Understanding Hindi Adjectives
Adjectives in Hindi are words that describe or give more information about a noun. They tell us more about a person, place, animal, or thing. Just like in English, adjectives in Hindi can describe color, size, shape, and more.
Important Points
- Adjectives must match the gender of the noun they describe.
- Adjectives must also match the number of the noun (singular or plural).
- Some adjectives do not change with gender or number.
- Adjectives can describe colors, like 'लाल' (red).
- Adjectives can describe sizes, like 'बड़ा' (big).
- Adjectives can describe shapes, like 'गोल' (round).
In Hindi, adjectives usually come before the noun, just like in English. However, they must agree with the noun in gender and number, which means they might change their form depending on whether the noun is masculine or feminine, singular or plural.
Examples
- यह लाल सेब है।
- वह बड़ी बिल्ली है।
- ये छोटे बच्चे हैं।
In the first example, 'लाल' (red) describes the noun 'सेब' (apple), which is masculine singular. In the second example, 'बड़ी' (big) describes 'बिल्ली' (cat), which is feminine singular. In the third example, 'छोटे' (small) describes 'बच्चे' (children), which is masculine plural.
