PUTTING TOGETHER HINDI VOWELS AND CONSONANTS

Now that you’ve met all the vowels and consonants, it’s time to put them together to make words! Just like a puzzle, where every piece fits perfectly to create a picture.

Combining vowels and consonants in Hindi lets you create beautiful words and sentences.

HOW TO COMBINE HINDI VOWELS AND CONSONANTS

In Hindi, when a Vowel and a Consonant come together, they create new sounds! Let’s see how it works:

Consonant + ?: The consonant stays the same.
Example: ? (ka)

Consonant + ?: Add a vertical line after the consonant.
Example: ?? (kaa)

Consonant + ?: Add a small line before the consonant.
Example: ?? (ki)

Consonant + ?: Add a small line after the consonant.
Example: ?? (kee)

Consonant + ?: Add a small hook underneath the consonant.
Example: ?? (ku)

Consonant + ?: Add a longer hook underneath the consonant.
Example: ?? (koo)

Consonant + ?: Add a horizontal line and a small curve before the consonant.
Example: ?? (ke)

Consonant + ?: Add a horizontal line and a bigger curve before the consonant.
Example: ?? (kai)

Consonant + ?: Add a vertical line and a small curve after the consonant.
Example: ?? (ko)

Consonant + ?: Add a vertical line and a bigger curve after the consonant.
Example: ?? (kau)

By mixing and matching these sounds, you can create words like ??? (kamal), ???? (gaadi), ????? (pakshi), and many more.

It’s like magic—just with letters!
