructor
As someone who decided to make Japanese her second language one year ago, I am extremely grateful for Premium PLUS.
Allow me to emphasize on how these Premium PLUS features strengthen my language studies.
Gain Unlimited Access to Audio and Video Lessons!
As a Premium PLUS member, I have full access to the lesson library and other Premium features. Best of all, I’m not limited to one level; I can learn to my heart’s content with upper-level courses.
There are lessons on various topics that tackle crucial language-learning elements, such as:
- Reading
- Writing
- Listening
- Speaking
- Conversation
Specifically, there are pathways. Pathways are collections of lessons that center on a specific topic. Some Innovative Language sites, like JapanesePod101.com, even have pathways geared toward proficiency tests. For example, the JLPT N3 Master Course pathway.
Because of the abundance of lessons, I’ve found pathways in the lesson library to help me prepare for certain events. Thanks to the “Speaking Perfect Japanese at a Restaurant” pathway, I spoke fully in Japanese while dining in Japan. Additionally, I participated in conversations at language exchange meetups in South Korea after completing the “Top 25 Korean Questions You Need to Know” pathway.
Each lesson has lesson notes, which I read while simultaneously listening to the audio lesson. This strategy enables me to follow along on key points. Lesson notes generally contain the following:
- Dialogue
- Vocabulary
- Grammar points
- Cultural insights
As someone who’s constantly on-the-go, I heavily benefit from mobile access to lessons. Podcasts and lesson notes are available on the Innovative Language app and/or Podcasts app for iOS.
All lessons and their contents are downloadable. Prior to my flights to Japan and South Korea, I downloaded lessons on my iPhone. The apps make learning more convenient for me during my commutes.
Practice Speaking with the Voice Recording Tool!
Pronunciation is an essential ingredient in language-learning. Proper pronunciation prompts clear understanding during conversations with native speakers.
Prior to learning full Korean sentences, my online Korean language tutor assigned the “Hana Hana Hangul” pathway to me. It demonstrated the writing and pronunciation of Hangul, the Korean alphabet. Throughout this pathway, I submitted recordings of my Hangul character pronunciations to my language teacher for review.
I was given a similar task on JapanesePod101.com with the “Ultimate Japanese Pronunciation Guide” pathway. My Japanese language teacher tested my pronunciation of the Japanese characters kana. My completion of the two pathways boosted my confidence in speaking.
Speaking is one of the more challenging components of learning a language. The voice recording tool in particular was a great way for me to improve my speaking skills. Further, because the lesson dialogues are spoken by native speakers, I’m able to practice speaking naturally.
This feature is also available for vocabulary words and sample sentences. Being able to hear these recordings improves my pronunciation skills for languages like Japanese, where intonation can change the meaning of a word entirely. The voice recorder examines my speed and tone. I also follow up by sending a recording to my online language tutor for feedback.
A great way to boost one’s speaking confidence is to shadow native speakers. During the vocabulary reviews, it’s helpful for me to hear the breakdown of each word; doing so makes a word that was originally difficult to even read a breeze to say!
Some lessons create opportunities to speak your own sentences. For example, the “Top 25 Korean Questions You Need to Know” pathway presents opportunities to answer questions personally. This helps you gain the ability to give answers as the unique individual you are.
Example Scenario:
The host asks the following question:
어디에 살고 있습니까?
eodieseo salgo isseumnikka
“Where do you live?”
If you live in Tokyo, you would readily say the following:
도쿄에 살고 있습니다.
Tokyo-e salgo isseumnida.
“I live in Tokyo.”
Increase Your Vocab with Spaced-Repetition Flashcards and More!
Imagine having a conversation with a native speaker and hesitating because you lack a solid vocabulary base.
Premium PLUS offers various features to expand learners’ vocabulary, including Free Gifts of the Month. HindiPod101’s free gifts for April 2020 included an e-book with “400 Everyday Phrases for Beginners,” and the content is updated every month. When I download free resources like this, I find opportunities to use them with co-teachers, friends, or my language tutors.
An effective way to learn vocabulary is with SRS flashcards. SRS is a system designed for learning a new word and reviewing it in varying time intervals.
You can create and study flashcard decks, whether it’s your Word Bank or a certain vocabulary list. For example, if you need to visit a post office, the “Post Office” vocabulary list for your target language would be beneficial to study prior to your visit.
In addition to the SRS flashcards, each lesson has a vocabulary slideshow and quiz to review the lesson’s vocabulary.
There’s also the 2000 Core Word List, which includes the most commonly used words in your target language. Starting from the 100 Core Word List, you’ll gradually build up your knowledge of useful vocabulary. These lists can be studied with SRS flashcards, too.
With the SRS flashcards, you can change the settings to your liking. The settings range from different card types to number of new cards per deck. Personally, I give myself vocabulary tests by changing the settings.
After studying a number of flashcards, I change the card types to listening comprehension and/or production. Then I test myself by writing the translation of the word or the spoken word or phrase.
The change in settings allow me to remember vocabulary and learn how to identify the words. This is especially helpful with Japanese kanji!
Complete Homework Assignments!
Homework assignments are advantageous to my language studies. There are homework assignments auto-generated weekly. They range from multiple-choice quizzes to writing assignments.
Language tutors are readily available for homework help. Some writing assignments, for instance, require use of unfamiliar vocabulary. In such cases, my language teachers assist me by forwarding related lessons or vocabulary lists.
In addition to these auto-generated homework tasks, language tutors customize daily assignments. My daily homework assignments include submitting three written sentences that apply the target grammar point of that lesson, and then blindly audio-recording those sentences. My personal language tutor follows up with feedback and corrections, if needed.
Your language tutors also provide assignments upon requests. When I wanted to review grammar, my Korean teacher sent related quizzes and assignments. Thus, you are not only limited to the auto-generated assignments.
Every weekend, I review by re-reading those written sentences. It helps me remember sentence structures, grammar points, and vocabulary to apply in real-world contexts.
Furthermore, I can track my progress with language portfolios every trimester. It’s like a midterm exam that tests my listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills.
Get Your Own Personal Language Teacher!
My language teachers cater to my goals with personalized and achievable learning programs. The tangible support of my online language teachers makes it evident that we share common goals.
Once I share a short-term or long-term goal with my teacher, we establish a plan or pathway that will ultimately result in success. I coordinate with my teachers regularly to ensure the personalized learning programs are prosperous. For example, during my JLPT studies, my Japanese language tutor assigned me practice tests.
Your language tutor is available for outside help as well. When I bought drama CDs in Japan, I had difficulty transliterating the dialogue. My Japanese teacher forwarded me the script to read along as I listened.
Additionally, I often practice Korean and Japanese with music. I memorize one line of the lyrics daily. Every time, I learn a new grammar point and new vocabulary. I add the vocabulary to my SRS flashcards, locate the grammar in the Grammar Bank, and study the associated lessons online.
I send my teachers the name of the songs, making them aware of my new goal. One time, my song for Korean was “If You Do” by GOT7. My Korean teacher revealed that she was a huge fan of GOT7 like me! For Japanese, it was “CHA-LA HEAD-CHA-LA,” also known as the Dragonball Z theme song. My Japanese teacher excitedly told me that she sang the song a lot as a kid!
A remarkable thing happened to me in South Korea. I was stressed about opening a bank account with limited Korean. I sought help from my Korean teacher. She forwarded me a script of a bank conversation.
After two days, I visited the local bank. It all started with my opening sentence:
은행 계좌를 만들고 싶어요
eunhaeng gyejwaleul mandeulgo sip-eoyo.
I want to open a bank account.
Everything went smoothly, and I exited the bank with a new account!
The MyTeacher Messenger allows me to share visuals with my teachers for regular interaction, including videos to critique my pronunciation mechanisms. I improve my listening and speaking skills by exchanging audio with my teachers. In addition to my written homework assignments, I exchange messages with my language teachers in my target language. This connection with my teachers enables me to experience the culture as well as the language.

