Breakdown of यह बैग उस बैग से महँगा है, लेकिन इसकी कीमत बहुत ज़्यादा नहीं है।
Questions & Answers about यह बैग उस बैग से महँगा है, लेकिन इसकी कीमत बहुत ज़्यादा नहीं है।
A very literal breakdown is:
- यह = this
- बैग = bag
- उस बैग से = than that bag / from that bag
- महँगा = expensive
- है = is
So the structure is basically:
This bag is expensive from that bag
which in natural English means: This bag is more expensive than that bag.
Hindi often uses X से to express comparison.
In Hindi, से is commonly used to mean than in comparisons.
So:
- उस बैग से महँगा = more expensive than that bag
- राम मोहन से लंबा है = Ram is taller than Mohan
- यह किताब उस किताब से अच्छी है = This book is better than that book
Although से often also means from, in comparison sentences it usually means than.
Because वह changes to उस before a postposition like से.
This is called the oblique form.
- direct form: वह बैग = that bag
