Last week \u092a\u093f\u091b\u0932\u0947 \u0939\u092b\u094d\u0924\u0947 (pichhlay haftay)<\/i>, we looked at construction of the simple present tense \u0938\u093e\u092e\u093e\u0928\u094d\u092f \u0935\u0930\u094d\u0924\u094d\u0924\u092e\u093e\u0928 \u0915\u093e\u0932\u00a0(saamaanya vartamaan kaal)\u00a0<\/em>for regular verbs \u0915\u094d\u0930\u093f\u092f\u093e (kriya)<\/em>.<\/p>\n

However, instead of moving to the simple past tense, I thought it would be useful to learn the present continuous\/progressive \u0924\u093e\u0924\u094d\u0915\u093e\u0932\u093f\u0915 \u0935\u0930\u094d\u0924\u094d\u0924\u092e\u093e\u0928 \u0915\u093e\u0932\u00a0\u00a0(taatkalik vartamaan)<\/em>\u00a0tense. As its name denotes, the\u00a0\u0924\u093e\u0924\u094d\u0915\u093e\u0932\u093f\u0915 \u0935\u0930\u094d\u0924\u094d\u0924\u092e\u093e\u0928 \u0915\u093e\u0932 indicates that an action is still in progress.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
Let us look at some examples \u0909\u0926\u093e\u0939\u0930\u0923 (udaharan)<\/em>:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u0909\u0926\u093e\u0939\u0930\u0923 \u0967 :<\/strong> If there is a sudden downpour just as you are stepping out for a quick errand, you rarely say:<\/div>\n
“It rains!” \u00a0\u092c\u093e\u0930\u093f\u0936 \u0939\u094b\u0924\u0940<\/span> \u0939\u0948\u0964 (Baarish hoti hai.)<\/em>
\nA more appropriate response would be, “It is raining!”\u00a0\u092c\u093e\u0930\u093f\u0936 \u0939\u094b \u0930\u0939\u0940<\/span> \u0939\u0948\u0964 \u00a0(Baarish ho rahi hai.)<\/em><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u0909\u0926\u093e\u0939\u0930\u0923 \u0968:<\/strong><\/div>\n
Let’s say a husband calls out to his wife for some help.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\u00a0If she says, “Main aati hoon.<\/em>“\/ “\u092e\u0948\u0902 \u0906\u0924\u0940<\/span> \u0939\u0942\u0901\u0964 ”\u00a0it means more like “I’ll be right there.”<\/div>\n
This indicates that she intends to go and help him, but she still hasn’t set out to do so.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
However, if she says, “Main aa rahi hoon.”<\/em>\/ “\u092e\u0948\u0902 \u0906 \u0930\u0939\u0940<\/span> \u0939\u0942\u0901\u0964”<\/div>\n
it means, “I’m coming.” or “I’m on my way.”<\/div>\n
This indicates that she is on her way to help him.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u0909\u0926\u093e\u0939\u0930\u0923 \u0969:<\/strong><\/div>\n
Let’s look at another situation:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Friend 1:<\/strong> (speaking from inside the kitchen to a friend who is sitting in the living room):<\/div>\n
\u0938\u092e\u094b\u0938\u093e \u0916\u093e\u0913\u0964<\/div>\n
(Samosa khaao.)<\/em><\/div>\n
Eat some samosas.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Friend 2:<\/strong>\u00a0\u0939\u093e\u0901 \u0916\u093e \u0930\u0939\u0940<\/span> \u0939\u0942\u0901\u0964<\/div>\n
(Haan, kha rahi hoon.)<\/em><\/div>\n
Yes, I am eating.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
However, if Friend 2<\/strong> responds by saying:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u0939\u093e\u0901, \u0916\u093e\u0924\u0940<\/span> \u0939\u0942\u0901\u0964<\/div>\n
(Haan, khaati hoon.)<\/em><\/div>\n
This literally means “Yes, I eat,” but in this case implies that she intends to eat the samosas shortly.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The simple present tense is also used to show something that is habitual or routine.<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

(Main roz jaldi uthti hoon.)<\/em><\/div>\n
I wake up early every day.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
2.\u092e\u0948\u0902 \u0936\u093e\u092e \u0915\u094b \u091a\u093e\u092f \u092a\u0940\u0924\u093e<\/span> \u0939\u0942\u0901\u0964<\/div>\n
(Main shaam ko chai peeta hoon.)<\/em><\/div>\n
I drink tea in the evenings.<\/div>\n

(Hum sardiyon mein nanaji ke ghar rehte hain.<\/em><\/div>\n
During winters we stay at our grandfather’s house.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
4.\u00a0\u092e\u093e\u0901 \u0939\u0930 \u0936\u0941\u0915\u094d\u0930\u0935\u093e\u0930 \u0915\u094b \u0935\u094d\u0930\u0924 \u0930\u0916\u0924\u0940<\/span> \u0939\u0948\u0964<\/div>\n
(Maa har shukravaar ko vrut rakhti hai.)<\/em><\/div>\n
Every Friday, Mother keeps\/observes a fast.<\/div>\n
