You’ll recall that we talked about Compound Verbs in Hindi<\/a> last week. As a refresher, a compound verb is merely a (usually) two-word verb that includes a verb stem and an auxiliary verb. In a compound such as this, the auxiliary verb loses its primary meaning and, instead, adds a different shade of meaning to the compound. We have the same concept in English when we say compound verbs like “flopped down” or “believe in”\u2013\u2013two-word verb combinations that, in English at least, usually involve a verb + phrase or a verb + preposition to convey a slightly different meaning than if the verb were on its own. Last week, we talked about the verb \u0926\u0947\u0928\u093e\/denaa (to give)<\/strong> as used in a compound; as an auxiliary verb in a compound, \u0926\u0947\u0928\u093e loses its primary meaning of “to give” and adds a different shade of meaning to the verb, indicating a sense of a benefit or movement of an action flowing AWAY from the doer. Today we’ll be talking another addition to the compound verb party: \u0932\u0947\u0928\u093e\/lenaa (to take)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u0932\u0947\u0928\u093e\/lenaa or \u201cto take,\u201d<\/strong> predictably enough, involves the movement or benefit of the verb flowing TOWARD the doer<\/strong>. This makes sense because, even in its normal sense as \u201cto take,\u201d \u0932\u0947\u0928\u093e\/lenaa suggest the subtle sense that the action or benefit of a verb is flowing toward the doer as the doer is \u201ctaking\u201d something for him or herself, as opposed to giving something away, as \u0926\u0947\u0928\u093e\/denaa suggests. Here are some common ways to use \u0932\u0947\u0928\u093e\/lenaa in a compound verb:<\/p>\n
