I am not finding an image for some hindi letters:
ओ
ऑ
ऒ
ऊ
औ
उ
Could you help me, please?
Thank You!!!
I’m not familiar with Hindi, but you could group the similar ones, and then memorize the differences between them. These look similar:
ओ
ऑ
ऒ
औ
I see a 3 attached to a house with something on it.
ओ - maybe a lightning rod
ऑ - satellite dish
ऒ - flag blowing in the wind
औ - two people looking over the balcony on the roof
These have the “3” shape, but are a little different with the line on the top – maybe fishhooks?
ऊ
उ
The top one has an extra barb for a bigger fish. So many a fishhook with a tiny fish and a fishhook with a larger fish?
Or maybe a snake that is waiting tables with the top image bringing food to the table and the bottom one going back to the kitchen with an order.
What sounds do the letters make? After you have images for the letters, you can make images for the sounds, and then link everything together.
Have you tried just staring at them for a bit? I don’t know any Hindi, but I’ve found that with Chinese often times it’s enough just to stare at them until you get a really good, clear image in my brain.
Other than that, looking at them to figure out what makes them look different also should be quite helpful. If the native readers can tell them apart, then you can too, it just takes a bit of practice.
I don’t believe that Hindi has radicals the way that Chinese does, but you can always create your own. Basically take the letters apart into pieces that repeat and assign each one of them a name or symbol. By the time you memorize those, you should have a pretty good grasp on the alpha bet, even if you’re not specifically memorizing the layout.
Also, try and come at it from the perspective of these letters being something that your brain wants to memorize.
