के for Possession

Showing Possession with के

Level 1Sounds Like kē (sambandha)

के between two nouns means of or 's, and it never changes for gender.

How It Works

के links two nouns. The first noun owns or describes the second.

In Hindi, के changes to का or की. In Bhojpuri it stays के whatever you own.

For pronouns, use the possessive words: हमार, तोहार, ओकर. Do not say हम के.

In some writing you may see का for के before another postposition. This is written style and you do not need it in speech.

ई नेहा के घर ह।
This is Neha's house.
के links नेहा and घर.
चाय के दुकान सात बजे खुलेला।
The tea shop opens at seven.
के shows the kind of shop.
अमित के बहिन स्कूल जाली।
Amit's sister goes to school.
के does not change for a feminine word.
गाँव के लइका खेलत बाड़ें।
The village boys are playing.
के marks where the boys are from.
रेल के टिकट महँग बा।
The train ticket is expensive.
के between two things.

Using Hindi का and की.

ई नेहा के किताब ह।
Bhojpuri के does not change.
