the description next up tenses learning about tenses is very important in order to understand any language in Hindi tense is called called so present tense is past tense is bhutkal and future tense is bhavishikal and just like in English in Hindi also tenses are usually manifested by the use of specific forms of verb so what I'm going to do here is first I will tell you the root of the verb so that you can see how it changes depending on the tense in Hindi root of the verb is called dhatu then I will tell you the simple present past and future tense forms of that verb also in Hindi all these tense forms are gender specific which means for each tense the verb changes form depending on the gender I will tell you that too as an example verb let us take a verb that you learned earlier to walk which in Hindi is chalna now here the root or dhatu is chal so keep in mind the root is chal and now let us see how it changes in different tenses first is simple present tense which in English will be I walk in Hindi remember it's gender specific first masculine gender foreign foreign I walk for feminine gender it will be who chalti me who I walk simple past tense in English will be I walked in Hindi for masculine gender it will be Chala Joe plus r May Chala I walked meh chali chal plus e challie May I walked for simple future tense in English is I will walk and in Hindi for masculine it will be plus I will walk foreign so this was for chal that is walk but you can apply this rule to other verbs that you have learned let me give you the dhatu or root of two more verbs and you can then practice tenses with them on your own the first one is to run daughter now and here the dhatu is door and just like I walk for I run in Hindi it will be for masculine and so on the next verb is to sit back now and thatu here will be bad this was an introduction to figure out tenses for different verbs in Hindi if you want to learn more about tenses check out my video tenses in Hindi simple present

you here up is you and Casey is how so how are you Maya says which means I am fine tea can be fine or okay so it can also mean I'm okay and then she asks which means how are you here you will notice that both Mohan and Maya ask the same question how are you but in Hindi it's slightly different when Mohan asks the question to Maya he uses the word Cassie which is feminine and when Maya uses the same word she uses the masculine gender Cassie both mean how are you to Maya's question Mohan responds by saying as you know one of the meanings the literal meaning is good I am good and then his question is where are you from up is you is there and say is from where are you from Maya says I am from Chicago and then she asks or up again or means and an up is you so or up means and you it is the same as asking and where are you from so Mohan says which means I am from India because India in Hindi is called Bharat Maya responds by saying acha here acha means more like really or or really
