बहन कुर्सी पर बैठती है, और किताब मेज़ पर है।

Hindi usually follows Subject–Object/Complement–Verb order, so the verb often comes at the end.

So:

• बहन कुर्सी पर बैठती है = literally Sister chair on sits
• किताब मेज़ पर है = literally Book table on is

This is normal Hindi word order. English puts the verb earlier, but Hindi generally saves it for the end.

पर means on, upon, or sometimes at depending on context.

Hindi uses postpositions, not prepositions. That means the equivalent of English words like on, in, to, with usually come after the noun, not before it.

So:

• कुर्सी पर = on the chair
• मेज़ पर = on the table

This is one of the biggest structural differences between Hindi and English.

Because बहन is a feminine singular noun, and in this kind of present-habitual sentence, the verb agrees with the subject.

So:

• बैठता है = sits for a masculine singular subject
• बैठती है = sits for a feminine singular subject

Examples:

• भाई कुर्सी पर बैठता है। = Brother sits on the chair.
• बहन कुर्सी पर बैठती है। = Sister sits on the chair.

Usually बैठती है means sits or does sit — a habitual or general action.

So this sentence sounds like:

• The sister sits on the chair
• or Sister sits on the chair

If you want to say is sitting right now, Hindi more naturally uses:

• बहन कुर्सी पर बैठ रही है। = The sister is sitting on the chair.

And if you want to say she is already in a seated position, you might hear:

• बहन कुर्सी पर बैठी है। = The sister is seated / has sat down

So बैठती है is not usually the best choice for an action happening at this exact moment.

है is the singular present form of the verb to be.

It has two slightly different jobs here:

1. In बैठती है, it helps form the present habitual:

   • बैठती है = sits / does sit

2. In किताब मेज़ पर है, it works as the main verb is:

   • है = is

So even though it is the same word, its role depends on the structure around it.

Hindi usually does not use articles like English a, an, and the.

So:

• बहन can mean sister, a sister, or the sister
• किताब can mean book, a book, or the book

The exact meaning depends on context.

If you really want to say a in the sense of one, Hindi can use एक:

• एक किताब = a book / one book

But in many ordinary sentences, Hindi simply leaves articles out.

Yes, nouns normally take the oblique form before a postposition like पर, में, से, etc.

But in this sentence, there is no visible change in these nouns.

Why?

• कुर्सी stays कुर्सी in the singular oblique
• मेज़ also usually looks the same in the singular

So the rule is still there, but some nouns do not show a visible difference in this form.

For comparison, a noun that does visibly change is:

• लड़का → लड़के
• लड़के पर = on the boy

That kind of change just does not happen visibly with कुर्सी and मेज़ here.

और means and.

It connects the two clauses:

• बहन कुर्सी पर बैठती है
• और
• किताब मेज़ पर है

So the whole sentence means:

• Sister sits on the chair, and the book is on the table.

Hindi uses और much like English uses and.

Yes, मेज़ पर किताब है is also correct.

Both are grammatical, but the emphasis is slightly different:

• किताब मेज़ पर है = The book is on the table
  Focus starts with the book

• मेज़ पर किताब है = On the table, there is a book / The book is on the table
  Focus starts with the table/location

Hindi word order is more flexible than English, especially with location phrases. The verb still usually stays at the end.

मेज़ is usually pronounced roughly like mez.

The letter ज़ is ज with a dot, called a nukta. It usually represents a z sound in words borrowed from Persian, Arabic, or English.

So:

• मेज़ ≈ mez

In everyday speech, some speakers may pronounce it closer to mej, and that is also commonly understood.

Yes. बहन means sister, so it is inherently feminine.

That matters because Hindi often shows gender agreement in verbs and adjectives. In this sentence, that is why you get:

• बहन ... बैठती है
  not
• बहन ... बैठता है

So learning the gender of nouns is important in Hindi, because it affects other words in the sentence.
