Who has the key?<br />

बनाए जाते ह� ।<br />

चाबी �कसके पास है ?<br />

Mary lost her vehicle key. म�रयम उसके वाहन क� चाबी<br />

Raja has a multicolored<br />

umbrella.<br />

Use an umbrella 12 for<br />

protect from the Sun.<br />

The baby was cold, so his<br />

mother put a blanket over<br />

him.<br />

खो �दया है ।<br />

राजा के पास रंग-�बरंगा/<br />

बहुरंगी 11 छाता है ।<br />

सूय� से बचने के �लए एक छतर�<br />

का इ�तेमाल कर� ।<br />

ब�चे को ठंड लगी थी तो उसके<br />

माँ ने उसके उपर एक कं बल डाल<br />

�दया 13 ।<br />

Throw blankets are smaller ‘�ो �ल�के �स’ 14 छोटे कं बल ह� ।<br />

Chabi kiske pas hai<br />

Mariam uske vaahan ki chabi kho<br />

diya hai<br />

Raja ke pas bahurangi chata hai<br />

11 Not used as an expression with umbrellas; but, if it were, छाता is<br />

Surya se bachne ke liye ek chatari<br />

ka istemaal karem<br />

Bachche ko thand lagi thi <strong>to</strong> uske<br />

maa ne uske upar ek kambal daal<br />

diya<br />

‘Throw blankets’ chote kambal hai<br />

masculine, hence it would be better for students <strong>to</strong> see बहुरंगा छाता, even<br />

though बहुरंगी be completely proper.<br />

12 While perfectly correct, “umbrella” [little shade] is now taken <strong>to</strong> be rain<br />

apparel; <strong>to</strong> distinguish, people often say “sun umbrella”, “parasol”, and<br />

even “sunshade”. Also छतर� is a parasol, a small umbrella.<br />

13 We are in a quandary here: डालना is “<strong>to</strong> spread (a blanket)”; whereas डाल<br />

देना can be either “<strong>to</strong> abandon, <strong>to</strong> cast off; <strong>to</strong> thrust in”… or “give a bridal<br />

gift”–and <strong>to</strong> some, “<strong>to</strong> give a branch”. To avoid confusion, it may be well <strong>to</strong><br />

use the simple डालना.
