But he is talking about the parents shouldn't it be respectful, e.g. Unke?
No. Using 'unke' in this sentence means 'beta' is accorded the respectful plural status. But since it is referring to yourself in this sentence, it doesn't make much sense to do it.
When do we use 'पुस्तकें' or when do we use " किताब" That is very confusing for me
Both पुस्तक and किताब mean 'book'.
पुस्तक is seen as a little more 'formal' so किताब is seen more in daily conversations.
पुस्तकें is the plural of पुस्तक and किताबें is the plural of किताब. They mean 'books'.
You use उनका, उनके or उनकी depending on whether the noun that is its object is singular(male), plural(male) or female respectively. SInce बेटा is singular, you should stick to उनका. Compare with the sentences हम उनके बेटे हैं - We are their sons मैं उनकी बेटी हूँ- I am their daughter हम उनकी बेटियां हैं- We are their daughters
उसका is 'his/her' while उनका is 'their'.
However, उनका may also be used to refer to a single person when you are being respectful/formal.
I am always confused with these words: ये, वे, उसका, उसकी, उसके, उसको, इसका, इसकी, इसके, उनका, उनकी, उनके, इनका, इनकी, इनके Can you please explain
यह - this/he/she/it - when the person/thing is nearby (either literaly or figuratively)
वह - that/he/she/it - when the person/thing is far away (either literaly or figuratively)
ये - these/they - plural of यह
वे - those/they - plural of वह
इसका, इसकी, इसके - यह+का,यह+की,यह+के - 'her'/'his'/'its' - इसका if possession is masculine singular, इसकी if it is masculine plural and इसके if it is feminine
उसका, उसकी, उसके - वह+का,वह+की,वह+के - 'her'/'his'/'its' - उसका if possession is masculine singular, उसके if it is masculine plural and उसकी if it is feminine
इनका, इनकी, इनके - ये+का,ये+की,ये+के - 'their' - इनका if possession is masculine singular, इनकी if it is masculine plural and इनके if it is feminine
उनका, उनकी, उनके - वे+का,वे+की,वे+के - 'their' - उनका if possession is masculine singular, उनके if it is masculine plural and उनकी if it is feminine
इसको - यह+को - 'to her'/'to him'/'to it'
उसको - वह+को - 'to her'/'to him'/'to it'
इनको - ये+को - 'to them'
उनको - वे+को - 'to them'
अपना/अपनी/अपने (note that the first character is अ not आ) is used when you want to refer back to the subject of the sentence or clause.
For example, in the sentence 'I am going to my brother's house', the subject is 'I'. The pronoun 'my' is referring to the same noun as the subject of the sentence. In such a situation, Hindi would use आपने as the pronoun (instead of the usual pronoun for 'my' which is मेरे). The translation would be 'मैं अपने भाई के घर जा रहा हूँ'.
Similarly, in 'Julia is playing with her cat' if the pronoun 'her' is referring to 'Julia' who is the subject of the sentence, it would be translated as अपनी. This sentence would be translated as 'जूलिया अपनी बिल्ली के साथ खेल रही है'.
Similar to other possessive pronouns, the choice of अपना, अपनी or अपने is made depending on the gender and number of the noun that comes after it.
In what circumstances we use apna, apne, apni via mera, mere and meri and what their differences. E.g. i am cleaning my room . Here my they use apna kamla This is my phone. Here my use mera phone
Look at whether or not the pronouns are referring to the subjects of the sentences. If they are, then use 'apna'.
'I am cleaning my room' - Here, the subject is 'I'. The pronoun 'my' is referring to the subject. So, we use 'apna' and this sentence will be 'मैं अपना कमरा साफ़ कर रहा हूँ। '
'Neha is cleaning my room' - Here, the subject is 'Neha'. But the pronoun is referring to me, not Neha. So, we don't use 'apna'. The sentence will be 'नेहा मेरा कमरा साफ़ कर रही है। '
'Neha is cleaning her room' - Here, the subject is 'Neha'. The pronoun 'her' is also referring to Neha, the subject of the sentence. So, we use 'apna'. The sentence will be 'नेहा अपना कमरा साफ़ कर रही है '.
'I am cleaning her room' - Here, the subject is 'I'. But the pronoun 'her' is not referring to me, the subject. So, 'apna' is not used. The sentence will be मैं उसका कमरा साफ़ कर रहा हूँ
'This is my phone' - The subject is 'this'. The pronoun 'my' is not referring to the subject. So, apna is not used. The sentence will be 'यह मेरा फोन है'..
You use इसका when the person you're referring to is nearby (physically or figuratively), when you're pointing at their picture, for instance.
