Questions & Answers about कृपया पहचान पत्र दिखाइए।

Why is the verb दिखाइए at the end of the sentence?

Hindi usually follows Subject–Object–Verb order, unlike English, which is usually Subject–Verb–Object.

So in this sentence, the structure is essentially:

• कृपया = please
• पहचान पत्र = identity document / ID card
• दिखाइए = show (polite)

So Hindi naturally puts show at the end.

Also, in commands, the subject is often omitted if it is obvious. Here, the implied subject is you.
