We will learn how to compare things in Hindi using Hindi adjectives.
In the previous lessons, we saw different types of Hindi adjectives.
For example:
- Adjectives on colors : मेरा पेन काला है | (meraa pen kaalaa hai) = My pen is black
- Adjectives on quantities : मेरा पेन बड़ा है | (meraa pen badaa hai) = My pen is big
- Adjectives on appearance : मेरा पेन सुन्दर है | (meraa pen sundar hai) = My pen is beautiful
- Adjectives on numerals : यह मेरा पहला पेन है | (yah meraa pahalaa pen hai) = This is my first pen
Now, we will see how to use these adjectives to compare nouns in Hindi
In Hindi, we compare two nouns by adding suffix -से (se) to the noun we want to be compared with.
For example
पीटर मोनिका से बड़ा है | (peter monikaa se badaa hai) = Peter is bigger than Monika.
मोनिका पीटर से बड़ी है | (monikaa peter se badee hai) = Monika is bigger than Peter.
मेरा भाई पीटर से लम्बा है | (meraa bhai peter se lambaa hai) = My brother is taller than Peter.
मेरी बहन पीटर से लम्बी है | (meree bahan peter se lambee hai) = My sister is taller than Peter
मैं तुम से लम्बा/लम्बी हूँ | (main tum se lambaa/lambee hoon) = I am taller than you.
मैं आप से गोरा हूँ | ( main aap se goraa hoon) = I am fairer than you.
पीटर हम से चालाक है | (peter ham se chaalak hai) = Peter is cleverer than us.
