Adjectives

Question 1

What are inflecting adjectives?

Answer 1

Adjectives that must change to ‘agree’ with the gender noun they describe. All Inflecting Adjectives end in आ aa.

Singular Masculine Noun - Inflecting Adjective stays the same
Plural Masculine Noun - We drop the आ aa of the Inflecting Adjective and add ए e
Singular & Plural Feminine Noun - We drop the आ aa of the Inflecting Adjective and add ई ee

Question 2

What are non-inflecting adjectives?

Answer 2

Adjectives that never change no matter how they’re used.

Question 3

How do you negate a sentence?

Answer 3

To negate a sentence in Hindi you simply put नहीं naheen before the verb. In the negative you can even drop the auxiliary (that is, the correct form of होना honaa - हूँ hoon, है hai, etc). However, in the plural feminine case when dropping the auxiliary you add a nasalization to the end of the verb (n).
