Now, each consonant already has the first vowel sound as part of it.  But you can add each of the other vowels to produce different sounds.  This is what it looks like for the first consonants क.

क + आ = का

क + इ = कि

क + ई = की

क + उ = कु

क + ऊ = कू

क + ए = के

क + ऐ = कै

क + ओ = को

क + औ = कौ

It is the same pattern for the other consonants.
