"और" is a conjunction in the Hindi language that translates to "and" in English. It is used to connect words, phrases, or clauses, indicating addition or inclusion. For example, in the sentence "राम Ram और श्याम Shyam स्कूल school गए," it connects the names of two people going to the school. In addition to connecting nouns, "और" can also link verbs and adjectives. For instance, "वह he तेज़ fast और बुद्धिमान intelligent है" means "He is fast and intelligent." This word plays a crucial role in forming compound sentences and enhancing the flow of ideas in communication.
