Questions & Answers about सेट अब शुरू होता है।

Why is सेट written in Devanagari if it is an English word?

Because Hindi often borrows English words and writes them in Devanagari script.

• सेट is the Hindi spelling of set
• It is pronounced roughly like set
• In modern Hindi, especially in sports, media, entertainment, and everyday conversation, this is very common

So this is not unusual at all. It is simply an English loanword being used as part of a Hindi sentence.

What does अब do in this sentence?

अब means now.

In सेट अब शुरू होता है, it adds the idea that the set begins now or from this point.

Hindi word order is fairly flexible, so you may also see:

• अब सेट शुरू होता है
• सेट शुरू होता है अब — less common in neutral speech, but possible in certain contexts

The placement of अब in the middle is perfectly normal.