Celebrating Ganesh Chaturthi in India

Are you familiar with the most important Hindu deity, Lord Ganesha? In the Hindu faith, he’s considered the god above all other gods, and multitudes of devoted Hindus worship him and celebrate his birth each year.
In this article, HindiPod101.com will teach you all about the Ganesh Chaturthi holiday in India and how it’s celebrated today.
Let’s get started.

1. What is Ganesh Chaturthi?

Ganesh Chaturthi is the celebration of the गणेश भगवान का जन्मदिन (ganesh bhagwaan ka janmDin), or “birthday of Lord Ganesha.” He is the most important deity in Hinduism, known for having a human-like body but the head of an elephant. Lord Ganesha is revered for his role in the universe as the “Remover of Obstacles,” the “God of Success,” and the “God of New Beginnings.”
The origins of this holiday are debated, though most people agree that the celebrations began in Pune during the 1600s. Celebrations of this holiday dissipated for a time, but continued later as a way to reunite India after it had been divided by British rule. The three people most often credited with making Ganesh Chaturthi popular again are Sardar Krishnaji Khasgiwale, Lokmanya Tilak, and Bhausaheb Rangari. The latter two were freedom fighters during that time period.
So if India is no longer under British rule, why is Ganesh Chaturthi celebrated today?
Well, like many holidays in other cultures, people grew used to the celebration over time. It simply became a way of life. That said, the सार्वजनिक समारोह (saarvajanik samaaroh), or “public celebration,” for Ganesh Chaturthi is massive and full of energy! Hindus are glad to worship Lord Ganesha for his blessings of luck and success, and they hope that in continuing to worship him, his blessings will continue to flow.

