  1. Hi! This website is very useful to learn Hindi Language very soon. I Like to learn Hindi. Thru this site I can learn easily. Thank u.

  2. For the sentence “You were the President”, there is “tum President the” for male and “tum President thee” for female. Why is male not “tum President tha”. Also, with “Aap” is always “the”? Since President is singular why cant we use “thee” or “tha” with “aap”?
