What does each word in आग यहाँ है। do?

• आग = fire
• यहाँ = here
• है = is

So the structure is basically:

fire + here + is

Hindi often puts the verb at the end.

Why is है at the end instead of in the middle like English is?

Because normal Hindi word order is often Subject/Topic + place/time/etc. + verb.

So:

• आग यहाँ है। = The fire is here.

This is more natural in Hindi than copying English order.

Also, Hindi word order is fairly flexible. For example, यहाँ आग है। is also possible, but the emphasis changes a little:

• आग यहाँ है can stress the fire
• यहाँ आग है can stress the place: there is fire here / here there is fire

Why is there no word for a or the?

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

So आग can mean:

• fire
• a fire
• the fire
