Playing Card Names

Today I have decided to post an unusual Hindi lesson. It's about playing card names in Hindi. I personally love playing cards and there was a time when I tried to find their names in Hindi but couldn't. It's unbelievable how big is the Hindi/Urdu language and how little online resources there are. In any case, I think that it's really cool to know names of unusual things in another language. So here it goes:



NOTE: You might notice that some card names shown here are feminine and some are masculine. Ace will always stay masculine as well as Jack and King ("huqam kaa gulaam/baadshaah"). The Queen will always be feminine ("huqam kee begam"). The cards numbered from 2-10 can have a male or female version. For example: "huqam kee dukkee" (f) and "huqam ka dukkaa" (m). In our post we use the female version, but you can use the male version too.
