यह सवाल बहुत आम है।

A natural pronunciation is:

yah sawaal bahut aam hai

A few notes:

• यह is often pronounced yah in careful speech, though in everyday speech many speakers say something closer to yeh.
• सवाल = sawaal
• बहुत is commonly pronounced bahut or sometimes closer to bohot in casual speech.
• आम = aam with a long aa
• है = hai

So the whole sentence sounds roughly like: yah sawaal bahut aam hai.

यह means this.

So यह सवाल means this question.

Hindi commonly uses:

• यह = this
• वह = that

You may also see or hear:

• ये
• वो

In modern spoken Hindi, यह/वह are often pronounced more like ये/वो, but in writing यह is completely standard.

Yes. सवाल is a very common word for question.

There are other Hindi words too, such as:

• प्रश्न = question (more formal)
• सवाल = question (very common in everyday speech)

So यह सवाल बहुत आम है sounds natural and conversational.

बहुत means very here.

It modifies आम, so:

• आम = common
• बहुत आम = very common

So the structure is:

• यह सवाल = this question
• बहुत आम = very common
• है = is

Yes — आम can mean both common/general and mango.

The meaning depends on context.

In this sentence, आम clearly means common, because बहुत आम है means is very common. A sentence about fruit would look completely different in context.

This kind of double meaning is normal in many languages.

Hindi usually puts the main verb at the end.

So instead of English:

This question is very common.

Hindi uses a structure closer to:

This question very common is.

That is why है comes last.

This is one of the most important word-order differences between English and Hindi.

Because सवाल is singular here.

• यह सवाल बहुत आम है। = This question is very common.
• ये सवाल बहुत आम हैं। = These questions are very common.

So:

• है is used with singular subjects
• हैं is used with plural subjects or as a respectful form

No, आम stays the same here.

Hindi has two broad kinds of adjectives:

1. Variable adjectives, which change form depending on gender/number
   Example: अच्छा / अच्छी / अच्छे

2. Invariable adjectives, which do not change
   आम is used like this here.

So you can say:

• आम सवाल
• आम बात
• आम लोग

without changing आम.

No. Hindi does not usually use articles the way English does.

So यह सवाल simply means this question without needing a separate word for the.

More generally, Hindi often leaves article-like meanings to context.

Yes. Some natural alternatives are:

• यह प्रश्न बहुत आम है।
  More formal than सवाल

• यह सवाल काफ़ी आम है।
  काफ़ी = quite/rather/fairly

• यह बहुत आम सवाल है।
  Also natural; it changes the emphasis slightly

All of these are understandable, but यह सवाल बहुत आम है is simple and natural.

Because बहुत is modifying the adjective आम.

In Hindi, degree words like बहुत usually come before the adjective or adverb they modify:

• बहुत अच्छा = very good
• बहुत बड़ा = very big
• बहुत आम = very common

So बहुत आम works exactly like very common in English.

Yes, very often.

In careful writing, the singular form is यह, but in everyday pronunciation many speakers say something closer to ये. So you may hear:

• written: यह सवाल बहुत आम है
• spoken: ये सवाल बहुत आम है

That does not necessarily mean the speaker is using the plural ये in the grammatical sense; it is often just the normal spoken pronunciation of यह.

This is very common in modern Hindi speech.
