more simple sentences "^^" - those little words help me too, shukriya ^^ here something that iīd like to be translated and a word list given:

THIS door is closed.
THESE flowers are beautiful.

THAT is a new car.
THOSE birds are small.
dashazFriday 13th of January 2006 05:00:37 AM
tranzzzz - dena = to give..ur rite..however.."de do" is when u are talking in a conversation and the suject is you..and u are saying "give me the..etc." "dena" is used when u say something like.."i want to give u..."

This door is closed = YEH daarwaza baand hain.
These flowers are beautiful = YEH phool khoobsurat hain.
That is a new car. = VO ek nayi gaari hain.
Those birds are small. = VO chiriya chottey hain.

starflowerFriday 13th of January 2006 11:01:44 AM
- bauth shukriya ^^

is it so that nouns donīt have separate plural form? so the same word is used for flower and flowers, cat and cats, etc. ?

also for this/these and that/those? (yeh and vo)?

what about adjectives?
no plural but gender forms yes?

if so, how is masculine and feminine forms for example for adjectives happy, sad, angry, short and gentle?

a happy man, a happy woman, etc.

i hope im not bothering but i need to learn carefully "^^"
dashazSunday 15th of January 2006 06:10:22 AM
- some nouns have plural form..some dont..it depends on the noun.

ex. like for bird/birds - there is only one form which is both singular and plural "chiriya" same for flower/flowers = phool

BUT for cat/cats there is a singular and a plural form
cat = "billi"
cats = "billiya"

these/this = yeh (singular and plural)
that/those = vo (singular and plural)

like nouns..adjectives' gender depends on wat word u are using. it can sometimes be bi..take happy for example:

happy= "khush" (vo ladki khush hain: vo ladka khush hain)
(that girl is happy: that boy is happy)
as u notice..the word "khush" can be used for girls and for guys widout altering the word in any way.

the same goes for the word sad, angry, and gentle

sad = "udhaas" (vo ladki udhaas hain: vo ladka udhaas hain)
(that girl is sad: that boy is sad)

angry = "naraz" (vo ladki naraz hain: vo ladka naraz hain)
(that girl is angry: that boy is angry)

gentle= "muhazzib" (vo ladki muhazzib hain: vo ladka
muhazzib hain) (that girl is gentle:
that boy is gentle)

however...words like short and tall are adjectives that changing (slightly) according to the noun

short= "chota/choti" (vo ladki choti hain: vo ladka chota
hain) (that girl is short: that boy
short)

tall = "lamba/lambi" (vo ladki lambi hain: vo ladka lamba
hain)

distinguishing if the adjective changes or not mite be difficult..i hope this helped u a little ?
