"मैं अमेरिका में रहती हूँ।"

Translation: I live in America.

[Kay144809]

I am having sooo much trouble hearing/ pronouncing the difference for hindi "I" pronoun and the word for "in".

[Royal775471]

Okay

What's the difference between हूं and हूँ?

There seems to be certain limitations with Google Translator. I'm curious, what do the Duolingo cognoscenti here prefer for Hindi / English translation & transliteration?

Why is it live here
Why lives cant come

[marti_MG]

@Jessica and @Sidhanta (others, too?) Maybe this is your answer:

(1) to live (in a place): I live, you live, he/she liveS, we live, you live, they live

(2) the only S in present conjugation of verbs in English is 3rd person singular
(another example: I write, you write, he/she writeS, we write, you write, they write)

(3) In Hindi, the conjugation changes according to gender, but in English the speaker can be female or male and the conjugation does not change.
Our example is a female speaker: "I live" = मैं रहती हूँ।

I hope this helps. For me, explaining helps me understand better.

what is the difference in sound between "i" and "in" ? it's very unclear.

[Ashwin653932]

If you look closely, there's an extra line on top of the "I", which makes it sound like "mai" while the word "in" sounds like "may".

[Zesul]

Are you asking about the English words "I" and "in"?
