Usage notes

  • کا is a possessive particle in Urdu to show relationships with people and things, and in many cases it can be translated as an apostrophe s as possession would be used in English. It is not used to show possession by people of objects, and, as such, is also frequently used as an adjective termination, e.g. sone-kī ghaṛī, 'a gold watch'; kāṭh-kā ghoṛā, 'a wooden horse'
  • The oblique form کے (kē) forms a large number of compound pospositions such as کے ساتھ (kē sāth) (with), کے پیچھے (ke pīćhē) (behind), etc.
