Pronouns and Articles in Hindi

Let us learn pronouns today. Below chart has the list.

As I would always say, go through the list once. But do not get daunted by the details. When we will start preparing sentence, come back to chart and get the required pronoun.

Using them frequently will make you familiar. And afterwards you will not need to come back this chart.

Difference between तू(tU), तुम(tum), आप(Ap)
Calling someone by तू(tU) is considered derogatory unless the person is very near and dear to use. Otherwise तुम(tum) is used in general. 
Address anyone elder than you, unknown person or respectful person as आप(Ap).

Other pronouns
Self :- खुद (khud)
All :- सब(sab)


********************* Articles  ************************* 
In English there are three article "a', "an" and "The". In Hindi there is no custom of using such articles. 
"This is horse" and "This is a horse" will be translated in Hindi same way "यह घोड़ा है(yah ghoDxA hai)
"This is ant" and "This is an ant" will be translated in Hindi same way "यह चींटी है"(yah chIMTI hai)
"The Sun", "The moon" will be translated as if written just "sun", "moon" without article "The" i.e. सूरज(sUraj), चांद (chAMd)
