As a Nepali language teacher of 20 years, I am excited to introduce you to Nepali nouns! In this lesson, you will learn the different types of Nepali nouns, their genders, and their usage in sentences. By the end of this lesson, you will be one step closer to mastering Nepali and reaching the A1 level. Let's get started!
Nepali Nouns
In Nepali, nouns are classified by gender, specifically masculine and feminine. Masculine nouns are followed by the suffix "o", while feminine nouns are followed by the suffix "i". Here are some examples:
| Nepali (individual language) | Pronunciation | English Translation |
|---|---|---|
| छोरा (masc) | chhōrā | boy |
| बालिका (fem) | bālikā | girl |
| घर (masc) | ghar | house |
| फूल (masc) | phūl | flower |
| रानी (fem) | rānī | queen |
It is important to note that some nouns do not fall into either category and are considered neutral. They usually have the suffix "ma". Here are some examples:
| Nepali (individual language) | Pronunciation | English Translation |
|---|---|---|
| आशा (neut) | āshā | hope |
| कथा (neut) | kathā | story |
| दोस्रो (neut) | dosro | second |
Usage in Sentences
Nouns in Nepali play an important role in sentence formation. They can be used as a subject, object, or possessive noun. Here are some examples:
- Subject Noun: छोरा स्कुल जान्छ (The boy goes to school)
- Object Noun: मेरो फोन गुम भएको छ (My phone is lost)
- Possessive Noun: रामको घर रातो छ (Ram's house is red)
It is important to note that Nepali is a subject-object-verb language. This means that the verb comes at the end of the sentence. For example, in the sentence "छोरा स्कुल जान्छ", the verb "जान्छ" (goes) comes at the end of the sentence.
In the next lesson, we will explore the different cases of Nepali nouns and how they are used in sentences. Keep practicing and don't forget to have fun while learning!
