Recently I was going through some comments on my website, then I was asked by Motika Chong what is the difference between –
Mujhe Cricket Khelne Ka Shauk Hai. मुझे क्रिकेट खेलने का शौक है |
Mujhe Crucket Khelna Bahut Pasand hai. मुझे क्रिकेट खेलना बहुत पसंद है |
Then I decided to run a series of confusion generally Hindi learners in beginning phase they face. You can ask me below any Hindi confusion based my Hindi lesson, I have prepared. You comment the confusion below the respective lesson with your confusion, I will reply you via a post/video, which will also helps 1000s of other fellow Hindi learners.
So, as this is the first episode, I am starting this with Motika’s question.
Let me clear something first by giving proper meaning of few Hindi words.
1. Pasand Karna – पसंद करना – To Like / To love
2. Shouk Karna – शौक़ करना To have fond of something
Let’s see some sentences
1. Mujhe Football Khelna Pasand Hai. ( I like to play football / I love to play football)
मुझे फुटबॉल खेलना पसंद है |
2. Mujhe Naachna Bahut Pasand Hai. ( I like to dance very much. / I love to dance very much.)
मुझे नाचना बहुत पसंद है |
3. Mujhe Ghhuumna Ati Pasand Hai. ( I like to dance too much. / I love to travel too much.)
मुझे घूमना अति पसंद है |
4. Mujhe TV Dekhna Bahut Jyaada Pasand Hai. ( I like/love to watch TV very very much.)
मुझे टीवी देखना बहुत ज्यादा पसंद है |
Tera Naam Pasand Hai, Teri dosti Pasand Hai, Tere Pyare Me Jo Guzre Vo Zindagee Pasand Hai.
तेरा नाम पसंद है , तेरी दोस्ती पसंद है, तेरे प्यार में जो गुज़रे वो ज़िंदगी पसंद है |
I love your name, I love your friendship, I love the life that spends on your life.
Now let’s replace above sentences by Shauk शौक.
1. Mujhe Football KhelNE Kaa Shauk Hai. ( I am fond of playing football.)
मुझे फुटबॉल खेलने का शौक़ है |
2. Mujhe NaachNE Kaa Bahut Shauk Hai. ( I am fond of dancing very much.)
मुझे नाचने का बहुत शौक़ है |
3. Mujhe GhhuumNE Kaa Ati Shauk Hai. ( I am fond of travelling too much.)
मुझे घूमने का अति शौक़ है |
4. Mujhe TV DekhNE Kaa Bahut Jyaada Shauk Hai. ( I am fond of watching TV.)
मुझे टीवी देखने का बहुत ज्यादा शौक़ है |
Difference :
The meaning full difference you already saw and I am sure you figured it out what they mean. But also how structurally they differentiate , You saw above.
1. When you use 2nd case of sentences you have to make oblique form and the verbs ends with NE ने , while in first case where you are expression I like/love structure, you are using verb in present indefinite form – NA ना
2. In 2nd case you also have to add Kaa का (for masculine verb) Ki की (feminine verb) after the verb which basically means you are adding “of” – like fond of dancing, fond of playing, fond of writing etc)
Watch the following video lesson on above lesson prepared – Learn Hindi for Beginners – Confusion 1.
plz clarify this “Dadee valee bahin solah saal kii hai
aur chota valee chaar saal kaa hai” my question is when do u add valee and when don’t you add the word valee because one can easily say mera bahin solah saal kii hai na?
Dear, motika, please watch this video , if it removes your doubt, if not then let me know, I will make another video -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hyBx5khlfk
I’ve always been confused on this because it is so different from English, but what are all the different ways to say “to have” in Hindi since such a word does not exist?
Tori jee, it will be better if you could give me few example then I will love to translate and structured it. 😉 Thanks in Advance 😀
I learned that with objects you can use “Mere paas hai” to say “I have.”
Mere paas kitaab hai.
How do I say “I have 3 brothers?” Would it be different for using with people?
Mmm.. I felt now little easier to understand. Thank you for clearing dear Tori 🙂
So, to say ” I have three brother” you have to say – ” mere teen bhai/bhaiya hain” or you can also say – mere paas teen bhaiya hain.
I have three pen – Mere paas teen kalame Hain.
I have three books – Mere paas teen kitaabe hain.
I have many books – Mere paas bahut saare kitaabe Hain.
I have only 1 book – mere paas ek hi kitaab hai.
I have to buy a book – mujhe ek kitaab kharidNA hai.
I have to call Anil – Mujhe Anik Ko call karNA Hai.
I have to learn Hindi – Mujhe Hindi SikhNA Hai.
I have to write a letter – Mujhe ek Chitthi/Patra LikhNA Hai.
I have to work hard. – Mujhe bahut Mehnat KarNA hai.
Dear Tori, I have these sentences will help you to get some idea, if not any more further explanation you need, I will be more than happy. 🙂
बहुत धन्यवाद, जी. That really helps!
