काउंटर वहाँ है।

A helpful pronunciation is:

kaauṇṭar vahā̃ hai

More naturally in English-friendly approximation:

KOWN-ter vahaan hai

A few notes:

• काउंटर is a loanword from English counter.
• वहाँ has a nasal sound at the end: vahā̃.
• है sounds like hai, roughly like high.

Word by word:

• काउंटर = counter
• वहाँ = there
• है = is

So the literal order is:

Counter there is.

That is normal Hindi word order, even though English would usually say The counter is there.

Hindi usually puts the verb at the end of the sentence. So instead of:

• English: The counter is there
• Hindi: Counter there is

This is a very common pattern in Hindi. The last word is often the verb, and here है is the verb is.

वहाँ means there.

It refers to a place that is away from the speaker. In this sentence, it tells you where the counter is.

Examples:

• किताब वहाँ है। = The book is there.
• वह आदमी वहाँ है। = That man is there.

No. They are related, but they are not the same word.

• वह = he / she / that
• वहाँ = there

So:

• वह काउंटर है। = That is the counter.
• काउंटर वहाँ है। = The counter is there.

The extra nasalized ending in वहाँ changes the meaning.

है is the present-tense form of the verb to be for a singular subject.

So in this sentence, है means is.

Examples:

• यह कमरा बड़ा है। = This room is big.
• काउंटर वहाँ है। = The counter is there.

If the subject were plural, you would normally use हैं instead:

• काउंटर वहाँ हैं। = The counters are there.

It is a very common loanword from English. Modern Hindi uses many everyday English-origin words, especially for shops, offices, transport, and technology.

So काउंटर is perfectly normal in conversation.

Depending on context, people may also use more traditional Hindi words, but काउंटर is very common and natural.

Yes, borrowed nouns in Hindi are usually treated as having a grammatical gender, and काउंटर is commonly treated as masculine.

However, in this sentence you do not really see gender clearly, because:

• there is no adjective changing form
• है is the same for masculine and feminine singular

So even if you do not know the gender yet, you can still understand and use this sentence.

Yes. काउंटर वहाँ पर है is also correct.

• वहाँ = there
• वहाँ par = there / at that place

The word पर adds a slight sense of location, but in many everyday sentences it is optional.

So both are fine:

• काउंटर वहाँ है।
• काउंटर वहाँ पर है।

Often, yes.

• वहाँ = there
• उधर = over there / that way

So:

• काउंटर वहाँ है।
• काउंटर उधर है।

Both can work, but उधर may feel a little more directional, like pointing somewhere.

Hindi does not have articles like a and the in the same way English does.

So काउंटर could mean:

• the counter
• a counter

The exact meaning depends on context. In this sentence, it will usually be understood from the situation.

In normal standard Hindi, you should keep है here.

So say:

• काउंटर वहाँ है।

Not usually:

• काउंटर वहाँ।

Hindi normally keeps the verb to be in this kind of present-tense sentence.

This sentence is already natural, but in real life people might also say:

• काउंटर वहाँ है। = The counter is there.
• काउंटर उधर है। = The counter is over there.
• काउंटर वहाँ पर है। = The counter is there.
• काउंटर सामने है। = The counter is in front.

If someone is giving directions, they may also point while saying it, which makes the meaning even clearer.
