कंघी मेज़ पर है।

A simple breakdown is:

• कंघी = comb
• मेज़ = table
• पर = on
• है = is

So the structure is literally:

• comb table on is

Natural English rearranges this as The comb is on the table.

Because Hindi uses postpositions, not prepositions.

• English: on the table
• Hindi: मेज़ पर = table on

The word पर means on/upon, but it comes after the noun it relates to.

This is very common in Hindi:

• घर में = in the house
• कुर्सी पर = on the chair
• स्कूल के पास = near the school

So मेज़ पर is the normal Hindi way to say on the table.

Hindi usually follows Subject–Object/Complement–Verb word order, so the verb often comes at the end.

In this sentence:

• कंघी = subject
• मेज़ par = location
• है = verb

So Hindi naturally says:

• कंघी मेज़ पर है।

This is normal and expected. English puts is earlier, but Hindi usually saves the verb for the end.

Hindi normally does not use articles like English a/an/the.

So कंघी can mean:

• a comb
• the comb

and मेज़ can mean:

• a table
• the table

The exact meaning depends on context.

So कंघी मेज़ पर है। could be understood as:

• The comb is on the table
• A comb is on the table

depending on the situation.

Yes, कंघी is a feminine noun.

Gender matters in Hindi because adjectives and some verb forms can agree with the noun. In this specific sentence, however, you do not see much gender effect because the present singular form है is used for both masculine and feminine singular subjects.

For example:

• कंघी मेज़ पर है। = The comb is on the table.
• किताब मेज़ पर है। = The book is on the table.

Both use है.

But gender becomes more visible in other contexts, especially with adjectives and past forms.

Often, you simply have to learn a noun’s gender with the word. That said, many nouns ending in -ी are feminine, and कंघी follows that pattern.

Still, Hindi gender is not always perfectly predictable, so it is safest to memorize nouns together with their gender.

A good habit is to learn:

• एक कंघी — feminine
• एक मेज़ — feminine

rather than learning the bare noun alone.

Good question. In Hindi, nouns usually take the oblique case before a postposition such as पर, में, से, etc.

For some nouns, this change is visible. For example:

• लड़का → लड़के
• लड़के पर = on the boy

But with मेज़, the singular oblique form looks the same as the direct form:

• मेज़
• मेज़ पर

So the case change is there grammatically, but it is not visibly different in this noun.

Yes, Hindi word order is somewhat flexible, especially for emphasis, though some orders are more neutral than others.

The most neutral version here is:

• कंघी मेज़ पर है।

You could also say:

• मेज़ पर कंघी है।

This also means There is a comb on the table or The comb is on the table, but now the location is introduced first.

In many situations, both are fine. The difference is mostly about emphasis and what feels most natural in context.

Yes, very often it can.

Hindi does not always sharply separate:

• The comb is on the table and
• There is a comb on the table

The context usually tells you which interpretation is intended.

For example:

• मेज़ पर कंघी है। often feels very natural for There is a comb on the table.
• कंघी मेज़ पर है। often feels more like The comb is on the table.

But both can overlap in meaning.

पे is a very common spoken contraction of पर.

So:

• मेज़ पर है
• मेज़ पे है

both mean the same thing: is on the table

A learner should recognize both. In careful writing and many textbooks, पर is more standard, while पे is very common in everyday speech.

Because the subject is singular.

• कंघी = one comb
• so the sentence uses है

If the subject were plural, you would use हैं:

• कंघियाँ मेज़ पर हैं। = The combs are on the table.

So:

• singular → है
• plural → हैं

A rough pronunciation is:

• कंघी ≈ kun-ghee or kung-ghee

A few details:

• क = k
• घ = a g sound with a strong puff of air
• ं here nasalizes the sound, giving something like kangh
• ी = long ee

So the word is approximately kangh-ee.

The exact pronunciation may feel tricky at first because ंघ is not a common English sound sequence.

मेज़ is pronounced roughly like mez, similar to the English word maze but with a pure z sound at the end and without a strong glide.

The dot under ज़ shows a borrowed z sound:

• ज = j
• ज़ = z

So मेज़ sounds like mez.

That mark is called the danda. It is the traditional sentence-ending punctuation used in Devanagari.

So:

• । functions like an English period/full stop

In modern Hindi, you may also sometimes see a normal period, especially in digital writing, but । is the standard Devanagari sentence-ending mark.

No, मेज़ is a borrowed word, ultimately from Persian/Urdu usage, and it is fully common in modern Hindi.

Hindi often uses both native/Sanskrit-derived and borrowed everyday vocabulary. Learners will see many such words, and मेज़ is a very normal, everyday noun.

So even though it is borrowed, you should treat it as an ordinary Hindi word.
