इ और ई की मात्रा (ि ी) — Hindi worksheet

छोटी इ की मात्रा (ि) is written BEFORE the letter but said after it: द + ि = दि (दिल). बड़ी ई की मात्रा (ी) comes after the letter: ल + ी = ली (मछली). A short sound needs ि, a long sound needs ी.

याद रखें

छोटी इ आगे, बड़ी ई पीछे — “ि is written before the letter, ी after it”

  1. ि is written before the letter: कि, दि, सि.
  2. ी is written after the letter: की, दी, ली.
  3. Listen to the sound: short इ in दिल, long ई in मछली.

Use it for: Class 1 and 2 spelling: words like किताब, चिड़िया, मछली and रानी.

Worked example: किस शब्द में ‘ई’ की मात्रा (ी) है? (Which word has the ई matra?) → मछली

  1. ‘ी’ ‘ई’ की मात्रा है। हर शब्द देखो: पल ✗, मछली ✓, भेड़िया ✗.
  2. ‘मछली’ में ‘ई’ की मात्रा (ी) है।

Check: मछली ends with ली = ल + ी ✓
