#those were some random words and phrases that came into my mind at the moment...I
really hope you can read them all and translate them all, it wont take long...I know about 70-
80% of all that, but I wanna make sure and check them from a person who can really speak
hindi, because some of the translators on the internet give different types of words and
different options for different words in english and I wish you could tell me all the synonims
where there is the case, please >:D<.
Now, I want to ask you if there is a different way of reading the letters in a year and from a
simple number (like, you know, the difference in German, you read the year 1991 differently
than the number 1991 itself).
And as far as the verbs are concerned, how do you conjugate them? And the genre of the
nouns, masculine and feminine, how do you differentiate them(with i and a at the end of the
word, right)?
I=mein
You=tum
She=ladki
He=ladka
They(boys)=ladke
They(girls)=ladkian
We=hum log
You(plural)=tum log
Me=mein
You=tum
Them=woh
My=mera
Mine=meri
Your=tumhara

in front of=samne
behind=piche
forward=aage

old=purana

Nice!(as an affirmation)=Accha hai!

As I was saying, how do you conjugate the verbs between the persons and the time sentences?
I am=

You(plural) are=
I go/want/have=
You gowant/have=
He go/wants/has=
She is/wants/has=
They(girls) go/want/have=
They(boys) go/want/have=
We go/want/have=
You(plural) go/want/have=
--> so, is there a rule for cnjugating them, as it is in English, German and many other
languages? Please, explain me this rule and other rules common in Hindi grammar, and also
tell me more about exceptions (as there are exceptions concerning the "If clauses" in English
-- tell me those too, how it goes witht the "If clauses" in Hindi). More than that, is it the same
with the verbs - are there regular and irregular verbs as in English and German? And how is
with the Present, Present Perfect, Past, Past Perfect, and Future Tenses? What are the forms
of the verbs in each of those cases? Are there general rules that apply to all the verbs in those
cases?
go - went - gone=
I am / I was / I have been / I had been / I am being / I would have been / I should have been
=
If I have indeed upset you with all this, please forgive me and please tell me if it is too much.
I will stop, but I do not want our friendship to be just over only because of this. I cherish you
a lot ! And hopefully, after these translations and a few more (not as long as these) we will
be able to talk just in Hindi.
Thank you again sooo much ! I am waiting for your response cause Im allready worried of what
you may say ! Take care and all the best ! Take all the time you need to answer me back,
hope you dont mind at all ! Warm and tight Kisses and Hugs ! >:D<
