Meaning of Word:

• There (Hindi: वहां, वहाँ) is an adverb used to refer to a location or place, indicating a distant or specified place, or to introduce a situation or condition.

Etymology:

• The word “there” comes from Old English þær, which is used to indicate location or existence. It is related to the Proto-Germanic þar, and has been used in English for centuries to point out a particular place or state.

Detailed Explanation:

• “There” is primarily used as an adverb to indicate a place or location, often referring to something distant or mentioned in a previous context. It is also used in sentences to introduce the existence of something, especially with the verb “to be” (e.g., “There is a book on the table”). In Hindi, “there” translates as “वहां” (when referring to a distant place) or “वहाँ” depending on the context of formality or location.

Examples:

1. वह वहां खड़ा है।
   (He is standing there.)
2. वहां एक बड़ा बाजार है।
   (There is a big market there.)
