Learn Hindi (part 10, Verbs & Postpositions)

This is the tenth part of my video series on learning Hindi. We come to more verbs, simple present and present continuous and imperative, as well as postpositions (prepositions which come after the noun). Pronunciation and gender (masc or fem) is stressed and is in IPA. Next one will be an easy and popular Bollywood sing, so don't forget to choose which one. My use of images from Internet is intended to be consistent with US Fair Use laws.

Damn dude i just wanna say you are awesome! Can you please help me with a word. Kabhi ? What means that? or the whole sentense kabhi alvida na kehna?

[ranjan2]

kabhi = sometimes ; kabhi na = never ; kabhi alvida na kehna = never say goodbye.

[BollyStyle91]

what is kehna ?

[ranjan2]

Kehna means "to say".

I am going to use this song for my next video: Kal ho Na ho (title song, happy version), starring Shahrukh Khan, Saif & Preity. But for that I need to download the video. Please tell me where I can download it.

[ranjan2]

Hurry up! Choose your favorite Bollywood song and tell me here itself, so that the next video would be learning Hindi through a Bollywood song.

Thank you for your explanation

[commodoreherring]

@nosorog91 : it's actually an 'upside down' e, or "schwa", which is a symbol used in phonetcs (in the IPA or International Phonetic Alphabet). It indicates this is the hindi "short a" sound, like in the english words machine or ago... you will sometimes see these words transcribed as banaanaa and karnaa, i.e.banaanaa has two long 'a's (written in devanagari script as a single downstroke), and one short "uh" sound. hope this clarifies things!

thanks for the videos guruji, meharbani hai!

[GirishJ]

Bahut Shukriya...

Thank you

thank you for making these videos. you will receive good karma for making these videos.

[nosorog91]

Good job, keep it on.

I still don't understand why 'a' turns 'e' in 'bAnana' and 'kArna' . It is not what i know from my hindi teaching book

[harirasadas]
