  Numbers in Our Lives


Numbers are not only for counting, they mean to us more than that. See on the next page as how various numbers mean differently in our lives:

There are many Hindi words used in these descriptions. They are all transliterated in the following way. This way is used only to pronounce these words correctly :

Hindi           English used here       Sound as                   

a                    a                          ab, anaar,
aa                  aa                        aam, aap, aas paas,
i                      i                         imlee, is, itnaa, phir
ee                   ee                       eekh, peeth, jeet
u                     u                        ulloo, rulaanaa
oo                   oo                       ooper, roothanaa
e                     e                        ek,
ai                   ai                        ainak, aisaa,
o                     o                        omkaar, okhalee,
au                  au                        aurat, aur,
an                   n                         angoor, praant,
ah                   ah                       namah

Most consonants do not include "a" in the last to make them full, so Krishn is different from Krishnaa, or Raavan is different from Raavanaa. A is used is with the consonant in the middle wherever it is a fear that it could be used as half consonant also as Kamalaa. Wherever half consonant is used, it is used without "a", such as Kuntee.
