Questions & Answers about मैं बारिश में गरज सुनती हूँ।

Why is में used in बारिश में?

में is a postposition, and here it means in or during.

So बारिश में means something like:

• in the rain
• during the rain

A useful thing to notice is that Hindi uses postpositions after a noun, where English uses prepositions before a noun.

• English: in the rain
• Hindi: बारिश में

Why is the word order different from English?

Hindi usually follows Subject–Object–Verb order, while English usually follows Subject–Verb–Object.

So in this sentence:

• मैं = subject
• बारिश में = prepositional/postpositional phrase
• गरज = object
• सुनती हूँ = verb

That is why the sound being heard comes before the verb. In Hindi, the verb normally comes near the end.

Why is the verb written as सुनती हूँ in two words?
