Questions & Answers about यह डेटा पैक सस्ता है।
Why is the sentence order यह डेटा पैक सस्ता है instead of something more like English?
Hindi usually puts the verb at the end of the sentence. So the basic pattern here is:
- यह = this
- डेटा पैक = data pack
- सस्ता = cheap/inexpensive
- है = is
So Hindi often builds a sentence like:
This data pack cheap is.
That sounds strange in English, but it is normal in Hindi.
What does यह mean here, and how is it used?
यह means this. It is used for something near the speaker, just like English this.
Examples:
- यह फोन अच्छा है। = This phone is good.
- यह डेटा पैक सस्ता है। = This data pack is cheap.
In everyday speech, यह is very often pronounced more like ये / yeh, even though the spelling here is यह.
Why is it सस्ता and not सस्ती or सस्ते?
The adjective सस्ता changes form to agree with the noun it describes.
Here, the key noun is पैक, which is treated as masculine singular in Hindi. Because of that, the adjective takes the masculine singular form:
- सस्ता = masculine singular
- सस्ती = feminine singular
- सस्ते = masculine plural, or sometimes masculine singular in oblique contexts
So:
- यह पैक सस्ता है। = This pack is cheap.
- यह बोतल सस्ती है। = This bottle is cheap.
Even though डेटा is also in the phrase, पैक is the main noun, so the adjective agrees with पैक.
How do I know that पैक is the noun controlling the adjective?
In डेटा पैक, the word पैक is the head noun, and डेटा works like a modifier telling you what kind of pack it is.
So the phrase is basically:
- data pack not
- pack data
Because पैक is the main noun, सस्ता agrees with पैक, not with डेटा.
This is similar to English:
- in coffee cup, the main noun is cup
- in data pack, the main noun is pack
What exactly does है do in this sentence?
है is the present-tense form of to be for a singular subject. Here it means is.
So:
- यह डेटा पैक सस्ता है। = This data pack is cheap.
Compare:
- यह अच्छा है। = This is good.
- वे अच्छे हैं। = They are good.
So है = is and हैं = are in many common contexts.
Can I leave out है?
In normal standard Hindi, you usually keep है in a sentence like this.
So the full correct sentence is:
- यह डेटा पैक सस्ता है।
If you say only:
- यह डेटा पैक सस्ता it sounds incomplete in standard speech.
You might see the verb omitted in ads, headlines, or very casual contexts, but learners should normally include है.
Why are डेटा and पैक written in Devanagari if they come from English?
Hindi often borrows English words but writes them in the Devanagari script.
So:
- डेटा = data
- पैक = pack
This is very common in modern Hindi, especially for technology, business, and telecom vocabulary.
Other examples:
- फोन = phone
- टिकट = ticket
- बैटरी = battery
So even though the words are originally English, they can behave like normal Hindi words in a sentence.
How is यह pronounced? Is it yah or yeh?
In careful spelling, it is written यह. In actual speech, it is very often pronounced yeh.
So learners will often hear:
- yeh data pack sasta hai
You may also see yah in some textbook transliterations, but yeh is much closer to common everyday pronunciation.
How do I pronounce the whole sentence?
A simple learner-friendly pronunciation is:
yeh de-taa paik sas-taa hai
A few notes:
- यह sounds like yeh
- डेटा sounds like day-taa or deh-taa, depending on the speaker
- पैक is often approximated as paik
- सस्ता = sas-taa
- है often sounds like hai
Don’t worry if your pronunciation is not perfect at first. Native speakers will usually understand this sentence easily.
Does सस्ता always mean cheap in a negative sense?
Not necessarily. In Hindi, सस्ता can simply mean inexpensive or low-priced.
Depending on context, it can be:
- neutral: affordable / inexpensive
- negative: cheap in the sense of low quality
Here, with a data pack, it most naturally means inexpensive or cheap in a practical, price-related sense.
If you want to be more clearly positive, Hindi can also use words like:
- किफ़ायती = economical, budget-friendly
But सस्ता is very common and natural.
Would ये डेटा पैक सस्ता है also be correct?
In everyday speech, many speakers say ये where traditional grammar would expect यह.
So in conversation, you may hear:
- ये डेटा पैक सस्ता है।
However, in careful written Hindi, यह is the more standard singular form for this.
A useful learner rule is:
- यह = standard written singular this
- ये = often heard in speech for this, and also used for these
So for formal learning and writing, यह डेटा पैक sस्ता है is the safest form.
How would this sentence change if I wanted to say These data packs are cheap?
You would need to make both the subject and the adjective/verb plural:
- ये डेटा पैक सस्ते हैं।
Changes:
- यह → ये = these
- सस्ता → सस्ते = cheap, masculine plural
- है → हैं = are
So:
- यह डेटा पैक सस्ता है। = This data pack is cheap.
- ये डेटा पैक सस्ते हैं। = These data packs are cheap.
Is this a complete natural sentence in Hindi, or does it sound like textbook Hindi?
It sounds natural. A native speaker could absolutely say:
यह डेटा पैक सस्ता है।
Because telecom and internet vocabulary in Hindi often uses English loanwords, the sentence sounds modern and normal. It is especially natural in contexts like shopping, mobile plans, and advertisements.
