Questions & Answers about इसकी वजह क्या है?

What does इसकी mean here?

इसकी is a possessive form built from यह (this, it, sometimes he/she in context). Here it means something like of this or its.

So in this sentence, इसकी points to some situation, event, or thing already being talked about:
इसकी वजह = the reason for this / its reason.

Why is it इसकी and not इसका?

Because वजह is a feminine noun.

In Hindi, possessive forms like का / की / के agree with the noun that follows, not with the owner. Since वजह is feminine singular, you use की:

• इसकी वजह = its reason
• if the following noun were masculine singular, you would use इसका
• if plural or certain masculine forms, you would use इसके

What does वजह mean exactly?

वजह means reason, cause, or basis.

It is a very common everyday word. A near-synonym is कारण, which also means reason/cause, but कारण can sound a bit more formal or bookish.

So:

• वजह = common, natural, everyday
