"My name is Julia."

Translation: मेरा नाम जूलिया है।

[AadityaVer4]

So is it mera and not meri because it is referring to name and not Julia?

[deactivated user]

Exactly! naam is masculine, so its mera.

[seda_bo_beda]

Why does this use है not हूँ?

[Zesul]

Because मेरा नाम acts as a third-person pronoun. हूँ is only used with a first-person (singular) (pro)noun. It works the same way in English; we say "My name is...", not "My name am..."

[pradeepan90]

Brilliant analogy. Thanks for that.

[seda_bo_beda]

Thank you!

[Zesul]

You're welcome.

[ph.NBeoAQ]

It uses 'हूँ' instead of 'है' because हूँ means 'am' and है means 'is'.

Would you say "My name am -------." in english????

You say "My name is--------."to tell your name, right?

[Oshin140936]

Why cant we use "मेरा नाम है जूलिया" instead of "मेरा नाम जूलिया है"?

[MilesFlorentine]

'hai' is the auxillary verb, since hindi has a subject-object-verb structure the 'hai' meaning 'is' comes at the end

thanks

[ph.kTjFqH]

bruh you guys already know hindi right?

[JonnyNut279750]

"जूलिया मेरा नाम है" doesn't work?

[ph.NBeoAQ]

It would mean "Julia is my name" not "My name is Julia".
