Hindi Verbs

Hindi verbs are inflected with respect to

gender of the subject (masculine, feminine)

number of the subject (singular, plural)

tense (present, past, future)

action (perfect, imperfect, continuous)

degree of respect (intimate, familiar, respect)

Verbs are referred to in their infinitive noun form which ends in na.

Examples:bolnato speak

likhnato write

lenato take

anato come

The stem of a verb is the infinitive form minus the na ending.

Examples:bol

likh

le

a

main hunI am

tu haiyou are (intimate)

yah haithis, he, she, it is

vah haithat, he, she, it is

ham hainwe are

tum hoyou are (familiar)

ap hainyou are (respect)

ye hainthese, they are

ve hainthose, they are

Present Imperfect

The present imperfect is used for habitual actions. It is formed by adding ta, te, or ti to the stem of the verb followed by the present tense of hona.

Below are shown the forms in the masculine. The feminine forms can be constructed by replacing bolta and bolte with bolti.

main bolta hunI speak

tu bolta haiyou speak (intimate)

yah bolta haithis, he, it speaks

vah bolta haithat, he, it speaks

ham bolte hainwe speak

Present ContinuousThe present continuous is used for ongoing actions -- like the "-ing" form in English. It is formed like this: stem + raha/rahe/rahi + present tense of hona

Below are shown the forms in the masculine. The feminine forms can be constructed by replacing raha and rahe with rahi.

main bol raha hunI am speaking

tu bol raha haiyou are speaking (intimate)

yah bol raha haithis, he, it is speaking

vah bol raha haithat, he, it is speaking

ham bol rahe hainwe are speaking

Past Imperfect

The past imprefect is used for habitual actions in the past. It is formed like the present imperfect but with the past tense of hona instead of the present tense.

Below are shown the forms in the masculine. The feminine forms can be constructed by replacing bolta and bolte with bolti, replacing tha with thi, and the with thin.

main bolta thaI used to speak

tu bolta thayou used to speak (intimate)

yah bolta thathis, he, it used to speak

vah bolta thathat, he, it used to speak

Past Continuous

Below are shown the forms in the masculine. The feminine forms can be constructed by replacing raha and rahe with rahi, replacing tha with thi, and the with thin.

main bol raha thaI was speaking

tu bol raha thayou were speaking (intimate)

Future Tense

Below are shown the forms in the masculine. The feminine forms can be constructed by replacing the ending a or e with i.

main bolungaI will speak

tu bolegayou will speak (intimate)

yah bolegathis, he, it will speak

vah bolegathat, he, it will speak

ham bolengewe will speak

tum bologeyou will speak (familiar)

ap bolengeyou will speak (respect)

ye bolengethese, they will speak

ve bolengethose, they will speak

Future Continuous

The future continuous is used to refer to ongoing actions in the future. It is formed as the present imperfect but with the future of raha instead of hona.

Below are shown the forms in the masculine. The feminine forms can be constructed by replacing the ending a or e with i in both verbs.

main bolta rahungaI will be speaking

tu bolta rahegayou will be speaking (intimate)

yah bolta rahegathis, he, it will be speaking

vah bolta rahegathat, he, it will be speaking

ap bolte rahengeyou will be speaking (respect)

ye bolte rahengethese, they will be speaking

Imperative

There are three different imperatives in Hindi: tu, tum, and ap imperative. The tu imperative is the stem itself The tum imperative is the stem + o The ap imperative is the stem + ie or iye

Examples:pani labring water (intimate)

pani laobring water (familiar)

pani laiebring water (respect)

The imperatives are made negative by adding mat, na, or nahin. Use mat with the tu imperative. Use mat or na with the tum imperative. Use na or nahin with the ap imperative.

Examples: vahan mat jadon't go there (intimate)

vahan na jaodon't go there (familiar)

vahan nahin jaiedon't go there (respect)

To Have

There is no Hindi verb for "to have". Possession is expressed in other ways.

Movable Objects

Possession of movable objects is expressed using ke pas after the (English) subject.

Examples: Ram ke pas gari haiRam has a car ("near Ram a car it is")

mera pas kitab haiI have a book ("near me a book it is")

Immovable Objects

Possession of immovable objects and of relatives is expressed using the possessive particles ka, ki, ke.

Examples:uska makan haihe has a house ("of him a house it is")

Ram ke do bete hainRam has two sons ("of Ram two sons there are")

Nouns

Gender

There are two genders in Hindi: masculine and feminine.

Rule of thumb: nouns ending on a are masculine and nouns ending on i are feminine. There are exceptions.

Number

There are two numbers in Hindi: singular and plural.

Case

Indirect case: Used when the noun is followed by a postposition.

Direct case: Otherwise

Singularlarkilarki

Plurallarkiyanlarkiyon

Other feminine nouns

Singularkitabkitab

Pluralkitabenkitabon

Postpositions

Postpositions in Hindi are like prepositions in English but they are placed after the noun.

The noun in front of the postposition is always in the indirect case.

The use of postpositions makes it possible to express the "missing" cases in Hindi.

nominativelarkithe girl(direct case)

genitive

s, mlarki ka kamthe work of the girl

s, flarki ki batthe word of the girl

pl, mlarki ke kamthe works of the girl

pl, flarki ki batenthe words of the girl

ablativelarki sefrom / with / of the girl

agentivelarki nethe girl

locative

larki menin the girl

larki paron / upon / after the girl

larki takas far as / as long as / up to the girl

Adjectives

An adjective ending with -a changes form according to the gender and number of the noun it qualifies.

chota = small

SingularMasculineFeminine

chota kamrachoti narangi

chota gharchoti mez

PluralMasculineFeminine

chote kamrechoti narangiyan

chote gharchoti mezen

Other adjectives do not change form.

saf = clean

MasculineFeminine

Singularsaf kamrasaf mez

Pluralsaf kamresaf mezen

The comparative and superlative forms are made by adding the words usase (or se) and sabse in front of the positive form.

Positivesundar

Comparativeusase sundar / se sundar

Superlativesabse sundar

When an adjective is repeated twice it emphasises different kinds of the noun or the intensity or selectivity.
