Step 4 : The definite article in Hindi

The definite article is what we call the word the in English. The definite article is used with nouns in English (the book, the chair, the door etc.). Using the nouns kitab, kursi and darvaza (book, chair, door) which you learned in Step 3, learn how to use each noun with the definite article. This is easy in Hindi, because in Hindi, there is no definite article. So the word kitab can mean book or the book, the word kursi can mean chair or the chair and the word darvaza can mean door or the door. You can scroll to the top of this page to see a short lesson about the definite article in Hindi including useful examples. Once you have learned to use the definite article with the Hindi nouns kitab, kursi and darvaza, you're ready to move on to Step 5 (the plural in Hindi).
