Did you notice?

We are using lak(plural) and notlak(singular) as we are addressing

the person asp

This is used as we are showing respect


48/59

Use of Plural Forms - Showing Respect

You will notice, that in Hindi, the sentences whereyou have to give respect to the person addressed,you use the plural forms of verbs and adjectives.

Keep this in mind as we go forward.

E.g You are a boy =p k lak hai(notp klaka hai)
