यह खबर सच है।

A natural pronunciation is:

yah khabar sach hai

In everyday speech, यह is very often pronounced more like yeh, so you may also hear:

yeh khabar sach hai

A rough pronunciation guide:

• यह = yah / yeh
• खबर = khabar
  
  • kh is an aspirated k sound
• सच = sach
  
  • the ch is like ch in church
• है = hai
  
  • often sounds closer to heh than the English word high

So if you say yeh khabar sach hai, you will sound quite natural.

Here is the breakdown:

• यह = this
• खबर = news / report
• सच = true
• है = is

So the structure is:

• यह खबर = this news / this report
• सच है = is true

Word-for-word, Hindi is closer to:

This news true is.

But in natural English, it becomes:

This news is true.

Because Hindi usually puts the verb at the end of the sentence.

A very common Hindi sentence pattern is:

subject + complement/object + verb

So:

• यह खबर = subject
• सच = complement
• है = verb (is)

That is why Hindi says:

यह खबर सच है

instead of something shaped like English This news is true.

Because the subject here is singular.

• यह खबर = this news/report → singular
• so the verb is है = is

If it were plural, you would use हैं:

• ये खबरें सच हैं। = These reports/news items are true.

So:

• singular → है
• plural → हैं

This is a very good question.

Yes, खबर is feminine, so a learner might expect:

यह खबर सच्ची है।

And that sentence is possible.

But सच is also very commonly used as an invariable predicate, especially in sentences like this, meaning true or the truth. In this use, it often does not change for gender.

So:

• यह खबर सच है। = very natural
• यह खबर sच्ची है। = also possible

A simple way to think about it:

• सच्चा / सच्ची / सच्चे behaves like a regular agreeing adjective
• सच is often used more like a fixed predicate meaning true

With statements, claims, rumors, or reports, सच है is extremely common.

Yes, खबर is a feminine noun.

You usually learn a noun’s gender together with the noun itself, because Hindi gender is not always predictable from meaning alone.

It matters in some places, for example with agreeing adjectives:

• अच्छी खबर = good news
• झूठी खबर = false news

But in यह खबर सच है, the word सच does not show feminine agreement here, so the feminine gender of खबर is not visibly marked in that part of the sentence.

It still matters elsewhere in grammar, though, so it is worth memorizing:

• खबर = feminine

Because spoken Hindi often simplifies यह and वह.

In careful writing:

• यह = this
• वह = that

In everyday speech, people often say:

• ये for यह
• वो for वह

So you may hear:

• ये खबर सच है in conversation

But in standard writing, यह खबर सच है is the expected form.

So the short version is:

• यह = standard written form
• ये = very common spoken form for singular this

No, Hindi does not have articles like English a/an/the.

So खबर by itself does not have a separate word meaning a report or the report.

Context tells you what is meant.

In this sentence:

• यह already means this
• so यह खबर means this news / this report

That is why Hindi does not need an extra word for the.

Yes.

खबर can mean:

• news
• report
• piece of news
• sometimes even rumor or information, depending on context

So यह खबर सच है could be understood in slightly different ways depending on the situation, such as:

• This news is true
• This report is true
• This rumor is true

The exact meaning comes from context.

They are related, but not identical in tone.

• खबर is very common in everyday Hindi
• समाचार is more formal and often used in news broadcasts, newspapers, or formal writing

For example:

• यह खबर सच है। = natural, everyday
• यह समाचार सत्य है। = much more formal and less conversational

So if you are speaking normally, खबर is usually the better word here.

Not exactly.

A word-for-word rendering would be:

This news true is.

That helps show the Hindi structure, but it is not natural English.

The natural English translation is:

This news is true.

This is very common when learning Hindi: the word order often differs from English, even when the meaning is simple.
