Can't explain how many confusion got cleared up. That part of my brain turned from cloudy to sunny. Thank you.

[@HindiSumvaad]

I agree that this aspect in Hindi language is very perplexing. Which Hindi nouns are you often confused about? 🤔 Comment and let's find out!! 😀

[@ajithsarkar9609]

What's shirt? Masculine or feminine ?

[@HindiSumvaad]

@@ajithsarkar9609 Shirt is considered feminine.. the Hindi word is kameez.. mere paas hari kameez hai (I have a green shirt).

[@HEMANTHKUMAR-uh5oo]

[@HindiSumvaad]

[@learnurduwithsara1068]

Great lesson. I feel like memorizing genders of nouns is the most difficult thing for Hind/Urdu learners.

[@HindiSumvaad]

Exactly! It's very difficult to explain the reason behind it.

[@maryanderson6208]

Although the Hindi language is difficult but you as a teacher make it easier to grasp Thank you.

[@erroldcruz]

I loved your approach to this most challenging aspect of Hindi for non-native speakers! And for those who were brought up speaking English, like me, it's double the challenge. Why? Because English is one of only 6 or 7 languages that do not have gender for verb conjugation, adjectives, and inanimate objects. I think instant recognition of the gender of objects by native speakers is a miracle of nature! It's not just recognition of known objects but consider the case of a new word or a rare word... tell me Firdaus what gender is Paleontologist?? Or, say, entropy? When you use them without translation in a Hindi sentence? I'm sure you will get it right! That's the miracle I'm referring to. And that's the miracle I experience around me among native Hindi speakers... even little kids!

[@RevancedYou4]

The instant recognition ain't a miracle , if you keep practicing you'll automatically feel what feminine and masculine is , I'm a native Hindi speaker I also find it illogical to determine genders of those which have no gender . 😂 But I face many problems when I listen to native English speakers 😢, and watch English movies.

[@RevancedYou4]

'Paleontologists' is masculine and entropy is feminine .

[@nikhilawasthi2597]

Hindi is a fairly easy to moderate language in learning but it is a notoriously difficult language to master and by mastery I mean being able to sound/comprehend like a native speaker. The reasons are as follows : - Absolute absence of Neuter Gender and necessity to have verbs agree to it correct gender all the times and sometimes even adjectives and adverbs have to do too. - Sometimes it may not also sound as it is written especially so if an 'H' sound is preceded by a letter without any diacritical mark (Matra). In such cases a soft 'e' sound gets added to that first letter which is not found in writing. for example - Kehna, Rehna, Pehen, Behen etc. This is somewhat less observed in Hindi spoken in Bihar and adjoining areas of Eastern India but In North and Central India you can find this with ease. - The f*** 'Nukta' - that small dot that appears below a word and completely alters the sound of that word. 😊 - The huge vocab - multiple words that mean the same thing but sound completely alien to each other because one traces roots to Sanskrit/Prakrit while other traces it to Persian/Arabic and the listener is clueless about both mean the same. ☹️ like Vinod/Vyang/Chutkula/Lateefa all mean a Joke. Ghatna/Vakiya/Kissa all mean an incident. And there are many many more.

[@Devan.dev2503]

Thankyou sis.....❤❤🙏🙏✨✨

[@gothfather1]

When I was learning Hindi many years ago I remember there were some basic rules for determining the gender of nouns based on the type of word. Besides learning the ending -aa or -ii, there are some other clues that can help. Here is what I can share about the same: 1- Common Categories for the Masculine Gender in Hindi 1) Days’ Names 2) Month Names 3) Names of Mountains 4) Names of Trees, Flowers, and Fruits 5) Names of Countries and Continents 6) Names of the Metals 7) Names of the Planets 2- Common Categories for the Feminine Gender in Hindi 1) Dates 2) Names of Rivers 3) Names of Languages and Scripts 4) Names with Certain Suffixes (If you find words that end with the following suffixes--आहट (aahat), -आवट (aavat), -इया (iyaa), -आस (aaS)-they’re most likely feminine nouns in Hindi.) There are exceptions of course, but I believe it is easier to learn the basic rules and then the exceptions rather than treating everything as an exception.

Mam you explain well. I'm a Bengali speaker so I can't understand everything in Hindi but the problem is when I do speak or write I just mix up the gender and plural form of verbs, adjective. What should I keep in my mind while speaking and writing.

[@HindiSumvaad]

Thank you so much Bikram. You should essentially keep the gender and singular/ plural in mind while writing or speaking. I understand that is a challenging part. I'm working on a video on this topic. Meanwhile, you must learn the genders and plural forms and speak like how native speakers (those who are good at grammar) do.

[@trishabanerjee07]

Hi , i have a doubt that how to use "aata and aati" these two ..

Iam a Male, if 'baat' is feminine so shall I speak Main baat kar rha tha or Main baat kar rhi thi I mean do gender of a speaker concerns the object he or she is implying Plz Answer

[@HindiSumvaad]

You must speak - Main baat kar raha tha. Main baat kar raha tha - means the speaker is male Main baat kar rahi thi - means the speaker is female We mostly follow subject and verb agreement where you end with the action word depending upon the gender of the speaker. Here, it's main.. so, 'tha' also relates to 'main'. There are only a few exceptions.

Morni is peacock… Things are sometimes confusing, pani barish , ankhe, naina

Hi, I agree they are confusing. However, you'll have to just know and accept their respective gender. Morni is peahen (f.) whereas mor is peacock (m.) Pani is masculine whereas baarish is feminine. Ankhein is pl. feminine whereas naina is pl. masculine

[@HindiSumvaad]

Also, maata is feminine whereas pita is masculine. Together, maata-pita is considered plural masculine.
