Questions & Answers about वह बच्चा मेज़ से सेब ले रहा है।
Why does वह mean both he and that?
Hindi वह can work as both:
- a demonstrative: that
- a third-person pronoun: he / she / it
So वह बच्चा can mean:
- that child
- he, the child in context
Hindi often does not force the same distinction English does. Context tells you which meaning is intended.
A few related forms:
