Lesson Content
These three letters are called conjunct consonants (संयुक्त वर्ण). Each one is formed by joining two consonants together into a single new shape. They are taught as the last letters of the Hindi alphabet.
| Conjunct | Made from | Transliteration | Example Word | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| क्ष | क + ष | ksh / kshe | क्षत्रिय (Kshatriya) | Warrior caste |
| त्र | त + र | tr | त्रिशूल (trisool) | Trident (Lord Shiva's weapon) |
| ज्ञ | ज + ञ | gy / gya | ज्ञान (gyaan) | Knowledge / Wisdom |
Memory tip: Think of क्ष as the "ksh" in "lakeshore", त्र as "tr" in "tree", and ज्ञ as "gy" in "gyan" (wisdom). You will see ज्ञान in many temples and school mottoes!
