Hindi Letter ऐ (ai) Worksheet

  • Ages 3–7
  • Beginner friendly
  • Free printable PDF
  • A4 · print at home

ऐ is the ninth swar of the Hindi varnamala and makes an "ai" sound, like the "ai" in "aisle." Your child will see that ऐ looks like ए with one extra little stroke on top, and trace it carefully on gentle dotted guides.

We link ऐ to the word ऐनक (ainak), meaning spectacles or glasses, an everyday item children can spot at home. Made for ages 2 to 7, these activities grow letter recognition, sound awareness and pencil control. With each careful stroke, your little one moves happily forward in learning Hindi.

Free for home and classroom use. The preview shows a sample of the printable worksheet.
