Lesson 26.05A2
Describing People
लोगों का वर्णन
Describing appearance and personality puts the adjective-agreement rules from the last lesson to real use — just as with colors and general adjectives, watch each -आ-ending Hindi word (लंबा/लंबी) track the gender of the person being described, exactly like French's grand/grande does.
