A Door Into Hindi: Lesson 22

View movie about Oblique with time expressions

महीना, साल, हफ़्ता, दिनshould be in oblique (even though they are not followed by a postposition) it they are used in expressions meaning “at or in a certain month/ day / seek / year / part of the day” just like expressions meaning “at a certain time.” For example:

 वह उस महीने गुजरात जा रही है।

 = She is going to Gujarat this month.

 मैंने उस दिन  एक अच्छी मूवी देखी।

 = I saw a good movie that day.

 मैं अगले हफ़ते भारत जाऊँगी।

 = I’ll go to India next week.

Note: If the name of a month is mentioned, we use the postposition में:

 e.g. वह नवम्बर में मुबई जाएगी।

Note: If the name of a day is mentioned, we use the postposition को:

e.g.  वहीदा रहमान शुक्रवार को नहीं आएगी।
