Questions & Answers about मेरे पास सीखने का अवसर है।
Why does Hindi use मेरे पास for I have?
Hindi usually does not use a verb equivalent to English have in simple possession sentences.
So instead of saying I have X, Hindi often says:
- मेरे पास X है = With me / near me, there is X
In this sentence:
- मेरे पास = with me
- अवसर है = there is an opportunity
So the whole structure literally feels like:
- With me, an opportunity to learn exists
This is one of the most common Hindi patterns for possession.
Why is it मेरे and not मैं or मेरा?
Because पास is a postposition, and pronouns change form before postpositions.
The pronoun मैं changes to its oblique form मेरे before postpositions like:
- मेरे पास = with me
- मेरे लिए = for me
- मेरे साथ = with me
So:
- मैं = I
- मेरे = oblique form used before a postposition
It is not the same as possessive मेरा here.
You should think of मेरे पास as a fixed grammatical pattern meaning with me / in my possession.
