Level 1Sounds Like mēṁ

में comes after a noun and means in.

How It Works

में means in or inside.

It follows the noun: घर में (in the house), not में घर.

For home, speakers often use the -े ending instead: हम घरे बानी. For places like a shop or a roof, use पर: दुकान पर, छत पर.

Use में when something is inside. If it is on a surface, use पर. If it comes from somewhere, use से.

I live in Patna.
