Start here: build sentences (word order + core patterns)
Learn the default word order and memorize a handful of high‑frequency sentence patterns.
Default word order
Hindi is typically Subject–Object–Verb (SOV). Postpositions often follow nouns (घर में = ‘in the house’).
- Start with short sentences and keep the pattern consistent.
- Copy a native pattern, then swap one word at a time.
Core sentences to memorize
These are extremely reusable. Read them aloud, then change one word (water → coffee, bathroom → station…).
मैं यहाँ हूँ।
main yahan hoon
I am here.
मुझे पानी चाहिए।
mujhe paani chahiye
I want/need water.
मैं नहीं समझता।
main nahi samajhta
I don't understand. (masc. speaker; use समझती for fem.)
क्या आप अंग्रेज़ी बोलते हैं?
kya aap angrezi bolte hain
