hi, bhi and nahi

Background

Let see how to use these 3 words.

nahi = not

hi = only

bhi = also

 

The grammar technique is the same for all three

nahi

We put nahi behind the word that is to be negated:

 

 

ye picture achchi hai = This movie is good

ye picture achchi nahi hai = This movie is not good

 

 

Radha does not eat rice = Radha chawal nahi khati hai

You Try...

Amit does not eat rice = 

I don’t speak French = 

hi

replace the nahi with hi:

 

Radha eats only rice = Radha chawal hi khati hai

You Try...

Amit speaks only Hindi = 

I only read fiction = 

bhi

replace the hi with bhi:

 

 

Amit speaks Hindi also = Amit Hindi bhi bol-ta hai

 

Amit also speaks Hindi  = Amit bhi Hindi bol-ta hai

You Try...

Radha speaks French also =

Radha also speaks French =

another use of bhi + nahi

bhi + nahi = not even

 

 

ghar me ek kutta hai = In the house there is one dog

 

 

ghar me ek bhi kutta nahi hai

= In the house there is not even one dog

You Try...

in the park, there is one girl =

in the park, there is not even one girl =
