Word order (SVO→SOV)

Mandarin is verb-medial (我吃饭); Hindi puts the verb last (main khānā khātā hūn). Your 在家里-style "noun + locator" order DOES transfer — ghar mein works like 家里.

Verbs suddenly conjugate

Mandarin verbs never change; Hindi verbs carry person, number, gender and tense (khātā/khātī/khāte/khāyā). Budget real practice for endings — time words alone won’t carry the sentence.

from your first language

Ergative "ne" in the past

With completed transitive actions Hindi adds "ne" to the subject and the verb agrees with the OBJECT — think of it as a mandatory 把-like restructuring, but marked on the subject. Drill maine + object + agreed verb as a chunk.

from your first language

No tones — free pitch, but stress matters

Hindi pitch never changes word meaning, so stop encoding tone per syllable; instead vowel LENGTH is contrastive (kam vs kām). Redirect your tonal ear to long-vs-short vowels.

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.
