SOV + noun-then-marker transfer (advantage!)

Turkish and Hindi share verb-final order, and Turkish case suffixes map neatly onto Hindi postpositions: -de→mein, -e→ko, -den→se. Your sentence architecture carries over almost intact.

Gender agreement is completely new

Turkish has no gender ("o" covers he/she/it); Hindi genders every noun and agrees on adjectives and verbs (achchhā/achchhī, jātā/jātī). This is the biggest new system — attach a gender to every noun you learn.

Ergative "ne" vs accusative habit

Turkish marks the definite OBJECT (-ı) and the verb always agrees with the subject; Hindi perfective transitives instead mark the SUBJECT with "ne" and agree with the object. Flip the marking direction in past-tense sentences.

Postpositions are separate words, no harmony

Hindi markers don’t glue on or harmonise: it’s ghar mein as two words, one fixed form — no -de/-da/-te/-ta alternation. Simpler than Turkish; just don’t fuse them into the noun.

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.
