प्रारंभिक स्टेशन से गंतव्य शहर दूर है।

Hindi word order is more flexible than English. A very common pattern is:

[reference phrase] + [thing being described] + [description] + है

So this sentence is structured as:

प्रारंभिक स्टेशन से + गंतव्य शहर + दूर + है

You could also say गंतव्य शहर प्रारंभिक स्टेशन से दूर है, and that would also be correct. Hindi allows this flexibility because the postposition से clearly marks the relationship.

दूर means far / distant, and है means is. Together, दूर है means is far.

Here दूर works as a predicate adjective: it describes the state of गंतव्य शहर. Hindi often uses adjectives this way with है, just like English uses is far.

These are formal, Sanskrit-derived adjectives, and they are usually invariable in modern Hindi. That means they normally stay the same regardless of gender or number.

So you can have:

• प्रारंभिक स्टेशन
• प्रारंभिक जगह
• गंतव्य शहर
• गंतव्य स्थान

The adjective does not change form.

This is different from changing adjectives such as अच्छा / अच्छी / अच्छे.

Yes. स्टेशन is borrowed from English, but it functions as a normal Hindi noun. It is usually treated as masculine.

Also, in the singular, its form does not change here, so:

• स्टेशन
• स्टेशन से

both look the same except for the added postposition से.

Hindi normally does not use articles like English a/an/the. Whether something is a station, the station, a city, or the city is understood from context.

So Hindi can simply say:

• प्रारंभिक स्टेशन
• गंतव्य शहर

without needing a separate word for the.

It is grammatical, but it sounds fairly formal. Words like प्रारंभिक and गंतव्य are common in written, official, or technical contexts.

In everyday speech, people might choose simpler wording or just use the actual station and city names. But as a formal sentence, प्रारंभिक स्टेशन से गंतव्य शहर दूर है। is perfectly fine.

Yes. That version is also correct and may even feel more straightforward to an English speaker, because it starts with the thing being described: the destination city.

So both are acceptable:

• प्रारंभिक स्टेशन से गंतव्य शहर दूर है।
• गंतव्य शहर प्रारंभिक स्टेशन से दूर है।

The meaning stays the same. The main difference is emphasis and flow, not grammar.
