Questions & Answers about यह हल उस हल से बदतर है।

How do I break this sentence down word by word?

• यह = this
• हल = solution
• उस हल से = than that solution
• बदतर = worse
• है = is

So the literal order is:

This solution that solution than worse is.

That is normal Hindi word order.

Why is it उस हल से, not वह हल से?

Because से is a postposition, and Hindi uses the oblique form of pronouns/demonstratives before postpositions.

So:

• वह हल = that solution
• उस हल से = than/from that solution

The same pattern happens with this:

• यह हल = this solution
• इस हल से = than/from this solution

So वह changes to उस before से.

Then why is the first part यह हल, not इस हल?

Because there is no postposition after यह here. It is just the subject of the sentence, so it stays in the direct form:

• यह हल = this solution

If you added a postposition, then it would become इस:

• इस हल में = in this solution
