Questions & Answers about बहन नीचे रसोई में चाय बना रही है।

What is the basic word order in बहन नीचे रसोई में चाय बना रही है?

The basic Hindi word order is usually Subject + other information + Object + Verb.

So here you have:

• बहन = subject
• नीचे रसोई में = location
• चाय = object
• बना रही है = verb phrase

English usually puts the verb earlier: Sister is making tea downstairs in the kitchen.

Hindi usually saves the main verb for the end.

Why is में after रसोई instead of before it?

Hindi uses postpositions, not prepositions.

So instead of saying in the kitchen, Hindi says:

This is completely normal in Hindi. A few very common postpositions are:

• में = in
• पर = on
• से = from, with, by
• को = to, object marker
• का / की / के = of
