PREFACE
This is a work of art dedicated to all the who are struggling to find right resources to ease
learning Hindi grammar just enough to be able to write and speak correctly without getting lost
in definitions . Surprised to see a Grammar book referred as Art , yes it is an art to present
the right content in a user friendly manner which should leave a footstep in the memory of the
reader. I hope I have accomplished this in this handbook.
This book would be incomplete without the mention of all the selfless individuals who have
helped me at every step towards setting up Hindi Learning Foundation and providing all the
necessary content and review. The first and foremost is Mr.Suresh Seetaraman who has
dedicated 30 years in learning and teaching Hindi language even to foreigners and gladly
guided me to compile this book.The next person is Mr.Ramachandran Menon who showed
me the path to Be the change I want to bring rather than sit and wait for someone to do and
motivated me to take responsibilty and help in putting together the right resources .
Today here I am presenting this first of its kind user focussed Hindi Grammar book .
Hindi Foundation is a Self Funded project of Cherishma Consulting, helping Hindi learners to
read ,write and communicate effectively in Hindi and partners NGO's working in Skills
development of youths who want to impove their computer knowledge and Communication
skills. We want to build an inclusive community where each member feels a sense of
achievement and contributes towards Hindi language development.

Hindi an Introduction
Hindi the national language of India is an Indo-Aryan language with over 500 million speakers. It is
one of the official languages of India and is the main language used in the northern states of
Rajasthan, Delhi, Haryana, Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Himachal
Pradesh, Jharkhand and Bihar, and is spoken in much of north and central India alongside other
languages such as Punjabi, Gujarati, Marathi or Bengali. In other parts of India, as well as in Nepal,
Bangladesh and Pakistan, Hindi is understood. In Fiji people of Indian origin speak Hindi, and in some
areas the Fijian people also speak it.
Hindi is a phonetic language. Hindi words are pronounced exactly as they are written. You don't have
to memorise the correct spelling of a word. All consonants have an 'a' sound inherent in them. To write
the English word 'come' in Devanagari script all you do is assemble the two consonants (Ka) and
(Ma) by keeping them together and joining them with the horizontal head stroke as shown below
(Kam)
Similarly to write the Hindi word 'kamal' (lotus) you will simply add (La) to the end of the
above word and join all three letters together with the horizontal line:
(Kamal)

SYNTAX
4. Syntax
Hindi uses a different word order than English. The main differences are that verbs are
placed at the end of the sentence (like in German) and that Hindi (like other Indian
languages) uses postpositions instead of prepositions.
Postpositions are like prepositions except that they are written after the noun.
Example:
Normal sentences
English: Subject Verb Object
Hindi: Subject Object Verb
= I learn Hindi
= I Hindi learn
Imperative sentences
English: Verb Place Adverb = Come here now
Hindi: Place Adverb Verb =Here now come
Questions
English: Adverb Auxillary Verb Subject Verb =What are you drawing?
Hindi: Subject Adverb Verb = You what draw?
4 (b) Articles
In Hindi, articles (a, an, the) aren't used. Sometimes the word for the number one is
used for an indefinite article. For example, instead of saying, Give me a pen, you would
say, Give me one pen. It is also fine just to say, Give me pen.
Vocabulary

, :- zl8.tmp f.
people
Note: The "m." and "f." in the table above denote the gender of a noun. Every noun is
either masculine or feminine. It is very important to learn the gender when learning
Hindi nouns. More on gender in Lesson
Examples
He (far) is Raj.
:- zl8.tmp F file:///C:/
I am Amit.
:- zl8.tmp F file:///C:/DOCUME~1/HP_ , :- zl8.tmp 9:
You (formal) are Deepak.
We are people.
That is a dog.
This is a book.
, :- zl8.tmp
Verbs are referred to in their infinitive noun form which ends in na.
Examples:
bolna to speak
likhna to write
lena to take
ana to come
The stem of a verb is the infinitive form without the na ending.
Examples:
bol , likh, le , a
Case
There are two cases in Hindi, direct and indirect.
The indirect case is used when the noun is followed by a post-position, otherwise the
direct case is used.
Examples:
Masculine nouns on -a: larka = boy
(Karak)
Postposition
