Questions & Answers about कपड़ों की टोकरी ऊपर है।

What is the structure of कपड़ों की टोकरी?

It is a genitive phrase meaning literally basket of clothes.

• कपड़ों = of clothes
• की = genitive marker, like of
• टोकरी = basket

So the whole noun phrase works like the clothes basket or the basket of clothes.

Why is it कपड़ों, not कपड़े?

Because कपड़े changes to the oblique plural form कपड़ों before a postposition.

In Hindi, nouns often have:

• a direct form
• an oblique form, used before postpositions

Here, की is a postposition/genitive marker, so कपड़े becomes कपड़ों.

A quick pattern:

• कपड़ा = a cloth / a garment
• कपड़े = clothes
• कपड़ों = of clothes

Why is it की, not का or के?

Because का / की / के agrees with the noun that comes after it, not with कपड़ों.

The noun after it is टोकरी, which is:

• feminine
• singular
