first person

We [verb] = ?? [verb] ???? (ham [verb] hain.) example: We read. ?? ????? ???? (ham pardte hain.) masculine second person

The second person can be a little confusing. There are three versions of you. ?? (tuu), ??? (tum), and ?? (aap). All three of which can be used when talking to a single person. The first one ?? (tuu) is grammatically singular and is the l east formal. It would be used when talking to your child, for instance. The ot her two ??? (tum), and ?? (aap) are grammatically plural. The most polite versi on is ?? (aap). You will want to remember these combinations of the three you per verbs. ?? (tuu) and ?? (hai) ??? (tum) and ?? (ho) ?? (aap) and ??? (hain) Now in the present tense, the singular masculine is the verb root with ?? (ta) add ed. And the plural case is the root with ?? (te) added.

Phone Phrase Part 1 Who is this? By admin June 9, 2008Posted in: Beginner, Conversations and Phrases, Meena, Naraindas, Na than, Uncategorized 1 Star2 Stars3 Stars4 Stars5 Stars (7 votes, average: 4.86 out of 5) Standard Podcast [ 8:33 ] Hide Player | Play in Popup | Download Today is Monday, June 9, 2008. Who is this? (with respect) ?? ??? ???? When talking to someone with respect, you use the plural version of pronouns and verbs. Therefore, if you look at ?? ??? ???? You would literally have Who are th ese? Which would not make sense. But in Hindi, when talking to someone with respe ct, it is correct. ?? = these (formal; grammatically plural) The singular form of ?? is ??. ??? = who ??? = are The singular version of ??? is ??. The bindu appears with the plural version but is not present in the singular version. The bindu adds a nasal sound. If you want to say Who is this? in a casual way, without the formal respect that i

s in

?? ??? ???? , then you would say ???? ??? ???? ??? ?? ??? ??? ??? ????

?? ??? ??? .

What is your name? Who is speaking?

In English, we often try to make phrases seem more respectful by adding please . Fo r example, instead of saying Who is speaking? we might say, who is speaking please? . It might be tempting to add ????? which is the Hindi word for please into these phr ases. However, that is not necessary, because ?? and ?? already convey the respect. #259 Past Tense By admin June 25, 2008Posted in: Beginner, Meena, Naraindas, Nathan 1 Star2 Stars3 Stars4 Stars5 Stars (15 votes, average: 4.47 out of 5) Standard Podcast Hide Player | Play in Popup | Download #259 Past Tense Regular Transitive Verbs
