Vachan (वचन) means number in Hindi grammar — it tells whether a noun refers to one (Ekvacan = Singular) or more than one (Bahuvachan = Plural). The plural form depends on the noun's gender and its word ending.
वचन = एकवचन (एक) या बहुवचन (एक से अधिक) का बोध कराने वाला व्याकरणिक गुण। एकवचन: लड़का, किताब, घर | बहुवचन: लड़के, किताबें, घर
Section 1
What is Vachan?वचन क्या है?
Ekvacan (one) → Bahuvachan (many) — घर stays same in direct plural: a key Hindi rule!
वचन = संज्ञा की वह व्याकरणिक कोटि जो एक (एकवचन) या एक से अधिक (बहुवचन) का बोध कराती है।

Vachan Cascades Through the Sentence
When a noun changes number, everything in the sentence must agree: एक अच्छा लड़का आया → तीन अच्छे लड़के आए
Noun + adjective + verb — all change together. This is the chain reaction of Vachan.

Hindi has two types: Ekvacan (एकवचन — singular) and Bahuvachan (बहुवचन — plural). Sanskrit had three (including dual), but modern Hindi uses only two.हिंदी में दो वचन: एकवचन और बहुवचन।
Masculine nouns ending in consonants remain unchanged in the direct plural: घर, पेड़, दोस्त, काम, नाम, आदमी, पक्षी. But they DO change in oblique plural: घरों में, पेड़ों के, दोस्तों को.पुल्लिंग व्यंजनांत: घर→घर, पेड़→पेड़ (लेकिन घरों में, पेड़ों के)
