In my previous blog<\/a>, I explained the Hindi particle “bhi.” In this blog, I will explain a related concept – the particle “hi.” Like “bhi,” this particle needs to be placed with care directly behind the word or phrase it is modifying. While “bhi” can mean “also, too, even, as well as,” “hi” lends a different shade of meaning \u2013 it can be roughly translated as “just” and “only” in some circumstances but is difficult to translate in other contexts. But, like “bhi,” “hi” conveys a sense of emphasis and sometimes restriction that lends more personality, meaning and intensity to a sentence. Let’s explore a few examples to understand the many facets of this fascinating little particle.<\/p>\n
