In Hindi
पहले सवाल का शब्द, फिर वही उलटफेर जो हाँ/ना वाले सवाल में होता है।
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 |
|---|---|
Where you are going? | Where are you going? "Are" comes before "you", even after "where". |
Easiest first. Every sentence is authored, with the Hindi it comes from.
Who are you?
तुम कौन हो?
Who is he?
वह कौन है?
also correct: Who is she?
What is this?
यह क्या है?
also correct: What's this?
Where are you?
तुम कहाँ हो?
Where do you live?
तुम कहाँ रहते हो?
Where are you going?
तुम कहाँ जा रहे हो?
Where do you work?
तुम कहाँ काम करते हो?
Where are you from?
तुम कहाँ से हो?
What is your name?
तुम्हारा नाम क्या है?
also correct: What's your name?
Where is your house?
तुम्हारा घर कहाँ 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.
