    Understanding Hindi grammar and pronouns can help one learn Hindi. There are five types of pronouns in Hindi: personal pronouns which indicate first, second and third person; demonstrative pronouns which point to particular people or things; indefinite pronouns which refer to general people and things; relative pronouns which give relations; and interrogative pronouns which ask questions. Hindi pronouns have cases but not vocative cases, and gender is usually shown by verb conjugation rather than separate pronouns.
