Hindi Language Grammar

Hindi language grammar provides the systematic framework governing the structure of Hindi, an Indo-Aryan language written in the Devanagari script. Its core principles include a Subject-Object-Verb (SOV) word order, the use of postpositions instead of prepositions to indicate case and relationships, and a two-gender system for nouns (masculine and feminine). Verbs and adjectives are highly inflected, as they must agree in both gender and number with the nouns they relate to, creating a cohesive and logical system for expressing complex thoughts.
