What is 'अं' called in Hindi?
Answer
'अं' is called 'Anusvaar'. It is a dot above the letter and makes a nasal sound like 'n' or 'm'. For example, in 'अंक' (ank), the 'अं' sounds like 'n'.
What sound does 'अं' make?
Answer
'अं' makes a nasal sound. It is like adding 'n' or 'm' at the end of a letter. For example, 'अंगूर' (angoor) sounds like 'an-go-or', not 'a-go-or'.
Give two examples of words with 'अं'.
Answer
1. अंक (ank) – Number<br>2. अंगूर (angoor) – Grapes<br>Both words use 'अं' which gives a nasal sound at the beginning.
How do you write 'अं' in a word like 'बंदर'?
Answer
In 'बंदर', 'अं' comes after 'ब'. So, it is written as 'ब' + 'ं' = 'बं'. The dot above shows the nasal sound. Then add 'दर' to complete 'बंदर'.
What is 'अँ' called in Hindi?
Answer
'अँ' is called 'Chandrabindu'. It looks like a small crescent moon with a dot. It also makes a nasal sound, but with a different tone than 'अं'.
What is the difference between 'अं' and 'अँ'?
Answer
'अं' has a dot above and is called Anusvaar. 'अँ' has a crescent (like the moon) and a dot, called Chandrabindu. Both make nasal sounds, but 'अँ' is used in words like 'अँगूठी' and 'ऊँट'.
Give two examples of words with 'अँ'.
Answer
1. अँगूठी (angoothee) – Ring<br>2. ऊँट (oonṭ) – Camel<br>Both use 'अँ' which gives a nasal and slightly longer sound.
How is 'अँ' written in 'चाँद'?
Answer
In 'चाँद', 'अँ' comes after 'चा'. So, it is written as 'चा' + 'ँ' = 'चाँ'. Then add 'द' to make 'चाँद', which means moon.
