Present Perfect Tense

Posted on

 Hi, learners! After a long time I am writing this article. Today you are going to learn use of Present Perfect Tense in Hindi language. I hope you will learn something new.

PRESENT PERFECT TENSE

AASANN BHOOT KAAL / आसन्न भूत काल

The present perfect tense is a tense of the past. It represents a completed act, the effect of which is still present. It brings a past act into relation with the present. In other words, it denotes an action concluded recently e.g. I have drunk the water/maine paani piya hai / मैंने पानी पिया है or main paani pee chukka/chuki hoon/ मैं पानी पी चुका/चुकी हूँ।  ‘Drunk’/पिया/पी चुका/चुकी shows that the action was over in the past. ‘Have’ indicates that it is recent past. So we have to use both past tense and present tense symbols.

1.  For more information please see past indefinite tense.

2. Add present tense symbols hoon/ho/hai/hain according to subject.

3. Add hai/है or hain/हैं according to the number of the object.

4. Ne/ने will be added to subject.

5. It  shows eaten/drunk/gone/slept/khaya/peeya/gaya/soya/chukka/chuki/chukey/खाया/पीय/गया/चुकी/चुके in          the end.

Examples/उदाहरण:

1. Ravi has come here.

   Ravi yahan aaya hai/ Ravi yahan aa chukka hai./ रवि यहाँ आया है/ रवि यहाँ आ चुका है।

    Aaya/aa chukka /आया/ आ चुका is past tense and hai/है is present tense. Hence it is

    present  perfect tense. We use hai/है because it stands for 3rd person.

2. Ritu has written an essay.

    Ritu ne ek patr likha hai./ रितु ने एक पत्र लिखा है।

3. I have gone there.

    Main wahan ja chukka hoon./ मैं वहाँ जा चुका हूँ।

4. He has beaten his younger brother.

    Usne apne chote bhai ko peeta hai./उसने अपने छोटे भाई को पीटा है।

5.  Mother has prepared Maggie for us.

     Mata ji ne humare liye Maggie banayee thee./माता जी ने हमारे लिए मैगी बनायी है।

   Vocabulary/शब्दकोष:

    To come-aana/आना, to write- likhna/लिखना, to go-jana/जाना, to beat-peetna/पीटना, to prepare-                          banana/taeyyar karna/बनाना/तैयार करना

    Thank you/dhanyavaad/धन्यवाद!

Present Indefinite Tense

Posted on Updated on

Learners! I always feel when we don’t know how to translate the sentence in other language like Hindi then it is so difficult to find it’s answer. I am thinking that I should tell you how to translate the English sentence to Hindi, so we will start it with simple present tense. In this article you will learn the translations from English to Hindi.

PRESENT INDEFINITE TENSE /SAMANYA VARTMAAN KAAL

सामान्य वर्तमान काल

The present Indefinite tense, known as simple present tense, indicate an action in the present, an action taking place now. e.g. I play, You run, It runs, They eat, She sings etc.

In Hindi, the indefinite is formed by adding the suffix ता, ते, or ती according to the gender and number of subject.
And sentence ended with हूँ, हो, हैं, है.

Subject

Verb

Masculine

Feminine

Present tense

Main/ मैं

kha/खा

ta/ता

tee/ती

hoon/ हूँ

Tum/ तुम

kha/खा

te/ते

tee/ती

ho/ हो

Yeh,veh/ यह, वह

kha/खा

ta/ता

tee/ती

hai/ है

Hum,aap/ हम, आप

kha/खा

te/ते

hain/ हैं

ye,ve/ ये, वे

kha/खा

te/ते

hain/ हैं

Note:-

1.    All masculine plural have same suffix te / ते  added to the verb root.

2.    All feminine subjects take the same suffix teeती added to the verb root.

3.    All plural, both masculine and feminine, have the same present tense indicator hainहैं.

4.    The negative nahinनहीं  will come before verb.

5.    If the subject is feminine plural and if nahinनहीं is used, then the verb takes a dot above e.g. Girls do not play- ladkiyaan nahin khelti hainलड़कियां नहीं खेलती हैं।

6.    Women mostly use humहम  instead of mainमैं  for singular in India. When they use humहम they end the sentence with masculine plural verb instead of feminine verb. Thus, instead of saying main khhati hoonमैं खाती हूँ, a modern woman will say hum khaatey hainहम खाते हैं. For plual also they say hum khaate hainहम खाते हैं।

.According to English grammar, sentence is the combination of  

Subject + verb / Action + object

 Lets take an example-

 I drink the milk.

        I (subject) + drink (verb /action) + milk (object)

        This is the universal pattern of English grammar.

        Now there is a little bit difference in Hindi.

        Subject + object + verb/action

 I             + milk     + drink

 Main        doodh     peeta hoon.

Other examples:

1.   When does the baby sleep?

      Bachha kab sota hai? बच्चा कब सोता है?

2.   We purchase the fruits from the market.

      Hum jaj baajar se fal khareedte hai हम रोज बाजार से फ़ल खरीदते हैं।

3  They speak the truth always.

      Ve hamesha sach bolte hai. वे हमेशा सच बोलते हैं।

4  The sun rises from the east.

      Suraj poorva disha se nikalta hai. सूरज पूर्व दिशा से निकलता है।

5  Whom do you write the letter?

     Tum kisko patra likhte ho? तुम किसको पत्र लिखते हो?

 

Vocabulary / शब्दकोष 

to sleep – sona/सोना, to purchase – khareedna/ख़रीदना, to speak- bolna/बोलना, to rise – nikalna/ugna/निकलना/उगना, to write / likhna / लिखना

Use of Imperative

Posted on Updated on

Learners! Today I am going to show you how to use Imperative(आदेशसूचक) .

The Imperative denotes command, order, request, prohibition, entreaty etc. In this article we will learn about the usage of ‘You’ in Hindi language. i.e. thou, you, you-respect (तू, तुम, आप).

तू (Tu) is used in addressing God, servants, or children and in affection for mother, sister, younger brother etc. or for expressing strong feelings like contempt or anger.

तुम (Tum) is used in addressing family members, equals, servants and juniors.

आप (Aap) is the polite and respectful form of address for all, both in singular and in plural. It is used an addressing strangers and super minors. As there is only one you in English for singular-plural-respect, ‘Aap’ is translated as ‘you please’.

When तुम (Tum ) is subject, ओ (O) (letter or sound) is appended to the verb e.g. You (please) come- तुम आओ, You read- तुम पढ़ो ।

When आप (aap) is subject. इए (ea) (letter or sound) is appended to the verb e.g. You (please) speak- आप बोलिए (बोल + इए)। You read – आप पढ़िये(पढ़ + इए). ea is showing more politeness.

Other examples:

You go- sleep-bring-eat-write-play-see

तुम जाओ- सोओ- लाओ- खाओ-लिखो-खेलो-देखो
आप जाइए- सोइए- लाइए- खाइए- लिखिये- खेलिए- देखिए

The negative or prohibitive form of the Imperative is obtained by placing मत (matt) or न (na). immediately before the verb.

Of the two, न (na) is polite but weak. मत (Matt) is empathetic but less polite. नहीं(Nahin) is never used in Imperative.

तुम कुर्सी पर मत बैठो। Tum kursi par mat baitho. Don’t sit on the chair.

तुम न जाओ। Tum na jaao. Don’t go.

तुम इस काम को मत करो। Tum is kaam ko mat karo. Don’t do this work.
