Also, what's the difference between mera, mere, meri and also hai, hain, ho.What's the difference between tera, tu, tum and tumhara in Hindi?
These are also Urdu words. I am writing with examples:
1).Tera = Yours : Kya yeh tera hai? = Is this yours?
2)Tumhara = Yours : Kya yeh tumhara hai? = Is this yours?
*Tumhara is more literate form. It is better to use 'apka' or 'tumhara'
instead of 'tu'. All three mean the same.
3).Tu = You : Tu kaun hai? = Who are you?
4).Tum = You : Tum kaun ho? = Who are you
*Tum is more literate form. It is better to use 'app' or 'tum' instead of 'tu'. All three mean the same.
*'App' or 'apka' is mostly used while talking with someone bigger in age like parents. It is a respective way to talk to them
5)Mera = Mine: Yeh mera hai = This is mine
6)Meri = Mine : Yeh meri hai = This is mine
*'Mera' is used for Masculine words and 'Meri' is used for Famine words.
7).Hai has been used above. It is mostly used as a verb to show present tense. It is mostly used with 'Tu'
8)Hain is used in plural and is also a present tense verb like 'Yeh meri kitabain hain' = These are my books. It is also used when we wrirte 'App' in a sentence
9). Ho = 'Kya yeh tum 'ho'? = Is this you?. 'Ho' is mostly used with 'tum'
'Ho', 'hai', and 'hain' can not be explained in English properly but I tried my best. You can see that these word do not have any direct English translations in the example sentences
Have a nice day! :)What's the difference between tera, tu, tum and tumhara in Hindi?
There are three levels of honorifics in Hindi/Urdu. It is not a question of more or less literate forms but higher and lower levels of honorifics.
High level: aap (you), aap ka (your)
Middle level: tum (you), tumhara (your)
Low level: tu (you), tera (your)
hai: used for 3rd person singular and for the lowest level of honorific for 2nd person (tu)
ho: used with tum
hain: used for 3rd person plural and also for aap.
