मोमबत्ती केक पर है।

Word by word:

• मोमबत्ती = candle
• केक = cake
• पर = on
• है = is

So the structure is literally candle cake on is, which is natural in Hindi.

Because Hindi uses postpositions, not prepositions.

In English, you say on the cake.
In Hindi, you say केक पर, literally cake on.

So:

• English: on the cake
• Hindi: केक पर

This is a very common pattern in Hindi:

• मेज़ पर = on the table
• घर में = in the house
• किताब के नीचे = under the book

Hindi usually prefers Subject + place/location + verb.

So:

• मोमबत्ती = subject
• केक पर = location
• है = verb

That gives:

मोमबत्ती केक पर है।

This is normal Hindi word order. English usually says The candle is on the cake, but Hindi puts the location before है.

Hindi normally does not use articles like a/an/the the way English does.

So मोमबत्ती can mean:

• a candle
• the candle

and केक can mean:

• a cake
• the cake

The exact meaning depends on context.

If needed, Hindi can use other words to clarify, such as:

• एक मोमबत्ती = a/one candle
• वह मोमबत्ती = that candle

But in a simple sentence like this, no article is necessary.

है is the present-tense form of to be for a singular subject in this kind of sentence.

Here it means is.

So:

• मोमबत्ती ... है = The candle ... is

If the subject were plural, you would use हैं instead:

• मोमबत्तियाँ केक पर हैं। = The candles are on the cake.

Yes, मोमबत्ती is a feminine noun.

In this sentence, gender does not visibly change anything important, because the verb is है, which is the same for masculine and feminine singular in the present tense.

But gender matters in many other situations, especially with adjectives or past forms.

For example:

• बड़ी मोमबत्ती = big candle
  (बड़ी agrees with the feminine noun)

So it is useful to learn मोमबत्ती as feminine.

After a postposition like पर, Hindi nouns often go into the oblique form.

However, some nouns do not show a visible change, and केक is one of them here.

So:

• direct form: केक
• oblique form: केक
  (same appearance)

This is especially common with many borrowed words and with nouns that do not have a distinct visible oblique form.

It is a loanword used in Hindi. It comes from English cake, but it is completely normal in everyday Hindi.

Hindi often uses borrowed words, especially for modern items, food, technology, and so on.

So केक is perfectly natural Hindi vocabulary.

A simple learner-friendly pronunciation guide is:

• मोमबत्ती ≈ moam-bat-tee / mom-bat-tee
• केक ≈ kek (like English cake but usually without a strong glide)
• पर ≈ par / pər
• है ≈ hai (rhymes roughly with eye, though often shorter in connected speech)

A rough full pronunciation: mom-bat-tee kek par hai

Yes, you can.

• केक पर = on the cake
• केक के ऊपर = above/on top of the cake

In many contexts, both can work.
But पर is the simpler, more direct way to say on.

So for a basic sentence, मोमबत्ती केक पर है। is the most straightforward choice.

In standard Hindi, you should keep है.

So the correct full sentence is:

मोमबत्ती केक पर है।

In casual speech, people may sometimes shorten things depending on context, but learners should use है here.

That mark is called the danda.

It is the traditional Hindi full stop, and it works like an English period:

• मोमबत्ती केक पर है।

In informal digital writing, many people also use a regular period ., but । is the standard mark in Hindi writing.

You would change both the noun and the verb:

• मोमबत्तियाँ केक पर हैं। = The candles are on the cake.

Changes:

• मोमबत्ती → मोमबत्तियाँ = candles
• है → हैं = are

So singular and plural are:

• मोमबत्ती केक पर है। = The candle is on the cake.
• मोमबत्तियाँ केक पर हैं। = The candles are on the cake.
