— the mistakes your language makes you commit

Word order (SVO→SOV)

French keeps the verb after the subject ("je mange du riz"); Hindi pushes it to the very end (main chāval khātā hūn). Build the sentence backwards from the verb.

Postpositions, not prepositions

French "à Paris, avec lui" put the marker BEFORE the noun; Hindi flips it — dillī mein, us ke sāth. Say the noun first, then attach the marker.

Gender agrees on the VERB

French gender lives on articles and adjectives; Hindi extends it to everyday verb forms (laṛkā jātā hai / laṛkī jātī hai). And don’t trust French genders — Hindi reassigns them.

No le/la — definiteness via ko

Hindi has no articles, so drop le/la entirely; a definite object is often signalled with "ko" instead (kitāb ko paṛho = read THE book).

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.