3. Ganesh Chaturthi Traditions

Perhaps the most well-known aspect of this holiday is the Ganesh Chaturthi decorations, which are clay models of Ganesh statues called मिटटी से बनी गणेशजी की मूर्ती (mitti se bani ganeshji ki moorTii). Sculptors begin crafting these lovely clay statues weeks, or even months, before the holiday begins. Because every Hindu family will be purchasing at least one, this holiday is very profitable for the sculptors who lovingly design the Ganesh statues.
Hindus place smaller versions of the statue inside their homes on an altar called Mandir; larger statues are placed in public areas on pandals. The Mandir and pandals are elaborately decorated for the occasion and are often placed in special lighting.
Ganesh Chaturthi is a time of sincere worship for Hindu devotees, who flock to their nearest public Ganesh statue to pray and say a मंत्र (manTra), or “mantra.” Worshipers are marked with blood-red sandalwood paste on their foreheads as they arrive, and priests guide them in saying various mantras.
Some Hindus opt to fast for the holiday, believing that doing so will please Lord Ganesha so that he blesses them. The Ganesha Chaturthi fasting procedure isn’t very strict, except that the devotee should avoid meat and alcohol at all costs. There’s also a so-called “waterless fast,” in which the devotee goes twenty-four hours without food or water.
On Ganesh Chaturthi, special sweets called मोदक (moDak), or “Modak,” are prepared. These are ball-shaped dessert items made with jaggery and coconut, and they can be either deep-fried or steamed. Lord Ganesha is said to have loved Modak, hence its popularity on this holiday. Learn more about fasting and Ganesh Chaturthi recipes on the Times of India website!
To end the ten-day worship period, Hindus perform the मूर्ती विसर्जित करना (moorTii visarjiT karna), or “idol immersion.” This is when the Lord Ganesha statues are plunged into the ocean or another body of water, where they will begin to dissolve. Because the statues are designed to give Hindus a more tangible presence to worship, the act of allowing them to dissolve in water represents the idea that even though Lord Ganesha’s presence is not always tangible, it’s always there. Some also believe that it’s a way of symbolically letting go of the things they value, and of realizing that all things eventually come to an end.

4. The Birth of Lord Ganesha

While there are numerous stories about Lord Ganesha, the most relevant one to this holiday is the Ganesh Chaturthi story, which talks about his birth and early life.
Lord Ganesha was the शिव और पार्वती के पुत्र (shiv aur paarvaTii ke puTrr), or “son of Shiva and Parvati.” It’s said that the Goddess Parvati created Ganesha by making a statue of him and breathing life into it. Afterward, she told her son not to let anyone into their home while she went to take a bath. But Parvati’s husband Shiva arrived at their home shortly after this, only to be turned away by Ganesha. This turned into a bloody brawl, in which Ganesha’s head was taken off.
Parvati, angry with her husband, convinced him to go and look for a new head for their son. But after having all the gods search for one, all they could come up with was the head of an elephant. Thus, Ganesha has the body of a human and the head of an elephant.
After this event, Parvati named her son Ganesha, making him the god above all gods.

Your Guide to Hindi Sentence Structure and Word Order

Placing words in the right order is quite similar to weaving pearls beautifully into a string. How would it look if the pearls were put together haphazardly? Technically, they’re still pearls in a string; yet the beauty is ruined.
The same is true for word order in a Hindi sentence structure, or in any other language for that matter. One can not speak correctly without knowing how to put words together in a sentence. Stuffing the words randomly falls under poor grammar.
The sentence structure in one language may not be the same as the word order in another. The placement and sequence of words matter a lot because not following the right pattern often leads to meaningless and confusing conversations.So, in today’s lesson, we’ll focus on Hindi sentence structure and word order.

1. Understanding the Basic Word Order in Hindi

One thing worth remembering is that in a formal conversation, the sentence structure remains fixed. However, when talking informally, native speakers use more flexible patterns.Okay, enough of the chitter chatter. Let’s ask ourselves the foundational question! What is the structure of a sentence in Hindi?
The basic Hindi sentence structure follows the SOV pattern. |
Here, S = Subject, O = Object, and V = Verb. Yes, you heard that right. We have the order subject + object + verb in Hindi sentences.
1 – Subject
The subject is any person or thing which is the primary doer in the sentence, and it usually comes at the beginning of a sentence.
मैं खाता हूँ। (main khaaTaa huun.) | “I eat.” |
Here, “I” or मैं (main) is the subject.
2 – Object
An object is a word on which the action is performed. Usually, it follows immediately after the subject and before the verb.
मैं फल खाता हूँ। (main phaL khaaTaa huun.) | “I eat fruits.” |
Here, “fruits” or फल (phaL) is the object.
3 – Verb
A verb is the action happening in the sentence. Contrary to the English sentence structure, in Hindi, the verb (along with the helping verb) comes at the end of the sentence.
