हिंदकी के बारे में / About Hindki

Hindki is a collection of my personal notes on learning Hindi, and an evolving knowledge base that (maybe, hopefully) I can one day use as the backend of an AI-powered language tutor. If it helps you too, बढ़िया!

It includes a dictionary, grammar notes, and other resources I’ve found helpful in my studies.

As I learn more Hindi, I’ll convert this and the rest of the interface to Hindi as well. Maybe. We’ll see.

इसका नाम क्यों “हिंदकी”? / Why the name ‘Hindki’?

The name “Hindki” is a play on the words “Hindi” and “Anki”, because I was initially building this as a personal flashcard system similar to Anki, but for Hindi. It also kind of works as a Hindi adjective meaning “related to Hindi” (in fact, this word exists in Persian), and it is also a sort of “wiki”, since it’s a knowledge base. Finally, if you needed yet another pun, it’s the “key” to my Hindi education. All very satisfying.

As for whether it’s actually a good name, I’ll let you be the judge.

यह कैसा बना गया था? / How was this made?

While I doubt many people are curious, I wrote it down (if for no other reason than to help myself next time I want to make a similar site). Here it is.
