Background Review:
For feminine subjects: We add -ti hu to conjugate the verb
mai movie dekh-ti hu = I see a movie
mai roTi kha-ti hu = I eat a roti
You Try...
She hears a song (sun) =
She speaks Hindi (bol) =
He
For the masculine subject, we simply change the ti to ta
vo Hindi bol-ta hai = He speaks Hindi
vo dosa bana-ta hai = He makes a dosa
Note vo = both she and he
You Try...
He plays soccer (khel) =
He reads a book (padh) =
They
For plurals, we change the vo -> ve
For feminine:
ve Hindi bol-ti hai = they speak Hindi
ve ghar dikha-ti hai = they show the house
For masculine:
We use –te hai
ve Hindi bol-te hai = they speak Hindi
ve ghar dikha-te hai = they show the house
Mixed group:
It is the same as the masculine plural: we use -te hai
ve ghar ja-te hai
Radha aur Amit lunch kha-te hai
You Try...
They watch a movie (all women) =
They give a gift (all men) =
They ask a questions (mixed group) =
We and You
We and You are conjugated the same way as They
ham = we
ve Hindi bol-ti hai -> ham Hindi bol-ti hai
aap = you
ve film dekh-te hai -> aap film dekh-te hai
You Try...
We (women) make sandwich (bana) =
You (mixed group) know the address (jaan) =
You: Singular Masculine
There is only one exception to this system:
You singular for masculine also ends in -te hai
(not -ta hai)
You watch a movie
= aap movie dekh-te hai (wrong)
= aap movie dekh-te hai (correct)
aap chaval kha-te hai = You eat rice
You Try...
You (1 boy) read a book =
You (1 man) speak Hindi =
