Talk about family and home in English: Hindi guide
Family ke rishte, ghar ke rooms aur saath rehne ki baat English mein karein. Hindi meanings, examples aur practice ke saath seekhein.
What you will practice
Aap apne ghar mein kaun rehta hai aur do rooms mein kya hota hai, yeh simple English mein bata paayenge.
Hindi aur English mein rishton ke naam hamesha ek jaise nahi hote. Pehle common English word seekhein; zaroorat ho toh rishta aur saaf batayein.
Apni family ke hisaab se examples badal sakte/sakti hain. Har ghar mein logon ki ginti aur rehne ka tareeka alag hota hai.
Family ke rishton ko kaise batayein
'Parents' ka matlab mother aur father dono hai. 'Siblings' mein brothers aur sisters aate hain. Ek ki baat ho toh 'parent' ya 'sibling' use karein.
'Cousin' chachere, mamere, mausere ya phuphere bhai ya behen ke liye ho sakta hai. English mein 'my cousin' kaafi hai; zaroorat par 'my aunt's daughter' jaise phrase se rishta saaf karein.
Ghar aur room ka fark samjhein
'Home' aapke rehne ki jagah hai; woh house ya flat ho sakti hai. 'Kitchen' khaana banaane ki jagah, 'bedroom' sone ka kamra aur 'living room' baithne ki jagah hoti hai.
Kisi room mein koi hai ya koi cheez rakhi hai toh 'in the kitchen' jaisa phrase use karein. Kiske saath rehte hain, yeh batane ke liye 'I live with...' use karein.
