| - Thanks, I will use that tense then. I read on the tenses thread about the difference of us ka and apna. In the sentences of this story the parents are the boy his own parents. Does that mean I should use apna here instead of the uss ka I have used? | |

| - Thanks for correcting these phrases. Would you like to answer the following questions? - Do you use \"kab\" for questions referring to when something happened, while using \"jab\" for conditional sentences? - What is the difference between \"xufya\" and \"chupke\"? - What does \"wapas\" mean? I could only find translation \"return\". | |
| Zahid | Saturday 03rd of February 2007 04:56:03 PM |
| Salam - well \"kab\" will use the time when you asks question and \"jab will be use at the time when no question,usauly answer example when will you go?-Aap kab jaogi(f) when will you come back/return-Aap kab wapas aogi(f)? .when i finsh my work-jab main apna kam khatam karonga(m)/karongi(f). he saw me when i reach there-usne mujhe dekha(m)/dekhi(f),jab main wahan phoncha(m)/phonchi(f). \"xufya\"hmmmm i cant read it dear \"chupke\"...secretly and hidely too hide=chupna, and secret=raaz \"wapas\" means to return and also to back. tanks for asking | |
