Hindi Vowels have two forms: one form for when they are pronounced independently, and one form for when the vowel joins with a consonant in a word.

Also, 33 consonants prevail in Hindi. They are sectioned in the alphabet as per the usage of the mouth and throat while pronouncing them. Hindi makes use of more consonants than English does, and some of them don't have any undeviating equivalent in English. The (a) sitting next to some consonants implies that the pronunciation would be in the line of aspirated (i.e., with a strong breath of air such as p in "pit" or "puff").
