Lesson 17

 Today we learned how to say present continuous sentences starting with "You."  How you say the sentence will depend on whether YOU is male or female.


You (male) are coming = Tum aa rahe ho

You (female) are coming = Tum aa rahii ho


Sentences that start with "tum" end in "ho". Sentences that start with tum will not have "rahaa" in them - instead it will be either "rahe" or "rahii"


We learned the following new verbs today:


Give = "de" दे

Take = "le" ले

Sleep = "so" सो

Jump = "kood" कूद

Lesson 16

 Today we learned how to say and write sentences in the following format:


I am ____ing.

He/She is ____ing.

(noun) is ____ing.


We learned the word for "come":  (aa)

We learned the word for "go": जा (jaa)


I am coming = Main aa rahaa hoon  (boy)  मैं आ रहा हूँ

                        Main aa rahii hoon (girl)  मैं रही हूँ

I am going = Main jaa rahaa hoon (boy)  मैं जा रहा हूँ

                      Main jaa rahii hoon (girl)  मैं जा रही हूँ

The king is going = Raajaa jaa rahaa hai राजा जा रहा है

The king is coming = Raajaa aa rahaa hai

The queen is going = Raanii jaa rahii hai रानी जा रही है

The queen is coming = Raanii aa rahii hai

She is going = Voh jaa rahii hai

Lesson 15

 The children were introduced to the final maatra: औ

Note the difference in the sound between ओ and औ


ओ makes an "o" sound like you would hear in the words: boat, rope, jello

The औ sound is closer to (but not exactly) what you would hear in words like: hot, call, saw

Here are the new words from this week:

खिलौना (toy) (khilaunaa)
मौसम (weather) (mausam)
औरत (lady) (aurat)
और (and) (aur)
कौन (who) (kaun)
