Big idea: Postpositions + the oblique form (and a taste of ने): Postpositions: noun + postposition

Hindi uses postpositions (में/पर/से/को/के…) after nouns, often requiring an “oblique” noun/pronoun form.

Postpositions: noun + postposition

Think of postpositions as ‘prepositions that come after’. Learn them as chunks.
