Understanding Hindi Interrogative Pronouns
Interrogative pronouns are special words we use when we want to ask questions. In Hindi, just like in English, these words help us find out more about things, people, places, and reasons.
Important Points
- What: In Hindi, we use 'क्या' (kya) to ask about things or actions.
- Who: To ask about people, we use 'कौन' (kaun).
- Which: When we want to choose between options, we use 'कौन सा/सी/से' (kaun sa/si/se).
- Where: To ask about places, we use 'कहाँ' (kahan).
- When: For asking about time, 'कब' (kab) is used.
- Why: To find out reasons, we use 'क्यों' (kyon).
- How: To ask about the manner or method, we use 'कैसे' (kaise).
These words are very helpful because they let us ask questions and learn more about the world around us. They can be used in many different situations, like when you're curious about something or when you need more information.
Examples
- तुम क्या कर रहे हो?
- कौन आ रहा है?
- तुम कहाँ जा रहे हो?
Remember, these pronouns change a little bit based on the gender or number of the noun they are referring to, especially 'कौन सा/सी/से'. So, it's always good to pay attention to who or what you're asking about!
