Sangya (Noun)

In this lesson, we will learn about Sangya, which refers to nouns in Hindi. Nouns are words that represent people, places, things, or ideas. Let's get started!

• Classification of Nouns:

  In Hindi, nouns are classified into four categories based on their gender. These categories are:

• पुल्लिंग (Masculine Gender): Nouns that represent male beings or objects.
• स्त्रीलिंग (Feminine Gender): Nouns that represent female beings or objects.
• नपुंसकलिंग (Common Gender): Nouns that can represent both males and females.
• नपुंसक (Neuter Gender): Nouns that represent objects or things without any gender.

• Examples of Nouns:

  Here are some examples of nouns in Hindi:

• पुल्लिंग (Masculine Gender):

  • लड़का (ladka) - boy
  • पिता (pita) - father
  • भाई (bhai) - brother

• स्त्रीलिंग (Feminine Gender):

  • लड़की (ladki) - girl
  • माता (mata) - mother
  • बहन (behan) - sister

• नपुंसकलिंग (Common Gender):

  • शिक्षक (shikshak) - teacher (can be both male or female)
  • बच्चा (baccha) - child (can be both boy or girl)
  • व्यक्ति (vyakti) - person (can be both male or female)

• नपुंसक (Neuter Gender):

  • किताब (kitab) - book
  • घर (ghar) - house
  • पेड़ (ped) - tree

• Singular and Plural Nouns:

  In Hindi, singular nouns represent one person, place, thing, or idea, while plural nouns represent more than one. To form the plural of most nouns, we add "एं" (en) or "अ" (a) to the singular form. Here are some examples:

• Singular: लड़का (ladka) - boy Plural: लड़के (ladke) - boys

• Singular: किताब (kitab) - book Plural: किताबें (kitaben) - books

• Gender of Nouns:

  It's important to remember that the gender of nouns in Hindi doesn't always correspond to the biological gender of the object or being they represent. The gender of a noun is a grammatical classification. For example, the word "शिक्षक" (shikshak) can represent both male and female teachers.

• Usage of Nouns:

  Nouns play an important role in constructing sentences. They can be used as the subject, object, or possessive form. For example:

• Subject: लड़का पढ़ रहा है। (The boy is reading.)

• Object: मैंने बहुत सारी किताबें खरीदी। (I bought many books.)

• Possessive: राम की किताब है। (It is Ram's book.)
