2nd lesson of Hindi

Languages is one of the most important part of our life!! It helps us to communicate with the people all around the world. Hindi is a language that is spoken by more than a billion people in India. Namaste and Hi guys!!!! welcome again to the 2nd class of learning Hindi. In the last class we learned about numbers in Hindi, so let's do a short revision of that-
  0- shunia
1- ek
2- do
3- teen
4- char
5- panch
6- chae
7- sath
8- ath
9- no
So this sounds something familiar right???? Let me take you to the world of colors. Today in this class we are going to learn about different colors in Hindi!!!!!!!! so let's check them out ----

violet                                      bangany
indigo                                     nil
blue                                         niela
green                                       hara                                      
yellow                                     piela
orange                                     narangi
red                                           lal                                       
pink                                         gulabi
black                                       kala

Does that look a little easy or difficult?????? did you know that the flag of India consists of saffron (at the top), white (in between with a blue symbol inside)and green ( at the bottom). The color saffron is the symbol of courage, white represents peace and harmony, blue for truth and royalty and green for hope, joy and fertility. So you got to know the meaning of the flag of India. So these were some of the colors and there translation in Hindi. So now let's learn something new!!!!!!!!!!
Let's learn some of the relations in Hindi. For example - mother, father, brother, sister and so on.


Mother                                              maa
Father                                                pita
Sister                                                behein
Brother                                             bhai
Husband                                           pati
Wife                                                 patni
Maternal grandfather                       nana
Maternal grandmother                     nani
Paternal grandfather                        dada
Paternal grandmother                       dadi
Uncle                                               mama, chacha
Aunt                                                 mami, chachi



So these were some of the relations with there translations in Hindi. Did you know that earlier in India you had as many as seven brothers and sisters. And you lived together as a joint family in a single house to live happily together. So in earlier times you had a very big family !!!!!!!!!! But as time goes on, the world also changes. Now there are short families like with one or two children and many of them do not live with their grandparents. But still the population of India is something around a billion and is going to be the most populated country in the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Even with such a huge number Indian culture holds family, community and the nation together so in the end i would like to summarize that whether in Hindi or English relations are a important part of are life and we must treasure them. So I will catch up with you in my next blog.
tab tak ke liye (Bye till then)
Bye
