Hindi Pronoun

In Hindi grammar, "सर्वनाम" (Sarvanaam) refers to pronouns. Pronouns are words that are used in place of nouns to avoid repetition and make sentences less cumbersome. Sarvanaam (pronouns) play a crucial role in constructing sentences and expressing ideas more efficiently.

There are three types of personal pronouns given in the table below:

First person	Helping Verb	Example
I - मैं (Mai)/मैने (Mai ne) We - हम (Hum)	Am - हूँ (Hun) Are - हैं (Hain)	मैं जा रहा हूँ (" I am going ") हम जा रहे हैं ( " We are going ")
