Questions & Answers about अपॉइंटमेंट के दौरान पालतू जानवर शांत है।

What does के दौरान mean in this sentence?

के दौरान means during. In Hindi, this is a very common fixed expression for talking about something happening in the course of an event or period of time.

So:

• अपॉइंटमेंट के दौरान = during the appointment

It is best learned as a chunk.

Why is it अपॉइंटमेंट के दौरान and not something like दौरान अपॉइंटमेंट?

Hindi uses postpositions rather than English-style prepositions. That means the relational word usually comes after the noun phrase, not before it.

So English:

• during the appointment

Hindi:

• अपॉइंटमेंट के दौरान

Literally, it feels more like:

• appointment + during

That is normal Hindi structure.

Why is the word के used here?

In के दौरान, the के is part of the full expression. You should usually treat के दौरान as one grammatical unit meaning during.

The noun before it goes into the form used before postpositions. With अपॉइंटमेंट, the form does not visibly change, so you just see:

• अपॉइंटमेंट के दौरान

Even though के often means something like of or is used in possessive patterns, here it is simply part of the set phrase .
