पर

On or at

Level 1Sounds Like para

पर comes after a noun and means on or at.

How It Works

पर means on or at.

UseExample
on a surfaceमेज पर, छत पर
at a placeदुकान पर, स्टेशन पर

In speech you may hear प instead of पर, as in छत प. Lessons write पर.

Compare the three small words: में is inside, पर is on or at, से is from. Choose by where the thing sits.

पर follows the noun: मेज पर, not पर मेज. After a pronoun, use the changed form: ओकरा पर (on him).

Use पर for a person's place too: ऊ दुकान पर बाड़ें (he is at the shop).
