Note: In this conversation, you can see ‘nee’ and ‘mee’ are used for ‘your’ and ‘naa’ and ‘maa’ are used for ‘my’. ‘naa’ means ‘mine’, ‘nee’ means ‘your’; similarly ‘maa’ & ‘mee’ are used for ‘mine’ and ‘your’ with respect. While talking about elders, and respected personalities, we use ‘mee (your)’, ‘maa (my)’ pronouns.

Practice: Practice these by talking to your family and friends as much as possible and in gatherings.
