It's the possessive (i.e. words like my, your, his) that must be used when the person doing the possessing is also the subject of the sentence. hamaara means "our," yes. But one can't say, "ham hamāre ghar meṅ..." One must say, "ham apne ghar meṅ...". "apnā" could roughly be translated as "one's own".
So like свой from Russian? You probably don't know what I'm talking about, but it makes sense to me.
No, it means your.
*Keep in mind that you're asking about "aap ke," whereas this exercise uses the word "apne."
Hey ranzo, so I understand. Because your are the subject "we" and you are also in the object the "our" in our home, that changes the humare to apne? Where as transligual (I think says) if we were to put it as I live in your home, then apne or humare would be fine?
It's the oblique case. अपना changes to अपने, the oblique form of घर is also घर (because it's male singular unmarked), so one does not see the change there.
In this sentence is a postposition (में) which demands that the oblique case be used.
Doesn't that mean "we live in Their house" If not how to say ""we live in Their house" in hindi pls
At first i thought it could also mean "we live in your house". But checked with google translate and pay attention to the second word in both these sentences:
हम अपने घर में रहते हैं means "We live in our home" हम आपके घर में रहते हैं means "We live in your home"
Upvote if it helped :)
ok. it was my typo in another word... can't delete comment from mobile app
Could it also be "hum humare"? Is "aapne" used to be more formal? Why is "hum" used instead of "aap" then?
Hi Sarah, See my earlier reply and others, above. "Apna" is a word that means "one's own." It is grammatically incorrect to say "ham hamaare" "main mere" "tum tumhaare" etc. One must say "ham apne", "main apne", "tum apne" etc. N.B. It's apne in Hindi, not aapne.
