In Hindi
ऐसा उपवाक्य जो बताता है कि कौन-सा — इसमें अल्पविराम नहीं लगता, क्योंकि इसे हटाने पर वाक्य अधूरा रह जाएगा।
CoCap explains every structure in both languages, because a rule you understand in Hindi is a rule you can use in English.
The sentence Indian-English speakers actually produce, and the reason it is wrong.
| Commonly said | Correct English |
|---|---|
The man who he called me is my uncle. | The man who called me is my uncle. "Who" is already the subject, so the extra "he" has nothing to do. |
Easiest first. Every sentence is authored, with the Hindi it comes from.
This is the book that I want.
यह वह किताब है जो मुझे चाहिए।
also correct: This is the book I want.
The boy who is running is my brother.
वह लड़का जो दौड़ रहा है मेरा भाई है।
This is the room that I got.
यह वह कमरा है जो मुझे मिला।
The chair that is broken is there.
वह कुर्सी जो टूटी है वहाँ है।
The girl who is singing is my sister.
जो लड़की गा रही है वह मेरी बहन है।
The man who is standing there is my neighbour.
वह आदमी जो वहाँ खड़ा है मेरा पड़ोसी है।
The house which is on the corner is very old.
वह घर जो कोने पर है बहुत पुराना है।
I liked the film that we watched.
मुझे वह फ़िल्म पसंद आई जो हमने देखी।
The man I met is a doctor.
जिस आदमी से मैं मिला वह डॉक्टर है।
also correct: The man who I met is a doctor.
I like the food that is made at home.
मुझे वह खाना पसंद है जो घर पर बनता है।
These come first. The rest of this makes more sense once they are automatic.
Close enough to be mixed up with this one. Knowing the difference is most of knowing either.
