Questions & Answers about क्या आपके पास कार है?

Why is क्या at the beginning of the sentence?

क्या at the beginning is a common way to mark a yes/no question in Hindi.

So:

• क्या आपके पास कार है? = Do you have a car?

It does not mean what here.
Hindi क्या can mean two different things depending on context:

• क्या...? at the start of a sentence often marks a yes/no question.
• क्या elsewhere can mean what.

For example:

• क्या आप ठीक हैं? = Are you okay?
• यह क्या है? = What is this?

Why doesn’t Hindi use a verb meaning to have here?

Hindi usually does not express possession with a direct verb like English have.

Instead, it commonly uses a structure like:

• X के पास Y है
  literally: Y is near/with X

So:

• आपके पास कार है
  literally: A car is with you / near you natural English: You have a car

This is one of the most important patterns in Hindi.

More examples:

• मेरे पास पैसा है। = I have money.
• उसके पास समय नहीं है। = He/She doesn’t have time.
