Questions & Answers about मरीज वहाँ बैठा है।

Can you break the sentence down word by word?

Yes:

• मरीज = patient
• वहाँ = there / over there
• बैठा = sitting / seated (masculine singular form)
• है = is

So the Hindi structure is roughly patient there seated is.

Why is there no word for the in this sentence?

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

So मरीज can mean:

• a patient
• the patient
• sometimes just patient in a general sense

Which one is meant depends on context. In your sentence, English naturally translates it as the patient.

Why is it बैठा and not बैठी?

बैठा is the masculine singular form. It agrees with the person being described.

So:

• मरीज वहाँ बैठा है। = the patient is sitting there. (male patient / masculine agreement)
• मरीज वहाँ बैठी है। = the patient is sitting there. (female patient / feminine agreement)

This is a very common feature of Hindi: words like participles and adjectives often change to match gender and number.
