Questions & Answers about पैंट रंगीन है।

Why is पैंट treated as singular here, when English pants is plural?

In Hindi, पैंट usually refers to one garment / one pair of trousers and is treated as a singular noun.

So:

• पैंट रंगीन है। = one pair of pants is colorful
• पैंटें रंगीन हैं। = multiple pairs of pants are colorful

This is a common difference between English and Hindi: the English word pants is grammatically plural, but Hindi पैंट is usually singular.

Is पैंट masculine or feminine in Hindi?

पैंट is usually feminine in standard Hindi.

That is why you would say things like:

• मेरी पैंट = my pants
• नई पैंट = new pants

You generally just have to learn the gender of borrowed nouns like this, because it is not always predictable from the form alone.

Why is the adjective रंगीन after the noun instead of before it?

Because in this sentence, रंगीन is being used as a predicate adjective with है.

Hindi often follows this pattern:

noun + adjective + है

So:

• पैंट रंगीन है। literally: The pants colorful is

But if the adjective comes directly before the noun, it works more like colorful pants:

• रंगीन पैंट = colorful pants

So the difference is:

• रंगीन पैंट = colorful pants
• पैंट रंगीन है = the pants are colorful
