Gender in Hindi, How to find Gender in Hindi? what is ling?

 Hello guys, Today I will talk about a very important topic which  is extremely important for people who want to learn Hindi. I have seen people who are from non Hindi areas often feel problem in finding correct form of gender for words  in Hindi. So what is ling ? what is gender in hindi?

 In English gender is not a problem as verbs don't change according to the gender of subjects. For example Ram eats mango.

Seeta eats mango.

in these two sentences whether ram or Seeta, gender of subject does not affect 'eats'. That is why English is considered an easy language. In Hindi this is not the case. here verb changes as per subject of the sentence. for example-

राम आम खाता है|

सीता आम खाती है| 

now you see aam (mango) is same,  but verb khaatee hai, or khaataa hai are used as per gender. Ram is  male  so 'khaataa hai'(खाता है) and seetaa is female so 'khaatee hai' (खाती है).

this is the story. each and every noun in Hindi is either male which is called 'pulling' (पुल्लिंग) or female which is called 'striling' (स्त्रीलिंग). So genders in Hindi are of two types 1. पुल्लिंग, and  2. स्त्रीलिंग

now you see I am giving here some nouns and their genders. you will definitely feel exited.

Noun                                     gender

Bus                                      female

car                                       female

Truck                                   male

train                                     female

tractor                                 male

like this all nouns are divided into these two gender.

now question is how to find a gender of a particular word in Hindi??  A BIG QUESTION  ???

I will answer it in my next article.

thanks..
