In English, conditionals are “If…then” statements.<\/p>\n
Let’s take a look at\u00a0a sentence with an\u00a0“If…them” statement in Hindi:<\/p>\n
If it rains, then the crops will be good : \u0905\u0917\u0930\/\u092f\u0926\u093f\u00a0\u092c\u093e\u0930\u093f\u0936\u00a0\u0939\u094b\u0917\u0940\u00a0\u092b\u093f\u0930\u00a0\u0905\u091a\u094d\u091b\u0940\u00a0\u092b\u0938\u0932\u00a0\u0939\u094b\u0917\u0940<\/strong><\/p>\n In the sentence above, \u0905\u0917\u0930<\/strong>\/\u092f\u0926\u093f<\/strong> are the “if” clauses. You can use either \u0905\u0917\u0930<\/strong> or \u092f\u0926\u093f<\/strong> to denote “if”.<\/p>\n \u092b\u093f\u0930<\/strong> is the “then” clause<\/p>\n \u092c\u093e\u0930\u093f\u0936<\/strong> = rain. \u0939\u094b\u0917\u0940<\/strong> = fall. \u0905\u091a\u094d\u091b\u0940<\/strong> = good. \u092b\u0938\u0932<\/strong> = crop. \u0939\u094b\u0917\u0940<\/strong> = will be.<\/p>\n Therefore\u00a0the word order for this sentence in Hindi will be : “If rain fall then good crop will be”.<\/p>\n The order of the clauses doesn’t matter much in Hindi. Technically you can switch the order of the clauses, and place the “if” clause towards the end of the sentence to say:<\/p>\n The crop will be good if it rains : \u092b\u093f\u0930 \u0905\u091a\u094d\u091b\u0940 \u092b\u0938\u0932\u00a0\u0939\u094b\u0917\u0940 \u0905\u0917\u0930 \u092c\u093e\u0930\u093f\u0936 \u0939\u094b\u0917\u0940<\/strong><\/p>\n So in Hindi the word order will be: “Then good crop will if rain falls”<\/p>\n Also, \u092b\u093f\u0930<\/strong> isn’t always necessary as a “then” clause. You can also use \u0924\u094b<\/strong>\u00a0to denote the “then” clause.<\/p>\n Here is an example :<\/p>\n If you will not come, I will go : \u092f\u0926\u0940\u00a0\u0906\u092a\u00a0\u0928\u0939\u0940\u0902\u00a0\u0906\u090f\u0901\u0917\u0947, \u0924\u094b \u092e\u0948\u0902\u00a0\u091c\u093e\u090a\u0901\u0917\u093e<\/strong><\/p>\n \u092f\u0926\u0940\u00a0<\/strong>= “if” clause. \u0906\u092a<\/strong>\u00a0= you (polite). \u0928\u0939\u0940\u0902<\/strong>\u00a0= not. \u0906\u090f\u0901\u0917\u0947<\/strong> = will come, \u0924\u094b<\/strong> = then. \u092e\u0948\u0902<\/strong>\u00a0= I. \u091c\u093e\u090a\u0901\u0917\u093e<\/strong> = will go.<\/p>\n So the word order in this sentence is, “If you not will come then I will go”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In English, conditionals are “If…then” statements.
