Questions & Answers about यह एलर्जी की दवा का बिल है।
What does यह mean here?
यह means this. In Hindi, यह can often mean either this or he/she/it depending on context, but here it clearly means this because the sentence is identifying an object: This is the bill...
Why are there two little words, की and का, in the same sentence?
Both की and का are forms of the Hindi genitive marker, which is often like of or sometimes for in English.
In this sentence:
- एलर्जी की दवा = medicine for allergy
- दवा का बिल = bill for the medicine
So the full structure is:
- [एलर्जी की दवा] = allergy medicine
- [एलर्जी की दवा का बिल] = bill for allergy medicine
Hindi often connects nouns this way instead of using a separate word like for.
Why is it एलर्जी की दवा and not एलर्जी का दवा?
Because दवा is a feminine noun, and the genitive marker agrees with the noun that follows it.
So:
- का is used with masculine singular nouns
- की is used with feminine nouns
- के is used with masculine plural nouns and in some other situations
