Usage notes

[edit]
  • کا () is a possessive particle in Urdu to show relationships with people and things, and in many cases it can be translated as an apostrophe s as possession would be used in English. It is not used to show possession by people of objects, and, as such, is also frequently used as an adjective termination, e.g.:
    • سونے کی گھَڑیsone ghaṛīa gold watch
    • کاٹھ کا گھوڑاkāṭh ghoṛāa wooden horse
  • In the case of the pronouns of the first and second persons, کا () takes the form را (): میرا (merā), تیرا (terā), ہَمارا (hamārā), تُمْہارا (tumhārā).
  • The masculine oblique کے (ke) and feminine oblique کی () form a large number of compound postpositions such as کے ساتھ (ke sāth, with), کے پِیچھے (ke pīche, behind), کی طَرْح ( tarh, like) etc.
