Questions & Answers about कुर्सी मेज़ के सामने है, और बैग कुर्सी के पीछे है।
Hindi usually uses postpositions, not prepositions. That means the relational word comes after the noun.
So instead of English in front of the table, Hindi says:
- मेज़ के सामने = table + ke + in front
- कुर्सी के पीछे = chair + ke + behind
This is a very common Hindi pattern:
- घर के पास = near the house
- स्कूल के बाहर = outside the school
- दरवाज़े के सामने = in front of the door
So the main thing to remember is: Hindi puts these location words after the noun phrase, not before it.
- सामने means in front, facing, or opposite
- पीछे means behind or at the back of
In this sentence:
- कुर्सी मेज़ के सामने है = The chair is in front of the table.
- बैग कुर्सी के पीछे है = The bag is behind the chair.
These are very common location words in Hindi.
