Shared Perso-Arabic vocabulary (advantage!)

Hindi is full of words you already know — kitāb, dunyā, waqt, khabar, sawāl. Trust the cognates, but expect softened pronunciation (q→k, ʿain and ḥ disappear).

from your first language

Verb moves to the end

Arabic leads with the verb (VSO) or subject-verb; Hindi is strictly verb-FINAL. Flip your instinct: subject, object, then verb last.

from your first language

Ergative "ne" in the past

In Hindi perfective transitives the subject takes "ne" and the verb agrees with the OBJECT (maine kitāb paṛhī) — unlike Arabic, where the verb always tracks the doer. Drill it as a fixed pattern.

from your first language

Left-to-right script, vowels always written

Devanagari runs left-to-right and every vowel is spelled out as a mātrā — no inferring vowels from the pattern. Slow down and read each vowel sign; nothing is hidden.

core challenge

Noun gender + agreement

Hindi nouns are masculine or feminine, and adjectives AND verbs agree with them (achchhā laṛkā / achchhī laṛkī).

core challenge

Postpositions (ne/ko/se/mein/par)

Hindi marks roles with postpositions AFTER the noun, where English uses prepositions before it.
