"We are not feeling hot."

Translation: हमें गर्मी नहीं लग रही है।

[ba2122]

Why is the verb रही and not रहे? Is the subject "hot" instead of "we"?

[khF1S]

We is blocked by the ko, so hot becomes the subject.

[AlikWidge]

Why does this sentence end in है and not हैं ? Doesn't हम make it plural?

[hptroll]

It seems that in Hindi, it is the feeling that atcs on you (in this case the feeling of being hot). Since the feeling is singular, you use है.

[MrRoboto7]

हमको should be fine

[emrys29]

"Hamko" and "Ham logon ko", both should be added.

Something that's been on my mind for a while here:
What are the rules for where to put 'नहीं' into a sentence? I find it goes mid-to-late, but I can't seem to figure out the exact placement. Any help?

[swturley]

Don't know much about Hindi but I always put mine right before the verb and it seems to work.

[AgnesSerap]

I think it's placed after adjectives and/or before verbs

[tizerzert]

Where is the " ko" this time ?!

[AgnesSerap]

को is used when the subject is the name of a person or a noun, e.g., Neha, Raj, बिल्ली, etc. When the subject is in the form of dative/oblique case's pronouns (मुझे, तुम्हें, हमें, etc.), ko is no longer needed.
E.g. मैं + को = मुझे

Anyone, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong xD

[LinguisticBoi]

Just like how we use ठंड to mean "cold" in a noun form, is there anything that means "hot" in noun form?

[GraysonElliott]

गर्मी is the noun form. I believe the adjective would be गरम or गर्म (the difference being regional or dialectical as far as I can tell—I'd love some elucidation on that myself!).

[GraysonElliott]

P.S. A better translation of गर्मी here would be "heat", not "hot" if translating the sentence literally, e.g. "to me | heat | not | feel | ing | is", noting that in Hindi "feeling" (लगना) is a transitive verb in a way that it is not in English.

[LinguisticBoi]

thanks

[parthibaba]

So the verb hona at the end is related to the sensation not the person?

[mauricelee13]

In gurmi (cold) where is the 'r' sound? It seems to be spelled as gummy.

[ph.ixgaeM]
