अंगूर
aṅgūr/əŋ.ɡuːɾ/
The Hindi word for grapes is अंगूर (aṅgūr).
अंगूर refers to small, round fruits that grow in bunches on vines.
How does it change in a sentence?
In the direct case, अंगूर is used for both singular and plural nouns. However, if you are using the oblique case (for example, when the word is followed by a postposition), the plural form becomes अंगूरों.
How do you pronounce it?
The word is pronounced /əŋ.ɡuːɾ/ and has two syllables.
What mistakes should you avoid?
When speaking Hindi, do not try to add a plural marker to अंगूर to indicate more than one grape. The word remains the same for both singular and plural in the direct case.
Did you know?
- The word अंगूर is not originally from India but was borrowed from Classical Persian.
- The pronunciation of अंगूर features a soft 'r' sound that is tapped with the tongue, a sound not found in standard English.
- While अंगूर refers to the fruit, the word for a vineyard or the vine itself is distinct, meaning a speaker rarely uses अंगूर to describe the plant.
