In this lesson, we will learn how to use "aapkaa," "aapki," and "aapke" to express "you have" in Hindi. The choice depends on the gender and number of the noun. The diagram below shows how these forms relate to "your" in English for easy understanding.
You have आपका aapkaa आपकी aapki आपके aapke

Detailed Explanation and Examples for You have "आपका" (aapkaa)

Hindi: "आपका" (aapkaa)

English: "You have"

Usage: In Hindi, there is no direct word for "have" like in English. Instead, possession is expressed using "का" (ka), "की" (ki), or "के" (ke), which change based on the gender and number of the thing you "have" (the possessed noun), not the person who has it. This category of possession applies to relationships (like brother or son), body parts (like hand or eye), and any kind of arrangements (like a meeting or exam). "आपका" (aapkaa) is a specific form used when "you have" something that is masculine and singular.

Here's the step-by-step explanation for forming sentences like "You have a brother":

Sentence Structure: To construct a sentence indicating possession, such as "You have a brother," the following structure is used:

1. Subject (You): "आप" (You) - “आप” (aap) means “you,” a polite and formal way to say “you,” used for all genders and numbers.

2. Have: We use "का" because "भाई" is masculine singular.

3. Combining: "आप" (You) + "का" (Have) = "आपका" (You have) - “आपका” (aapkaa) means “you have” for masculine singular nouns.

4. Article (a/one): "एक" for singular nouns. - “एक” (ek) means “a” or “one,” optional but clarifies singularity.

5. Possessed Noun: The noun which is being possessed – brother (भाई) - “भाई” (bhai) is masculine singular, matching “आपका”

6. Be Verb (is): "है" is used for singular nouns matching with the possessed noun "भाई"
