Questions & Answers about युगल के लिए जोड़ीदार चाहिए।
What does the sentence look like literally, word by word?
A very literal breakdown is:
- युगल = couple, pair
- के लिए = for
- जोड़ीदार = partner, counterpart, match
- चाहिए = is needed / is wanted / is required
So the structure is basically:
For the couple, a partner is needed.
Hindi often uses this kind of impersonal structure instead of wording it the same way English does.
Why is के लिए used here?
के लिए means for.
It shows who the needed thing is intended for. So:
- युगल के लिए = for the couple
This makes the sentence sound like a requirement or announcement:
- A partner is needed for the couple
That is slightly different in feel from saying that the couple themselves actively want something.
Why is it के लिए, not का लिए or की लिए?
Because के लिए is a fixed postpositional expression in Hindi.
You do not normally change it to का लिए or की लिए. The whole phrase stays के लिए, regardless of the gender of the noun before it:
- लड़के के लिए
- लड़की के लिए
- बच्चों के लिए
