Conversation

Can you help me?

Tusī mērī madad kar sakde ho?

To view this with Audio and practice games, visit www.CultureAlley.com/Punjabi

Grammar tip

Sakde communicates the ability to do something (can do/ can help etc.)

kar sakde is used because help (madad) is not a complete verb in itself

The complete verb is madad kar However, since 'can' here is in the form of a

question therefore it will translate to 'kī'
