Week 2

  We spent the first half of the class playing games that helped us review the nouns we learned last week.
  We then added a few more adjectives to our oral repertoire:
Pink (gulaabii)
White (safed)
Hot (garam)
Cold (ThanDaa)
Good (achhaa)
Bad (buraa / kharaab)
Clean (saaf)
Dirty (gandaa)

We then practiced saying sentences such as:

The house is dirty
(ghar gandaa hai)

The fruit is cold
(phal ThanDaa hai)

** Next we learned how to say sentences in the following format: 
The (noun) is not (adjective).
For example: The house is not big.
In Hindi, the words get rearranged in the following fashion:
House big not is.
Remember, "the" gets dropped, and "is" always goes at the end. "Not" goes right before "is." The word for "not" is the same word as the word in Hindi for "no": "nahii"

Example:
The house is big = ghar baRaa hai
The house is not big = ghar baRaa nahii hai

For homework this week, please do the following:

1) Practice writing the following Hindi words twice. Know their definitions (see Week 1 blog):

कल  
फल 
घर 
बस 
दस

2) Say the following sentences in Hindi (answers are in the video embedded below)

 - The house is big
 - The house is not small
 - The fruit is good
 - The fruit is not dirty
 - The bus is clean
 - The bus is not bad

Next week, we will start learning words with our first maatraa.
