Today, I would like to teach an interesting topic. There are words in Hindi that goes in pair. These pair can be from a same word, two different words, opposite words, meaningful & meaningless and two meaningless words. As every Hindi speaker uses these words pair in daily life, it is important to have an idea about them. Sometime these words pair would mean quite different than their literal meanings which make them also interesting to learn. So, I have given those pairs which mean different and could be confusing.

These pair could be noun, adverb or verb or both of any, therefore the grouping for each pair is given in bracket.
How you can use these pairs as noun, adverb or verb?…There is an example sentences that will clarify the usage.

So, Lets learn some word pairs from each type.
