Week 2

PART 1: ORAL

For our oral lesson today we learned two new adjectives:

saaf (clean) (we also learned how to read and write this word)

gandaa (dirty)

Last week we had learned how to say sentences such as "The bus is red"

Today we learned how to say sentences such as "The bus is not red"

In Hindi, the words would be re-arranged as follows:

The bus is not red --> bus red not is  (bus laaal nahiin hai)

We also learned how to say words in the format "I am ___". The word for "am" is "hoon"

I am red ---> I red am  (main laal hoon)

For an adjective that ends in "aa" such as "gandaa", a girl would say "main gandii hoon" whereas a boy would say "main gandaa hoon"

PART 2: WRITTEN

 This week we learned our first maatraa: आ   When a word starts with आ then you simply write the whole letter. So, आ  + ग  = आग

    However, if the sound is in the middle or at the end of the word then you write it as a "maatraa". The आ  maatraa is simply a vertical line.

So,  ल   + आ +  ल    =  लाल 

Today we learned the following words:

Fire = aag आग Hand = haath हाथ Nose = naak नाक Ear = kaan कान Four = chaar चार

Clean = saaf साफ़

Red = laal लाल 

Black = kaalaa काला 

Today = aaj आज
