[flo4n4od]

Hard sentence

[ExSquaredOver2]

Yeah, threw me off

[Bhakti68287]

Yes

[Sushmita51632]

But what is hard about it. Practice practice make perfect. Right

[SmartCat...]

Yeah, it took me awhile before i could figure out the the answer.

[ph.TAKjLd]

Raj is julia's sister'son

[Oshimimers321]

Does Hindi have a word for nephew?

[prvashisht]

Yes.

1. My brother's son would be my “भतीजा” (Bhatija)

2. His daughter would be my “भतीजी” (Bhatiji)

3. My sister's son would be my "भांजा" (Bhanja)

4. Her daughter would be my "भाँजी" (Bhanji)

[A-Person42]

I am still very much a novice but from what I understand the word 'nephew' has multiple options depending on family relationship i.e. specific words exist for the children of you mothers siblings, and the children of your fathers siblings.
Where I am there are specific words for uncles older than my father, uncles younger than my father, etc., etc. It gets quite complex.

[RobertSimo174696]

Same thing we have even in tamil bro

[Shivaadh]

May I ask what language you speak where you're from?

[RanzoG]

Yes, several. Believe me, you DON"T want to know, maamaa ji :)

(भांजा)

[ph.gsHoLK]

Yes it bhanji

[Shamshoomi]

That was a brain twister!

[Sushmita51632]

Huu. What is a brain twister

[Anne699914]

Like a tongue twister but for your brain: something you have to think real hard about and still might get it wrong. In other words: something difficult.

[bluewildflower]

Whoa. Now we're getting down to it lol

[AlexKarampas]

When is the possessive word "ki" and when is it "ka"?

[AHILA15]

Can we translate , "Julia's sister's son is Raj."

[prvashisht]

It would be a bit different in Hindi then I guess. More like "जूलिया की बहन का बेटा राज है।" This is sentence, you're specifying who's the son of Julia's sister. Whereas in the original sentence, Raj is the subject and you're specifying who he is.

[NamasteNS]

I will try to explain it:
'ka' is there because'beta' is masculine so 'ka beta hai'
Now 'Julia Ki bahan':
Here ' bahan' is feminine so 'ki' is used. If there was 'bhai'(brother) then it would have been:
"Julia KE(के) Bhai ka beta"
I hope it explains. :)

[Sachin457691]

Why ke and not ka?

[BigAl82]

Raj is Julia's nephew :)

[tre_mojosa]

Good lord, this makes my head hurt.

[vizaie]

I wrote "raj is the son of Julia's sister". it gave me wrong but it's actually correct

[kati.paul]

It's the right meaning, but not an exact translation. Duolingo is looking for an exact translation so it knows you understood each word.

[RussellRani]

I wrote Julia's sister's son is Raj but it says that it is wrong

[banmanush]

Can't we just say Bhanja?

[niteshm007]

Bhanja (भांजा) translates to nephew. Although the meaning of the sentence wouldn't change, it will skip over a few words, which I guess Duolingo wants to be translated.

[MdTJ81]

Am i the only one having issues with the audio clipping? Is it only an issue for android users?

[ph.JvlyM4]

When we have to use 'ka ',ki

[NamasteNS]

That sentence is tricky

[Aidan440188]

This is one of those sentences which is hard in most languages the first few times around to understand.

[Aryk_Aul]

Enjoyed to crack this one !

[Abeda439959]

Seriously!! What is difference between Raaz and Raj??

[Gita-ji]

The pronunciation.
And a little dot under the last letter: ज़ vs ज

[sajay64]

I wrote 'raj is son of Julia's sister' and got red. Is that incorrect?

[Gita-ji]

The meaning of Raj is the son of Julia's sister is the same. However, I guess Duo just wants to see that you understand nested possessives.

[TayvenS]

THis one threw me off a bit, but good practice

[Vishwanath25049]

Where to use ka and ki?

[Rudra18161101]

This Sentence is Very Harder
