क्या तुम शहर में रहोगी, या गाँव जाओगी?

At the start of a sentence, क्या is a common marker for a yes/no question.

So:

• क्या तुम शहर में रहोगी...? = Will you stay/live in the city...?

Hindi can sometimes ask a yes/no question without क्या, just by using rising intonation, but क्या makes it clearly interrogative and is very common in standard speech.

तुम is the informal/familiar form of you.

It is commonly used for:

• friends
• siblings
• people younger than you
• someone you know well

It is:

• less formal than आप
• more neutral/polite than तू

So this sentence sounds like the speaker is talking to someone they know reasonably well, not in a very formal situation.

The ending -गी shows that the speaker is addressing a female person in the future.

Here, both verbs agree with तुम referring to a woman/girl:

• रहोगी = you will stay/live (said to a female)
• जाओगी = you will go (said to a female)

If the speaker were talking to a male, the forms would be:

• रहोगे
• जाओगे

So the sentence specifically addresses a female listener.

If speaking to a male with तुम, you would say:

• क्या तुम शहर में रहोगे, या गाँव जाओगे?

If speaking formally with आप to a female:

• क्या आप शहर में रहेंगी, या गाँव जाएँगी?

If speaking formally with आप to a male:

• क्या आप शहर में रहेंगे, या गाँव जाएँगे?

So both formality and gender affect the verb forms.

में means in.

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

So:

• शहर में = in the city
• literally: city in

This is a very normal Hindi structure.

With the verb जाना (to go), Hindi often uses the destination directly, without a separate word like English to.

So:

• गाँव जाओगी = you will go to the village
• literally something like village will-go

This is completely natural in Hindi.

You do not normally need a separate postposition here.

Because it is already understood.

Hindi often leaves out repeated subjects when they are obvious from context.

So:

• क्या तुम शहर में रहोगी, या गाँव जाओगी?

is more natural than repeating:

• क्या तुम शहर में रहोगी, या तुम गाँव जाओगी?

The second version is possible, but it sounds more repetitive unless you want emphasis.

या means or.

It connects the two alternatives:

• शहर में रहोगी = will stay/live in the city
• गाँव जाओगी = will go to the village

So the sentence is presenting a choice between two future possibilities.

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

So:

• शहर can mean city, a city, or the city
• गाँव can mean village, a village, or the village

The exact meaning depends on context.

That is very normal in Hindi, and English speakers often notice this early on.

गाँव is pronounced approximately like gaãv.

A few useful points:

• ाँ shows a nasalized vowel
• the vowel is long: gaa...
• the sound is roughly gaãv, not plain gaav

You may also see it written as गांव in less careful writing or typing. Both refer to the same word, but गाँव is the more standard spelling.

It can mean either, depending on context.

रहना is a broad verb that can mean:

• to stay
• to live
• to remain

In this sentence, English could translate it as either:

• Will you stay in the city, or go to the village?
• Will you live in the city, or go to the village?

The intended meaning depends on the situation the speaker has in mind.

They are future-tense forms.

Very roughly:

• रहना → रहोगी
• जाना → जाओगी

In actual usage, you see:

• रहोगी from रहना
• जाओगी from जाना

For a learner, the most practical thing is to recognize them as:

• रहोगी = you will stay/live (female)
• जाओगी = you will go (female)

Over time, you will get used to the future endings:

• -गा / -गी / -गे

and how they change with person, number, and gender.
