We just learned that in Hindi we are surprised is हम हैरान हैं (ham hairaan hain).
Let's learn about some of the things we see every day.
To say this house is big in Hindi you say यह घर बड़ा है (yah ghar bada hai).
In Hindi you are really saying "This house big is".
This - यह (yah) - sounds like yah - 文A
house - घर (ghar) - The "gh" in this sounds sort of like g-huh as one sound, gh-ah-r - 文A
big - बड़ा (bada) - sounds like bah-dah - 文A
is - है (hai) - sounds like hay - 文A
