In Hindi, some of the verbs are derived from other verbs. The root of base verb changes to form a new root. This derived verb is called व्युत्पन्न धातु (Vyautpann Dhaatu – Derivative Root) in Hindi.

Let’s take some examples and see how this is done. And remember that the verbs in Hindi have ‘ना’ ending, the part before the ending are main or base root of the verb. It’ll be clear from the examples below:

1. उठना (Utna – to raise or lift) 

उठ – > उठा results in formation of verb उठाना (Utaana – to lift to something or someone)

उठ – > उठवा results in formation of verb उठवाना (Utavaana – to make someone lift something or someone by someone (third person))

2. पीना (Peena – to drink)

3. सोना (Sona – to sleep)

सो – > सुलवा results in formation of verb सुलवाना (Sulvaana – to make someone (second person) make someone (third person) sleep)

4. देना (Dena – to give)

दे – > दिला results in formation of verb दिलाना (Dilaana – To make someone (second person) give something)

5. खाना (Khana – to eat)
