自学印地语06:你做什么工作？

You'll have made phrases like
मेरी पत्नी का पैसा  
meri patni ka paisa
'my wife's money'.
Great! Now look carefully at these phrases:

लड़का का दोस्त ladke ka dost the boy's friend

उसके पी दो चाबियाँ हैं
uske pas do chabiyan hain. He/she has two keys.
But look at the following and notice the difference:
