"Julia's house"

Translation: जूलिया का घर

[TongXinM]

Why is this possession particle “का”? What are the rules on the particles “का” and “की”

[aaditsingh8]

का goes for masculine objects, की for feminine objects, and के for plural masculine objects. :D

I just asked this question before scrolling down and seeing your answer here. You sir are a legend! धन्यवाद!

[Aakhil6]

घर is a masculine thing in Hindi.

[keyruntej]

How do we know which is masculine and which is feminine??

[Aakhil6]

That's the hardest part, because it doesn't work as usual. There are always exceptions.
The normal rule is if a word ends in अ as in लड़का , then it's masculine otherwise if it ends in इ, ई as in बिल्ली then it's feminine.

Thank you

[IAmCrazyHope]

So it's pretty much the exact opposite of Latin based languages, where words that end with 'a' are feminine!

I just typed जूलिया की घर for fun , and it came ... "Excellent!"

जूलिया का घर

[Andrew-LD]

I thought the person being spoken about is what made it masculine or feminine. In this case the house is Julia's so I put 'ki'.

[IAmCrazyHope]

I wasn't sure if it was ki or kā so I just guessed. It said I got it right, but it also showed the right answer being the opposite of the one I guessed. Does that mean that in some cases, the 's is interchangable?
