Pronomes relativos em hindi: A conexão 'Jo...Voh'

Sempre combine uma palavra com 'J' como «जो» com uma palavra com 'V' como «वो» para criar frases descritivas e complexas.

Grammar Rule in 30 Seconds

Use 'Jo' (who/which) to introduce a relative clause and 'Voh' (that/he/she) to complete the thought.

  • Jo always starts the relative clause: 'Jo ladka yahan hai...' (The boy who is here...)
  • Voh follows in the main clause: '...voh mera bhai hai.' (...he is my brother.)
  • The pair must agree in number and gender: 'Jo ladki...' needs 'voh...'
Jo + [Clause A] + Voh + [Clause B]

A Regra do 'J'

Se a sua frase começar com uma palavra com 'J' (Jo, Jab, Jahan), você quase certamente precisará de um 'V' ou 'T' correspondente. «जब मैं छोटा था, तब मैं बहुत खेलta था।»
⚠️

Não pare no meio!

Nativos esperam o 'correlativo' (Voh/Vo). Se você disser apenas 'O menino que veio...', eles ficarão esperando o resto. «जो लड़का कल आया था, वह आज नहीं आया।»
💬

O Fator Respeito

Ao usar pronomes relativos para idosos ou professores, use as formas plurais (Jinhone/Unhone) para mostrar respeito. «जिन्होंने ये गाना लिखा, वे बहुत मशहूर हैं।»

Add 'bhi' to 'Jo' to make it 'whoever'.

Jo aata hai, voh bole. Jo bhi aaye, voh bole.

Use 've' for plural subjects.

Jo log aaye, voh khush hain. Jo log aaye, ve khush hain.
