हिंदी में हर संज्ञा का एक लिंग होता है। घर पुल्लिंग संज्ञा है।
Every noun has a gender in Hindi. घर is masculine.
The ending of the possessive pronoun agrees with the object, not the owner. So:
उसकी बिल्ली उसका कुत्ता उसके कुत्ते उसकी बिल्लियाँ
His cat OR Her cat His dog OR Her dog His dogs OR Her dogs His cats OR Her cats
We are talking about the house and house is a masculine gender so we will use ' उसका ' instead of ' उसकी '
Hindi uses postpositions, instead of prepositions like in English. This means you would write "(She of)-house America-in is."

है = is, हैं = are. The plural form हैं is used when you want to give extra respect to the subject, e.g. a parent or elder.
Hey i think the subject should be " uski " because the subject in the main sentence is " her ". Anyone please help me

The possessive adjective has the same gender as its object — NOT the same gender as the owner (subject) as in English.

'में' means 'in'.
In Hindi, they come after (postpositions) rather than before (prepositions) the noun they are describing.
Can someone please explain the sentence structure? Why is "mei' at the end rather than being in front of "america" ?
‘Se he’ would offer the translation: “ is from” - this one, ‘me he’, means “is in”
The postposition is to agree with the subject of the sentence. In this case it is ghar, a masculine noun. More directly it could be translated, “the house of her is in America.”
