Nouns in Sindhi[edit | edit source]

Nouns are the building blocks of language. They allow us to name and identify everything around us. In Sindhi, nouns can be categorized into several types.

Common Nouns[edit | edit source]

Common nouns refer to general items rather than specific ones.

Sindhi Pronunciation English
ڪتاب kitab book
گھر ghar house
شاگرد shāgird student
کتا kutā dog

Proper Nouns[edit | edit source]

Proper nouns, on the other hand, specify particular people, places, or organizations. They are always capitalized.

Sindhi Pronunciation English
سنڌ Sindh Sindh (province)
آصف Aasif Aasif (name)

Collective nouns denote a group of individuals or things.

Abstract nouns express ideas or concepts that cannot be physically touched.

Pronouns in Sindhi[edit | edit source]

Pronouns are words that replace nouns in sentences, allowing us to avoid repetition and make our language more fluid.

Personal Pronouns[edit | edit source]

تون tūn you (informal)
هو hu he
هي hi she
اسان asān we
اوهان uhān you (formal)

Possessive Pronouns[edit | edit source]

Possessive pronouns indicate ownership.

Sindhi Pronunciation English

توھانجو tuhānjo your (informal)
هن جو hin jo his
هن جو hin jo her
اسان جو asān jo our
اوهانجو uhānjo your (formal)
انهن جو unhin jo their

Reflexive Pronouns[edit | edit source]

Reflexive pronouns refer back to the subject of the sentence.

Sindhi Pronunciation English
پاڻ pān myself
پاڻ pān yourself (informal)
پاڻ pān himself/herself
اسان پاڻ asān pān ourselves
اوهان پاڻ uhān pān yourselves (formal)
اهي پاڻ ahī pān themselves

Demonstrative Pronouns[edit | edit source]

Demonstrative pronouns point to specific things or people.

Sindhi Pronunciation English
هي hi this
اهو aahu that
اهي ahī these
اهي ahī those
