Lesson Content
The U matras hang below the consonant. This is different from most other matras. You will see them dangling under letters like little tails.
| Matra | Vowel | क + matra | Example Word | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ु | उ (u) | कु (ku) | कुत्ता (kuttaa) | Dog |
| ू | ऊ (oo) | कू (koo) | फूल (phool) | Flower |
Memory tip: The ु (short u) has a single curl below. The ू (long oo) has a bigger, longer tail below. More curl = longer sound!
| Consonant | + ु (u) | Reading | + ू (oo) | Reading |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| क | कु | ku | कू | koo |
| ग | गु | gu | गू | goo |
| द | दु | du | दू | doo — दूध (milk) |
