Genders in Hindi
In Hindi grammar there are two genders, male and female. Nouns have either male or female gender and any adjective relating to a noun has to adjust its gender to the gender of the noun—somewhat like in French. Verbs also have male and female forms. Depending on who is acting, the verb will have to adopt the male form ♂ or female ♀ form.
How to represent gender while talking in Hindi
In Hindi when we represent a girl or female, we talk like:
| English | Hindi | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| she is going to market. | vah bazar ja rahi hai. | female | |
| He is going to market. | vah bazar ja raha hai. | male |
In English there is two different words for representing female and male she and he.
But in Hindi there is only one word for representing male and female but using of raha hai (represents male) and rahi hai (represents female).
