कपड़े की क्लिपों से रंगीन कपड़े टाँगिए।

They are doing two different jobs.

• In कपड़े की क्लिपों, कपड़े is part of the expression meaning clothespins / clothes clips.
• In रंगीन कपड़े, कपड़े means clothes / garments — the things being hung.

So even though the same word appears twice, the first is inside a noun phrase meaning clothespins, and the second refers to the actual clothes.

Because क्लिप is a feminine noun in Hindi, so the genitive marker agrees with क्लिप, not with कपड़े.

• masculine singular: का
• feminine singular/plural: की
• masculine plural/oblique: के

Here the head noun is क्लिप (feminine), so Hindi uses की:

• कपड़े की क्लिप = a clothes clip / clothespin

Even though क्लिपों is plural in the full sentence, this kind of compound often keeps की with feminine nouns in this lexicalized expression.

Because क्लिप is plural and oblique here.

The postposition से follows it, and nouns before a postposition usually go into the oblique form.

So:

• singular direct: क्लिप
• plural direct: क्लिपें
• plural oblique: क्लिपों

That gives:

• क्लिपों से = with the clips / using clips

This is a very common pattern in Hindi:

• लड़कों से
• किताबों में
• दोस्तों के साथ

Here से means with, by means of, or using.

So:

• क्लिपों से = with clothespins / using clothespins

This is the normal Hindi way to express the tool or instrument used to do something.

Other examples:

• चाकू से काटिए = cut with a knife
• कलम से लिखिए = write with a pen

Because रंगीन is a common adjective meaning colored / colorful, and it is usually treated as indeclinable here — that is, it often does not change form for gender or number.

So you can have:

• रंगीन कपड़ा
• रंगीन कपड़े
• रंगीन साड़ी

By contrast, some adjectives do change form, such as:

• अच्छा / अच्छी / अच्छे

So रंगीन stays the same, while कपड़े changes according to number/case as needed.

टाँगिए is a polite imperative form, used for giving a respectful instruction or request, usually with आप.

So:

• टाँगो = hang! (informal, तुम)
• टाँगिए = please hang / hang (polite, आप)

This makes the sentence sound like an instruction, direction, or polite command:

• रंगीन कपड़े टाँगिए। = Hang the colored clothes.

This form is very common in instructions, signs, recipes, and polite speech.

The base verb is टाँगना, which means to hang.

From that verb:

• infinitive: टाँगना
• polite imperative: टाँगिए

So the sentence is using the command form of टाँगना.

You may also see the spelling टांगिए. The version with ाँ reflects the nasalized vowel more clearly.

Grammatically, it matches the polite pronoun आप, which can refer to:

• one person respectfully, or
• more than one person

So टाँगिए can mean:

• please hang (to one person, politely)
• please hang (to several people)

Hindi polite verb forms often work for both singular and plural आप.

Hindi usually does not have articles like a or the.

So nouns like क्लिपों and कपड़े can mean:

• clothespins / the clothespins
• colored clothes / the colored clothes

The exact meaning depends on context.

This is normal in Hindi. English requires articles much more often than Hindi does.

Hindi often places the tool/instrument phrase before the object and puts the verb at the end.

So the structure is:

• कपड़े की क्लिपों से = with clothespins
• रंगीन कपड़े = colored clothes
• टाँगिए = hang

That gives the full sentence:

• With clothespins, hang the colored clothes.

Hindi word order is flexible, but putting the verb at the end is very typical.

Yes. Hindi allows some flexibility.

For example, you could also hear:

• रंगीन कपड़े कपड़े की क्लिपों से टाँगिए।

That order may feel a bit more straightforward to an English speaker because the object comes first. But the original order is also natural, especially in instructional style.

The main thing that stays stable is that the verb usually comes last.

Good question. Learners often expect कपड़ों की क्लिपें because कपड़ों is the regular plural oblique form before a postposition or genitive marker.

But कपड़े की क्लिप is often used as a fixed expression meaning clothespin / clothes clip. In such compound-like expressions, Hindi does not always behave like a fully literal phrase.

So it is best to learn कपड़े की क्लिप as a vocabulary item meaning:

• clothespin
• clothes clip

You may still encounter variations in speech, but this version is very natural.

A rough guide:

• क्लिपों ≈ kli-pon
  • the ों gives an õ / on sound
• टाँगिए ≈ taaṅ-gi-ye
  • टाँ has a nasalized vowel
  • गिए sounds roughly like gi-ye

So the full sentence is roughly:

• kapṛe kī klipõ se raṅgīn kapṛe ṭāṅgiye

If you want, you can think of टाँगिए as three parts:

• टाँग
  • ि
    • ए

But for speaking, it is best to learn it as one unit.

No, क्लिप is a borrowing from English clip.

Hindi uses many English loanwords in everyday speech, especially for household objects and modern items. The borrowed noun is then treated according to Hindi grammar, which is why you get forms like:

• क्लिप
• क्लिपें
• क्लिपों

So the word is English in origin, but its grammar here is fully Hindi.

It is an instructional imperative sentence — basically a polite command or direction.

That is why it sounds like something from:

• a worksheet
• a language exercise
• an instruction manual
• a teacher’s direction
• a sign or notice

The polite imperative टाँगिए is what gives it that instructional tone.
