कपड़े की क्लिप कपड़े सुखाने की रस्सी पर है।

A helpful breakdown is:

• कपड़े की क्लिप = a clothes clip / clothespin
• कपड़े सुखाने की रस्सी पर = on the rope for drying clothes
• है = is

So the Hindi word order is basically:

[clothespin] [on the clothes-drying rope] [is]

That final है is very typical, because Hindi often puts the verb at the end.

The two कपड़े words do different jobs:

• In कपड़े की क्लिप, it helps name the object: a clip used for clothes.
• In कपड़े सुखाने की रस्सी, it tells you what is being dried: clothes.

English often avoids this kind of repetition by using compact words like clothespin and clothesline, but Hindi commonly builds these ideas more transparently.

की is a form of का/की/के, which is often taught as of, but it also works in descriptive phrases.

So कपड़े की क्लिप is not just a strict ownership phrase. It means something like:

• clip for clothes
• clothes clip
• clothespin

The word क्लिप is usually treated as feminine in Hindi, so की is the form that fits here.

For the same basic reason: की matches the noun रस्सी, which is feminine.

कपड़े सुखाने की रस्सी literally means:

• rope for drying clothes

So this whole part is a descriptive noun phrase. It is not necessarily saying the rope belongs to the clothes. It is saying what kind of rope it is and what it is used for.

सुखाने comes from the verb सुखाना, which means to dry something.

In this sentence, सुखाने has the sense of:

• for drying
• to dry

So:

• कपड़े सुखाने की रस्सी = rope for drying clothes

This is a very common Hindi pattern:

• खाना बनाने का बर्तन = utensil for cooking food
• पानी पीने का गिलास = glass for drinking water

So सुखाने is functioning like for drying.

Because Hindi uses postpositions, not prepositions.

English says:

• on the rope

Hindi says:

• रस्सी पर
• literally, rope on

This is one of the biggest structural differences between English and Hindi. Very often, where English puts a small word before a noun, Hindi puts it after the noun.

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

So:

• ... पर है = is on ...

It comes at the end because Hindi usually puts the main verb last.

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

• क्लिपें रस्सी पर हैं = the clips are on the rope

In the present tense with है, Hindi does not show gender the way some other verb forms do.

So whether the subject is masculine or feminine, you still get:

• वह यहाँ है = he/she/it is here

In your sentence, क्लिप is feminine, but the verb still stays है because the present copula does not change for gender in the singular.

Hindi normally does not use articles like a, an, and the.

So कपड़े की क्लिप can mean:

• a clothes clip
• the clothes clip

And कपड़े सुखाने की रस्सी can mean:

• a clothesline
• the clothesline

Context tells you which one is meant. That is completely normal in Hindi.

Yes. क्लिप is a borrowed word from English, and Hindi uses many such everyday loanwords.

That is very common in modern spoken Hindi, especially for household items, technology, and urban vocabulary.

Depending on the speaker or region, you may hear more Hindi-sounding alternatives, but क्लिप is completely natural and common.

You might hear it in some contexts, but it can sound different in meaning.

• कपड़े की क्लिप is a common label-like way to mean clothes clip / clothespin
• कपड़ों की क्लिप can sound more like the clip of the clothes or a clip belonging/attached to some clothes

So for naming the object itself, कपड़े की क्लिप is the more natural expression in this sentence.

Yes. Hindi often allows more than one natural phrasing. For example, people might also say things like:

• कपड़े की क्लिप रस्सी पर है।
• क्लिप कपड़े सुखाने वाली रस्सी पर है।

These are slightly different in style, but the original sentence is perfectly understandable and natural. The full version कपड़े सुखाने की रस्सी is just a very clear, descriptive way to say clothesline.
