June 2, 2010 - + vowels


Remember the vowels:

Last week we looked at how these vowels mix with the first consonant . Today, we look at the same
pattern but with the second letter . These two consonants sound very, very similar. But they make
different sounds for a Hindi speaker. In order to get the sound right, we need to over emphasize the
difference. The first one has very little air. Try to say it with no air. The second one is harder with a
lot of air, .
After you go through todays lesson with and each of the vowels, go to the other lesson on and the
vowels to practice hearing the difference.
+ = (f) roof
+ = (m) umbrella
+ = to hide, conceal (related word: to be hidden)
+ = to skin, to peel
+ = (f) knife
+ = to touch, to feel
+ = + = (m) hole
+ = - silly
+ = small
+ = to season
+ = (m) poetic meter

the lord Buddha(a Religion) attained knowledge( gyan ) under a tree. At Bodhgaya, a huge
congregation of Buddhist monks take place time to time. The Great Emperor Ashoka spread Budhhism
all over the world especially in Asia( India, Srilanka,China,Singapore etc.). He fought a great Kalinga
war where millions of people were killed. He could not see bloodshed any more. Thus, he took the path
of Ahimsa -(non-violence) later.
Another example for Ahimsa is : Mahatma Gandhi(Father of Nation ) who fought his battle of
independence(freedom struggle) for India(also spread in Africa) through AHIMSA(Non-violence).
Some other drinks(Peya in Hindi ) are:
: sharbat(juice or squash ). Aam ka sharbat swadisht () hota hai. The mango juice is
tasty.
-Lassi(made up of curd)- Punjab ki lassi vishwa vikhyat hai. Punjbs lassi is world famous
=Chaach(butter milk)- Chhachh Piyo. Drink butter milk . Butter means:
Doodh(Milk)- Gay(cow) ka doodh sehat ke liye accha hota hai.The cow milk is good for health.
Gaay ka doodh oobalkar piyen taki saare kitanu mar jayen (Drink the cow milk after boiling so
that all the germs/bacteria get killed ).
Gaay is also called Gayya or gau in rustic form.(village level) in India. The cow has got the
respect of mother in India. I have personally seen that in Nasik (Mahrashtra province of
India)Pinjrapoke, the barren cows, abandoned ones are reared very well there and treated. The
free milk distribution system is in vogue there or milk is sold at nominal rates. Believe me that
the cows are given names like Saraswati,(Name of the Indian Goddess) Lakshmi, Kalyani etc. .
They respond well when you call asking Saraswai etc. They are graceful. They are awarded
prizes for their beauty, performance etc after a competition is organized every year.
-Doodh sek makhan banta hai( Butter is made up of milk).
-Makhan se ghee taiyar kee jaati hai.(Clarified butter is prepared out of butter).
- Bacchon ke mansik evam sharireek vikas ke liye Daal aur ghee dee jaati hai .( The lentils(pulses)
and ghee are given for the mental and physical growth of the children.
Bhains(Buffalo- male/masculine.). Bhains kaala hota hai. ( In hota , ta).
The buffalo is black.
Bhainsee(Buffalo- i.e she/feminine). Bhainsee kaali hoti hain. ( in Hoti ti)
(Kala )means black which is a colour(Rung in Hindi). (black) is a feminine colour .
( bhaise kaley hote hain.- Plural). Ta, converts into Te. Buffaloes are black.
Like, vah jaata hai.=- He goes. (singular) . Ve jaatey hain.= They go . (plural) Hai changes to
Hain. As stated earlier one . (dot) is added in Hai ( )to make Hain.( )
Saand(Bull). Yah saand tagda hai( This bull is strong).
Spain sannd ki ladai ke liye prakhyat hai.(Spain is famous for bull fight).

The Greedy Dog
Once, a dog was terribly hungry. Just then, he got bread. He wanted to enjoy the bread, so he wanted to
sit peacefully eating bread and holding it in his mouth went towards the river. There was a small bridge

another dog and wished to snatch his bread too.

also .when do u use rahi instead of raha??
dhanyawad

(9/6/2009) and Past Tense without ne (9/7/2009).
You say I kept the book on the table. by saying

to say I am working. This changes to . However, these sentences only work if
they are said by a man.
If a woman was to say, I work. she would say . And if she were to say, I am
working. she would say . See the episode Present Continuous Tense (8/25/2009).
