Week 19

We started off with a review.

1) First we reviewed how to write two important words:

Me/I = मैं 

Is = है 

We then practiced writing the sentence:  

मेरा नाम ____ है। 

2) We then reviewed how to say sentences in the following structure:

I am __(adjective)__ .

You are __(adjective)___.

The (noun) is ___(adjective)___. 

Examples:

Main laal hoon (I am red)

Tum laal ho (You are red)

GaaRii laal hai (The car is red)

We then moved on to the following new concept. We learned how to say sentences in the following format:

I am __(verb)ing__ .

In Hindi, the order of the words becomes: I __(verb)ing__ am.

"I am sleeping" would be rearranged to "I sleeping am"

We learned two new verbs today: Come (aa) and Go (jaa)
You then add the word "rahaa (male) or rahii (female)" to give the "ing" form of the verb.
Coming = Aa rahaa/rahii
Going = Jaa rahaa/rahii
We already know that "I" is "main" and "am" is "hoon"

Therefore: 

I AM COMING = Main aa rahaa/rahii hoon.
I AM GOING = Main jaa rahaa/rahii hoon.

We will spend much of the remaining semester learning different verbs and how to use them in the present continuous tense.
