Why is the word order यह लाल सेब and not something like यह सेब लाल?
In Hindi, an adjective usually comes before the noun when it directly describes it.
So:
- लाल सेब = red apple
- अच्छा सेब = good apple
That means:
- यह लाल सेब अच्छा है = This red apple is good
But if you say:
- यह सेब लाल है = This apple is red
So the position of लाल changes the structure:
- लाल सेब = red apple
- सेब लाल है = the apple is red
