Questions & Answers about प्रतिद्वंद्वी के रैकेट नए हैं।

What does के mean in this sentence?

के is the possessive postposition here. It links प्रतिद्वंद्वी to रैकेट, so the structure is basically:

प्रतिद्वंद्वी के रैकेट = the opponent’s rackets

In Hindi, possession is often expressed with का / की / के, which change depending on the thing being possessed.

Why is it के, not का or की?

Because के agrees with रैकेट, the possessed noun, not with प्रतिद्वंद्वी.

Here, रैकेट is being treated as masculine plural, so the correct possessive form is के:

• masculine singular → का
• feminine singular → की
• masculine plural → के

So:

• प्रतिद्वंद्वी का रैकेट = the opponent’s racket
• प्रतिद्वंद्वी के रैकेट = the opponent’s rackets

Why are नए and हैं plural?

Because they agree with रैकेट, which is plural in this sentence.

• नया = new, masculine singular
• नए = new, masculine plural
• है = is
• हैं = are

So the grammar is showing that the sentence is about , not one racket.
