Ultimate Guide to Noun in Hindi | Exercise For Practice Included

Have you ever tried calling your friend without their name? or Telling a taxi driver where it is you exactly would like to go without uttering the name of the place? It's quite challenging isn't it? Not only would it sound rubbish and broken but it also makes things hard to explain.

This is why it's utterly important to learn about nouns. Nouns are the basic building blocks for a sentence, which hold true for both English and Hindi languages.

It would be a challenge to form a sentence and have a conversation without mentioning the subject of the discussion. From what we have experienced, the more nouns you know, the better you will be at communicating ideas.

There is enough evidence which suggests that correlating nouns or words across languages boosts learning a new language. This is great news for native English speakers trying to learn new languages like Hindi voluntarily.

There are a lot more pieces to the ins and outs of Hindi grammar. But with that said, let's get on with the main attraction - What are nouns in Hindi?

What is Noun in Hindi? संज्ञा किसे कहते है?

संज्ञा (Sangya / Noun):
संज्ञा वह शब्द है जो किसी व्यक्ति, स्थान, वस्तु या भावना का नाम बताता है। यह किसी चीज़ या व्यक्ति की पहचान कराता है।

उदाहरण:
राम (व्यक्ति), मुंबई (स्थान), किताब (वस्तु), सिंह (जानवर), दुःख (भावना)।

संज्ञा के भेद ( types of Nouns ) (sangya ke bhed)

Traditionally, there were 5 types of Sangya(संज्ञा ), but in a modern setting, we consider only 3 types. १. व्यक्तिवाचक संज्ञा (vyakti vaachak sangya) ( Proper noun ) २. जातिवाचक संज्ञा ( jaati vaachak sangya ) ( Common noun ) ३. भाववाचक संज्ञा ( bhaav vaachak sangya ) ( Abstract noun )

There are also two other subcategories, but we’ll talk about them later. Does all this talk about Hindi Nouns makes it seem like Hindi is too hard for you? You can consider taking online Hindi Lessons by us to speed up your progress.

व्यक्तिवाचक संज्ञा (vyakti vaachak sangya) ( Proper noun )

The words that suggest the names of a particular person(व्यक्ति or Vyakti), place (स्थान or Sthaan) or thing ( वस्तु or Vastu ) are called व्यक्तिवाचक संज्ञा ( vyakti vaachak sangya or Proper noun ) Example: राम १४ वर्ष वन में रहे | ( ram 14 varsh van mein rahe ) ( Ram lived in the forest for 14 years. ) मैं सिएटल गया था | ( mein Seattle gaya tha ) ( I had been to Seattle. ) वो मेरी किताब है | ( voh meri kitaab hai ) ( That’s my book.).

सिंह को जंगल का राजा कहा जाता है | ( sinh ko jungle ka raaja kahaa jaata hai ) ( Lion is called the king of the jungle ). In all of the above examples; Ram, Ghaziabad, Book, and Lion are proper nouns (व्यक्तिवाचक संज्ञा or vyakti vaachak sangya ).

जातिवाचक संज्ञा ( jaati vaachak sangya ) ( Common noun )

The words which give a sense of the whole species of an animal ( जानवर or Jaanavar), thing( वस्तु or Vastu), or place ( स्थान or Sthaan ) are called जातिवाचक संज्ञा ( jaati vaachak sangya ) ( Common noun ).

Example: पहाड़ (pahaad), नदी(nadi) , लड़का(ladakaa) , गाय(gaaya) , शहर(shahar) or Mountain, River, Boy, Cow, City

भाववाचक संज्ञा ( bhaav vaachak sangya ) ( Abstract noun )

Those nouns from which we get the knowledge of the quality, defect, condition etc. of the creature or a thing is called भाववाचक संज्ञा ( bhaav vaachak sangya ) ( Abstract noun ).

Example: क्रोध (krodh), यौवन (youvan), मिठास (mithas), साहस (saahas), वीरता (veerata)। or Anger, youth, Sweetness, courage, Valor. But there are other 2 subcategories in nouns.

1. द्रव्यवाचक संज्ञा (dravya vaachak sangya or Material noun )

2. समूहवाचक संज्ञा ( samuha vaachak sangya or Collective noun )

1. द्रव्यवाचक संज्ञा ( dravya vaachak sangya or Material noun )

Words that refer to solid (ठोस or thos), liquid (तरल or Taral), metal (धातु or Dhaatu), substance (पदार्थ or Padarth ) or non-metal ( अधातु or Adhaatu ) are called द्रव्यवाचक संज्ञा ( dravya vaachak sangya or Material noun )

Example: चावल ( chaval or Rice ), चीनी ( chini or Sugar ), आटा ( aata or Flour ), तेल ( Tel or Oil ), लोहा ( Loha or Iron ), सोना ( sona or Gold ).

2. समूहवाचक संज्ञा ( samuha vaachak sangya or Collective noun )

The words which denote a group of people or things of the same species are called समूहवाचक संज्ञा ( samuha vaachak sangya or Collective noun )

Example: परिवार ( parivar or family ), समूह ( samuha or group ), संघ ( sangh or Union ), गुच्छा ( guccha or bunch ), सेना ( sena or Army ).

संज्ञा के विकार ( sangya ke vikaar ) ( Conjugations of Noun )

The words which bring a change or disorder in the noun are called विकारी तत्व ( Vikaru tatva) ( Vicarious Elements ). The forms of noun change due to gender (लिंग ), number ( वचन ) and factor (कारक ).
