मेरे पास दवा नहीं है, और मैं अस्पताल जा रही हूँ।

Hindi usually does not use a direct verb like English have for possession.

Instead, it often uses this pattern:

[person] + पास + [thing] + है / नहीं है

So:

• मेरे पास = with me / in my possession
• दवा = medicine
• नहीं है = is not

Literally, the clause is something like:

With me, medicine is not.

Natural English: I don’t have medicine.

With पास, Hindi uses the possessive-type form of the pronoun, not the basic subject form.

So you get:

• मेरे पास = with me / I have
• तुम्हारे पास = with you / you have
• उसके पास = with him/her / he/she has

So मैं is the subject form (I), but मेरे पास is the form used in this possession structure. It’s best to learn मेरे पास as a set phrase.

पास literally means near, close to, or with in a possession sense.

In everyday Hindi, X के/मेरे/उसके पास often means:

• near X
• with X
• in X’s possession

So मेरे पास दवा है literally means medicine is with me, which English expresses as I have medicine.

In Hindi, नहीं usually comes before the verb or auxiliary it negates.

So:

• दवा है = medicine is / I have medicine
• दवा नहीं है = medicine is not / I don’t have medicine

That is why नहीं comes right before है here.

A version like मेरे पास नहीं दवा है would sound unnatural in standard Hindi.

Because the two clauses are built differently.

In मेरे पास दवा नहीं है, the literal grammatical subject is दवा (medicine), which is singular, so Hindi uses है.

In मैं अस्पताल जा रही हूँ, the subject is मैं (I), so the auxiliary is हूँ.

So:

• दवा नहीं है = medicine is not
• मैं ... हूँ = I am ...

This is a very common thing in Hindi: the English subject and the Hindi grammatical subject are not always expressed the same way.

Hindi often does not need a separate word for any in negative sentences.

So मेरे पास दवा नहीं है can naturally mean:

• I don’t have medicine
• I don’t have any medicine

If you want to be more explicit, you can say:

• मेरे पास कोई दवा नहीं है = I don’t have any medicine at all

But the original sentence is already completely natural.

Because जा रही हूँ is the present progressive: am going.

Compare:

• मैं अस्पताल जा रही हूँ = I am going to the hospital
• मैं अस्पताल जाती हूँ = I go to the hospital / I usually go to the hospital

So:

• जा रही हूँ = happening right now or around now
• जाती हूँ = habitual or general action

Since the English meaning is I am going, जा रही हूँ is the correct choice.

रही is part of the Hindi progressive construction.

The pattern is:

verb stem + रहा / रही / रहे + होना

So:

• जा रहा हूँ = I am going (male speaker)
• जा रही हूँ = I am going (female speaker)
• जा रहे हैं = are going / am going (formal/plural contexts)

Here, रही shows that the action is ongoing, and it agrees with a feminine singular speaker.

Yes.

Because the sentence says:

मैं अस्पताल जा रही हूँ

The word रही is feminine singular, so this version is spoken by a woman or girl.

A male speaker would say:

मेरे पास दवा नहीं है, और मैं अस्पताल जा रहा हूँ।

Only रही changes to रहा.

With the verb जाना (to go), Hindi often puts the destination directly before the verb, without a separate word matching English to.

So:

• मैं घर जा रही हूँ = I am going home
• मैं स्कूल जा रही हूँ = I am going to school
• मैं अस्पताल जा रही हूँ = I am going to the hospital

This is normal Hindi. You do not need a separate word here for to.

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

So अस्पताल can mean:

• a hospital
• the hospital
• just hospital

The exact meaning comes from context.

So मैं अस्पताल जा रही हूँ naturally means I am going to the hospital here.

Yes, often it can be omitted if the subject is already clear from context.

For example, in casual speech, someone might say:

मेरे पास दवा नहीं है, और अस्पताल जा रही हूँ।

That still means I don’t have medicine, and I’m going to the hospital.

But keeping मैं makes the sentence clearer and more explicit, especially for learners, so the full version is very natural.

और means and.

It simply joins the two clauses:

• मेरे पास दवा नहीं है = I don’t have medicine
• मैं अस्पताल जा रही हूँ = I am going to the hospital

So together:

मेरे पास दवा नहीं है, और मैं अस्पताल जा रही हूँ। = I don’t have medicine, and I am going to the hospital.
