The vocative is a noun used to address someone. In English the vocative may be:<\/span><\/p>\n

“Hey you!”, “Guys!, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n

Basically the vocative is a modified form of the nominative.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are some examples in Hindi:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u092d\u093e\u0907\u092f\u094b<\/span><\/strong> <\/span><\/strong>\u0914\u0930<\/span><\/strong> <\/span><\/strong>\u092c\u0939\u0928\u094b<\/span><\/strong> ! (Brothers and sisters!)<\/span><\/p>\n

\u0932\u095c\u0915\u094b<\/span><\/strong> ! (Boy!)<\/span><\/p>\n

\u092c\u091a\u094d\u091a\u094b<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0! (Kid!)<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The common ending for all three vocative endings was <\/span>\u094b<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Now take a look at these vocatives:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u0939\u0947<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>\u092d\u0917\u0935\u093e\u0928<\/span><\/strong> ! (O Lord!)<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u0939\u0947<\/span><\/strong> <\/span><\/strong>\u0930\u093e\u092e<\/span><\/strong> ! (O Raam!)<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You’ll notice that <\/span>\u0939\u0947<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0serves as a sort of prefix. In English, this <\/span>\u0939\u0947<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>would mean “O” as in “O Lord”. The particle <\/span>\u0939\u0947<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0is commonly used before words borrowed from Sanskrit.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Now take a look at these sentences:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u0910<\/span><\/strong> <\/span>\u0932\u095c\u0915\u094b<\/span><\/strong> <\/span><\/strong>! (Hey, boy!)<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u0910<\/span><\/strong> <\/span>\u092d\u0917\u0908<\/span><\/strong> ! (Oh, mister [brother]!)<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When\u00a0the particle <\/span>\u0910<\/span><\/strong> <\/span><\/strong>is placed before the noun, this can give the effect of “hey!” or “oh!”<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
