कटोरी मेज़ पर है।

Word by word:

• कटोरी = bowl / small bowl
• मेज़ = table
• पर = on
• है = is

So the full sentence means The bowl is on the table.

Hindi uses postpositions instead of prepositions.

• English: on the table
• Hindi: table on = मेज़ पर

So पर works like on, but it comes after the noun, not before it.

Hindi usually puts the verb at the end. A very common basic pattern is:

• Subject + place/location + verb

So:

• कटोरी = subject
• मेज़ पर = location
• है = verb

That is why है comes last.

Hindi normally does not have a direct equivalent of the English articles a, an, and the in ordinary sentences.

So कटोरी मेज़ पर है can naturally mean:

• The bowl is on the table
• A bowl is on the table

The exact meaning depends on context.

Yes, कटोरी is a feminine noun.

Gender matters in Hindi because adjectives and sometimes verbs can agree with the noun. In this sentence, though, you do not see much effect, because:

• है is used for any singular subject, whether masculine or feminine

So even though कटोरी is feminine, the verb still stays है.

मेज़ is usually treated as a feminine noun in standard Hindi.

In this sentence, that does not create any obvious change, because पर does not show gender, and है is just singular is.

In Hindi, nouns often take an oblique form before a postposition like पर, में, से, etc.

But some nouns do not visibly change, and मेज़ is one of them. So:

• direct form: मेज़
• before पर: still मेज़

That is why you see मेज़ पर, not a different-looking form.

Yes. That is also natural Hindi.

Both are possible:

• कटोरी मेज़ पर है
• मेज़ पर कटोरी है

The difference is mostly one of focus or emphasis.

• कटोरी मेज़ पर है focuses a bit more on the bowl
• मेज़ पर कटोरी है focuses a bit more on where it is

Both relate to bowls, but they are different noun forms:

• कटोरी = usually a small bowl, and it is feminine
• कटोरा = bowl, often a more general or different-shaped bowl, and it is masculine

So the choice is not random; it depends on the word you want and its gender.

A simple learner-friendly pronunciation is:

• कटोरी = kuh-TO-ree
• मेज़ = mayz
• पर = pur
• है = hai (like hai in high, but shorter and lighter)

Saying it smoothly:

kuh-TO-ree mayz pur hai

Both spellings are seen.

• मेज़ uses the dot under ज़ to show a z sound
• मेज is a very common simplified spelling

In modern Hindi, many people write मेज even though the pronunciation may still be close to mez. Both are widely understood.

If there is more than one bowl, you would say:

कटोरियाँ मेज़ पर हैं।
= The bowls are on the table.

Main changes:

• कटोरी → कटोरियाँ = bowls
• है → हैं = are

So the verb changes from singular to plural.

In standard Hindi, for a complete sentence like this, है should be included.

So the normal sentence is:

कटोरी मेज़ पर है।

In very informal speech, people may sometimes shorten things in context, but as a learner, you should keep है.
