Hindi learning team? - Hi there, Does anyone here want to create a hindi learning team? I was thinking we could meet in instant messaging and each have a topic we will teach each other on. For example, one person teach on nouns, another person teach on verbs, and another on sentence structure.
I am very motivated to learn hindi. My boyfriend and two of my best friends speak hindi. It's time I learn.

- It sounds interesting, but often these things are interrelated. Have you done this before with another language?

- "Hindi is a modern Indo-Aryan language spoken in South Asian countries (India, Pakistan, Nepal) and also in other countries outside Asia (Mauritius, Trinidad, Fiji, Surinam, Guyana, South Africa and other countries). Approximately six hundred million people speak Hindi, as either a first or second language. It is ranked among the five most widely spoken languages of the world. Along with English, it is the official language of India. In addition, it is the state language of Bihar, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, and Rajasthan.

Hindi, which is a descendant of the, Sanskrit language, is not strictly the name of any chief dialect of the area but is an adjective, Persian in origin, meaning Indian. Historically, it was synonymous with Hindui, Hindawi, Rexta, and Rexti. The terms Urdu and Hindustani are also employed to refer to this language. However, these labels denote a mixed speech spoken around the area of Delhi, North India, which gained currency during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries as a contact language between the Arabs, Afghans, Persian and Turks, and native residents.

Hindi is written in the Devanagari script which is ranked as the most scientific writing system among the existing writing systems of the world. The Devanagari script is written from left to right and is a descendant of the Brahmi script which was well established in India before 500 B.C. The script is phonetic in nature and there is a fairly regular correspondence between the letters and their pronunciation."

Have two reference books now but still no dictionary. Ugh!

I would like to post the devengari script and hindi alphabet but haven't figured out how to do that with
my computer.
So.... I'll just keep posting some grammar I have learned from the books I'm using.

In Hindi the syntax is different from that of English.
The verb in Hindi is placed always in the end of the sentence, for example:
English = I go to school.
Hindi = mai skul jata hun. = I to school go.

The preposition in Hindi is actually post-
position. For example:
English = The book is on the table.
Hindi = kitab mez par hai. = Book table on is.
par (on) is placed after mez (table) not before.
English = Where do you live?
Hindi = ap kahan rahate hain? = you where live?

A simple question is often indicated by the tone and not by changing the placement of the verb as it is done in English.
For example:
English = What is your name?
Hindi = apka nam kya hai?
is clear as an interrogation as indicated by kya (what?)
But in a sentence such as Hindi = apka nam Ram hai?
English = Is your name, Ram? the question is indicated only by the tone.

Sometimes the meaning is changed if the syntax is changed. For example:
English = What will you eat?
Hindi = ap kya khaenge?
English = Will you eat?
Hindi = kya ap khaenge?

Gender
There are only two genders in Hindi
masculine = puling
feminine = striling
Gender is either based on sex (in the case of human beings and animals) or usage.
There are no hard rules.
All words ending with the vowel a are masculine
and those ending in the vowel i are feminine.
Words ending in a consonant may be M. or F.
But there are many exceptions to these rules and we will learn them together. :)
"Gender is the weakest point of Hindi grammar."
Quoted from TEACH YOURSELF HINDI by MOHINI RAO

Masculine nouns ending with the vowel sound a
kamara = room
larka = boy
beta = son

Exceptional nouns ending with the vowel sound i
adami = man
pani = water
pati = husband

Will discuss singular and plural next visit!
Until then...
Aapna khayal rakha. Take care of urself! :)
Hamesha khush rahna. Always be happy!

alowyn Thursday 05th of January 2006 03:10:49 PM
- Thanks for that, Usagypsychic. It was very informative. just be careful, i believe it's आदमी "Aadmi", not 'Adami'

just to contiribute a tiny bit... and as i revise my work so far, expect more...

Personal pronouns and the copula (to be)

मैं हूँ mai.n hoo.n = I am
तू है too hai = you are*
यह है Yah hai = he/she/it/this is**
वह है vah hai = he/she/it/that is**

हम हैं Ham hai.n = we are/ I am ***
तुम हो Tum ho = you are* ***
आप हैं aap hai.n = you are* ***
ये हैं ye hai.n = these/they are/ he/she is* ** ***
वे हैं ve hai.n = those/they are/ he she is* ** ***

* As many of you are aware, Hindi has a system of honourific levels.
तू "Tu" is used to indicate intimacy - used when speaking to a child, or someone very close.
तूम "Tum" is informal and is used with anyone who would not expect formality - friends, servants, children etc.
आप "Aap" is formal and is used with equals expecting formality, and anyone above.
Of course, addressing someone with an honourific level lower than what they expect can be seen as offensive - so when in doubt, stick with aap!
Moreover, if you are talking about a person who you would address as 'Aap', use 've/ye', instead of the singular 'vah/yah'

** The main difference between 'vah/ve' and 'yah/ye' is like 'that' and 'this'. yah is used to address something nearby, vah is something more remote. Note that 'vah' and 'yah' may be pronounced 'voh' and 'yeh' by native speakers.

*** ham, tum, aap, ve and ye are all grammatically plural, even though they may all refer to a single person. To specify a group, use लोग 'log' - people.

तुम कैसे हो? Tum kaise ho? = how are you?
तुम लोग कैसे हो? Tum log kaise ho? = how are you people?

great job! - Excellent job! I think that this kind of lessons will be great for everyone, and will probably simplify us a lot, and we also can share our questions together... maybe. I want to thank both of you gypsychic and alowyn, for taking your time to make this easier for us all.
As for me... let me try and see how can I contribute to this lessons, though I m very very new in hindi, I ll do my best to get some info too.
But right now, I just wanted to thank you both.
BAHUT DHANYAVAAD!!

usagypsychic Friday 06th of January 2006 02:15:04 AM
- LOL, thank you for the kudos!
I am new to Hindi too and lost but hopefully, together, we will all learning something here.

ALOWYN, thanks for the corrections! I welcome all corrections so we may all learn the right way.
I have two Hindi language study books... the books
are entirely different approaches and information...
I am so confused!!!
But I'll work it out somehow.
Still no English to Hindi dictionary.
Bookstores are out or don't carry.
Will have to order online.
Also, thanks for the lesson. Looking forward to the next!
:)
Forgot: If you go to this post, this group is working on vocab but I am really more interested in grammar after getting stuck on my lessons there.
