Questions & Answers about मेरी बहन मुझसे तेज़ बोलती है, लेकिन मैं उससे धीरे लिखती हूँ।
Why is it मेरी बहन and not मेरा बहन?
Because बहन is a feminine noun in Hindi, so the possessive my must agree with it.
- मेरा = my, used with masculine singular
- मेरी = my, used with feminine singular
- मेरे = my, used with masculine plural or certain oblique forms
So:
- मेरा भाई = my brother
- मेरी बहन = my sister
Here, बहन is feminine, so मेरी is correct.
What does मुझसे mean, and why is it not मैं से?
मुझसे is the oblique form of मैं with से.
In Hindi, pronouns often change form before postpositions like से, को, में, etc.
So:
- मैं = I
- मुझ- = oblique stem
- मुझसे = from me / than me / by me, depending on context
You cannot normally say मैं से in standard Hindi.
Similar examples:
- तुम → तुमसे
- वह → उससे
- हम → हमसे
In this sentence, मुझसे means than me.
