Question 7

Use of “ke” vs “ka” (postposition)

Urdu uses postpositions that follow the noun (rather than prepositions of English that precede the word)

Answer 7

“ka” (کا), “ke” (کے), and “ki” (کی) are used to show possession or relation between two nouns.

Ki and Ka are use when we talk about a thing that is related to a person.

If the thing is masculine then we use ka and if the thing is feminine then used Ki.

Example:

1. Ye yusuf ki gari (Car = feminine) hai
2. Ye yusuf ka laptop (laptop = masculine) hai

In formal speech, it is common to use “ke” when addressing or referring to elders, people in higher positions, or those you want to show respect.

For example:

“aap ke ghar” (آپ کے گھر) means “your house” (formal or respectful)
