हमार / हमनी के

My and Our

Level 1Sounds Like hamāra ā hamanī kē

हमार means my and हमनी के means our.

How It Works

Possessives come before the noun and never change for gender or number.

Meaning	No postposition	With a postposition
my	हमार किताब	हमरा किताब में
our	हमनी के घर	हमनी के घर में

Compare हमार माई (my mother) with हमरा माई से (from my mother). The change to हमरा happens only when a postposition such as में, से or के follows.

Your (तोहार) and his or her (ओकर) work the same way.

Do not mix हमार with Hindi मेरा. The everyday Bhojpuri word for my is हमार, or हमरा before a postposition.

ई हमार किताब ह।
This is my book.
हमार before किताब.
हमार माई रोज सबेरे उठेली।
My mother gets up early every day.
हमार does not change for a woman.
हमरा घर में चाय बा।
There is tea in my house.
हमरा appears because में follows.
हमनी के गाँव बड़ नीक बा।
Our village is very nice.
हमनी के for our.
हमनी के स्कूल सात बजे खुलेला।
Our school opens at seven.
The same word before स्कूल.

Using हमार before a postposition.
