Questions & Answers about हर कदम ज़रूरी है।

What does हर mean here?

हर means every or each.

So हर कदम means every step.

A useful thing to remember is that हर usually stays the same and does not change for gender or number:

• हर आदमी = every man
• हर औरत = every woman
• हर दिन = every day

What does कदम mean?

कदम means step.

In this sentence, हर कदम is best understood as every step in a literal or figurative sense.

It can be used:

• literally: a physical step while walking
• figuratively: a stage, action, or move in a process

So the sentence can sound practical, motivational, or philosophical depending on context.

Why is the word order हर कदम ज़रूरी है and not something closer to English word order?

Hindi often puts things in the order subject/topic + description + linking verb.

So:

• हर कदम = every step
• ज़रूरी = necessary/important
• है = is

Literally, the structure is: Every step necessary is.

That is normal in Hindi. The verb है usually comes at the end.
