Questions & Answers about हम शाम की ट्रेन से जाएँगे।

What does each part of हम शाम की ट्रेन से जाएँगे। mean grammatically?

A useful breakdown is:

• हम = we
• शाम = evening
• की = a linking form of का/की/के, used here to connect evening and train
• ट्रेन = train
• से = by / via / using
• जाएँगे = will go

So the structure is roughly:

we + evening-associated train + by + will go

Very literally, it is close to We will go by the train of the evening, which natural English expresses as We will go by the evening train.

Why does Hindi say शाम की ट्रेन for evening train?

Hindi often uses noun + का/की/के + noun where English uses a noun as an adjective.

So:

• शाम की ट्रेन = evening train
• सुबह की फ्लाइट = morning flight
• रात का खाना = night meal / dinner

The idea is not really possession in the English sense. It is more like the train associated with the evening.

Why is it की and not का or के?
