Card 1Sound of अ

What is the sound of 'अ' in Hindi?

Answer

The sound of 'अ' is like the 'u' in 'up' or 'a' in 'about'. It is a short and soft sound. For example: अनार (anaar), अचार (achaar). This sound does not have any special mark (matra) above the letter.

Card 2Matra of अ

Does the vowel 'अ' have a matra?

Answer

No, the vowel 'अ' does not have any matra. It is the default sound of a consonant when no other vowel sign is added. For example, in the word 'बस', the 'ब' has the 'अ' sound by default.

Two examples are: 1. अनार (Pomegranate) 2. अचार (Pickle). These words begin with the 'अ' sound and help us remember how it is pronounced.

Card 4Sound of आ

What is the sound of 'आ' in Hindi?

Answer

The sound of 'आ' is longer and deeper than 'अ'. It is like the 'a' in 'father' or 'ball'. For example: आम (aam), आसन (aasan). This sound uses a horizontal line (matra) above the letter.

Card 5Writing आ matra

How do you write the 'आ' matra?

'अ' is a short sound (like 'u' in 'up'), while 'आ' is a long sound (like 'a' in 'father'). 'अ' has no matra, but 'आ' uses a horizontal line (—) as its matra. Example: अनार (short 'अ') vs. आम (long 'आ'…

Card 8Forming words with आ

How is 'कार' formed using matra?

'कार' is made by combining the consonant 'क' with the 'आ' matra. So, क + आ = कार. The 'आ' matra is the horizontal line added to the right of 'क'.
