— the mistakes your language makes you commit

Word order (SVO→SOV)

Indonesian is verb-medial (saya makan nasi); Hindi is verb-final (main chāval khātā hūn). Re-order every sentence so the verb lands last.

from your first language

Verbs conjugate — a lot

Indonesian shows time with sudah/akan and never touches the verb; Hindi bakes tense, person, number AND gender into the verb ending. Expect this to be your main grammar effort.

from your first language

Grammatical gender from zero

Indonesian has no gender anywhere; Hindi genders every noun and echoes it on adjectives and verbs (achchhā/achchhī). Learn each noun with its gender from day one.

from your first language

Markers move behind the noun

Indonesian di/ke/dari sit before the noun; Hindi mein/ko/se sit AFTER it (di rumah → ghar mein). Same job, opposite side.

from your first language

Doubling exists — but means something else

Hindi doubles words too, but for distribution or vividness (ghar-ghar = in every house, garam-garam = piping hot), NOT for plural. Plural is a noun ending (laṛkā→laṛke), not buku-buku style doubling.

core challenge

Noun gender + agreement

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