Questions & Answers about मेरा फोन काला है।
What does each word in मेरा फोन काला है। mean?
Word by word:
- मेरा = my
- फोन = phone
- काला = black
- है = is
So the full sentence means My phone is black.
A very literal word-for-word order would be:
My phone black is.
That is normal in Hindi.
Why is it मेरा and not मेरी?
Because मेरा must agree with the noun being possessed, not with the speaker.
Here, the possessed noun is फोन, and फोन is usually treated as masculine singular in Hindi. So you use:
- मेरा फोन = my phone
If the noun were feminine, you would use मेरी instead:
- मेरी किताब = my book
If the noun were masculine plural, you would use मेरे:
- मेरे फोन = my phones
So the form depends on the noun, not on whether the speaker is male or female.
Why is it काला and not काली?
For the same reason: the adjective काला agrees with फोन, which is masculine singular.
