"आप अपना पानी पीती हैं।"

Translation: You drink your water.

[schtinefetz]

"You drink your own water" should also be correct.

[Sandesh297758]

It can... But to be more precise it will be " आप अपना 'खुद' का पानी पीती हैं। "

Water drink your water

[InfiniteInsights]

Does anyone else think this is a nice tongue twister?

[VZbLAexr]

What, Hindi? Yes :)

[AdleCoullo]

I'm not sure I understand the पीती in this case. Is it because of the oblique form? Can someone confirm that "you drink water" is आप पानी पीते हैं ?

[AgnusOinas]

पीती is used, because the sentence means "You (woman) drink your water."

For "You (man) drink your water" you'd say आप अपना पानी पीते हैं ।

[ph.IbGeTM]

ये अपना / अपनी /अपने वस्तु के लिए उपयोग में लाये जाते हैं जैसे वो अपना पानी पीती हैं । वो अपनी बात मनवाकर् ही मानेगा हैं।
तो पानी के लिए अपना वैसे ही बात के लिए अपनी

[SATYADEOKU1]

Shall be आप अपना पानी पीते हैं

[ph.wzhsGj]

It can be used, but with you(man)

[GoWiP]

They are talking to a woman.

[PranavShr4]

अपना/अपनी/अपने confuses me so much and here's why: it could mean my, your, his/hers, their, etc. At that point we could just as easily use मेरा/मेरी/मेरे, तेरा/तेरी/तुम्हारा/तुम्हारी, etc etc. I'm thinking अपना and its forms is their (plural or formal posession) because there's already उसका and its forms.

[Dave730164]

No, in this sentence it cannot be "their", it must only be "your" (formal and or plural). Where English has only one possessive "your", Hindi has three, based on degrees of formality and number (super informal, informal, and formal). tera is the least formal, then tumhara, then apna is the most formal or plural.

The reason it is "you" and not "her" or "their" or "my" in this sentence is because अपना is "reflexive", which is to say it refers back to the subject, which in this case is आप . I think of अपना generically as "one's own", then change the "one" to whatever fits in the sentence in question and drop the own. "He eats [one's own] apple" becomes "he eats his apple". "They eat [one's own] apple" becomes "They eat their apple". Hope that makes sense...

[Odem26463]

I think आपका belongs to आप, not अपना. अपना just means "one's own", not "yours" (most formal), right?

[Kanransha731770]

what is the difference between âp, tu & tumhara?

[ph.wHQ3AN]

[ph.GL58jB]

Hi

[Mdextraze]

Is this being told to a boy or a girl? Apna makes me think that a boy is being told, but piti makes me think that it is a girl...this is confusing.

[kati.paul]

I think that apna is masculine because seb (apple) is masculine

[Matthew_stucken]

Or, water, you mean.

[Gita-ji]

It is tricky: पानी is a masculine gender noun, even though it ends in ी.
So it needs अपना (apna) as its possessive.
The verb पिती (pitī) means that the subject आप (Āp = you) is a girl (feminine).

[Thiya30]

why it is not " aap apni pani peethi ho" ? .. Because peethi refers girl. So it should be apni right?

[ph.BmdNnn]

Yes you are right

[ph.H8dsjW]
