dekho, suno, khaao...




Click on the image to see it bigger and better. Most verbs in any Indian language can be expressed in their English equivalents and a 'karo' or 'kariye' or kar raha hoon' can be appended. Example: drive maaDi. Browse maaDi. Drive maaDtaa idini, Browse maaDtaa idini..


But you can't stretch this example too far. There are a lot of verbs that you still need to use in their native form - otherwise you sound funny. If you hear someone say "see kar raha hoon?" wouldnt you want to whack him on the.. wherever?
