Questions & Answers about मैं आपका दोस्त हूँ।

What is the literal word-for-word breakdown of मैं आपका दोस्त हूँ?

A very literal breakdown is:

• मैं = I
• आपका = your
• दोस्त = friend
• हूँ = am

So the literal order is I your friend am.

Hindi often puts the verb at the end, so this is normal.

Why is the verb हूँ at the end instead of after मैं?

Because Hindi usually follows Subject–Object/Complement–Verb order.

So where English says:

• I am your friend

Hindi naturally says:

• I your friend am
• मैं आपका दोस्त हूँ

This verb-at-the-end pattern is one of the most common differences between English and Hindi.

What does आपका mean here, and why is it not just आप?

आप means you in a respectful/formal way.

To say your, Hindi uses a possessive form:

• आप = you
• आपका / आपकी / आपके = your

So आपका दोस्त means your friend.

You cannot say for . You need the possessive form, just like English needs , not .
