[Fororino]

Hard sentence

[ExSquaredOver2]

Yeah, threw me off

[Bhakti68287]

Yes

[Sushmita51632]

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

[Adam711804]

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

[GauravSain993104]

k

[Sushmita51632]

What is the meaning of "k" in English

[Sushmita51632]

I think you are saying about the letter "k" in hindi.right

[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 :)

[Shamshoomi]

That was a brain twister!

[Sushmita51632]

Huu. What is a brain twister

[bluewildflower]

Whoa. Now we're getting down to it lol

[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.

[AlexKarampas]

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

[Adam711804]

I haven’t done Hindi in a little while, but I believe that ki is for when the attached noun (before it) is feminine and ka is for when the attached noun (before it) is masculine

[maxelost]

It depends on the gender of the noun after it, not before, I think.

[bthorson1029]

Great challenge! बहुत मज़ा

[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. :)

[splusb]

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.

[NamasteNS]

That sentence is tricky

[Aryk_Aul]

Enjoyed to crack this one !

[Sushmita51632]

What?

[MaritereMu]

Is just and apostrophe!

[GauravSain993104]

too confusing

[GauravSain993104]

thanks for helping me

[Abeda439929]

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

[RussellRani]

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

[BigAl82]

Raj is Julia's nephew :)

[Aidan440188]

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

[bruisedtoes]

This course would do well to introduce one concept at a time.

[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.

[tre_mojosa]

Good lord, this makes my head hurt.

[dain965592]

Only one word

[MNithish]

Where we should use 'KA' and where 'KE'

[CarlaStewa4]

I said the correct answer and i marked in red! As wrong! I got it right!

[CarlaStewa4]

It marked it wrong! I got it right!

[Sushmita51632]

How

[Peacefulautistic]

This one was a little confusing for me. I think adding "है" as "is" would help with the sentence to make more sense like
"राज है जूलिया की बहन का बेटा है।/Raj hai Julia ki bahan ki beti hai." or "Raj is Julia's sister's son" or maybe we could say "Julia's sister's son is Raj"

[AJ72T]

Sadly they can't put the verb there! even though it might be helpful... Take your time, say the sentence back to yourself with a 'pause' after राज... and it makes more sense.

[Nristine514]

I feel like a few commas are needed

[Adam711804]

Where?

[Sushmita51632]

Where
