Hindi to English translations [Non-PRO] Social Sciences - Linguistics / Idiomatic Expressions | | Hindi term or phrase: मुझे हिन्दी आती है | Hi,
It's in my Hindi textbook but no explanation is given.
मुझे हिन्दी आती है literally means "Hindi is coming to me", so I think it must be an idiomatic expression.
Many thanks
