    Khel is play. Isn’t it a Transitive verb?
    When I say i played. The question What is asked. I played football is the answer. So for I Played in hindi it must be Meine cricket Khela(for male).
    So why is it in this lesson? and if i am right about this, please do tell me for Aap and Tum (you played football).
    Thank you.
    Love the way your lessons are structured. Amazing!

    1. Learn Hindi @ Mind ur Hindi

      No
      “khelna” is not a transitive verb though you can get answer by asking question “what” to this verb.

      Boy : Main cricket khela
      Girl : Main cricket kheli

      To a boy : tum cricket khele (You played cricket)
      To a girl : tum cricket kheli (You played cricket)

  2. Bharath Swaminathan

    Also for Aap and Tum, the root verb ends with the ‘ae’ sound whether it is masculine or feminine right? or am i wrong? now its confusing haha.

    1. Learn Hindi @ Mind ur Hindi

      Yes you are right. It can work for both genders.

      but for feminine , you can end with the sound of “ee”.

      Both are right.

  3. I am bit confused about the usage of maine/thumne/ne for transitive verbs. If drink is a transitive verb, should not we use john ne instead of just john for “John drank water”. Drink is associated with object water/juice/etc.,

    Because, there is an example in the previous lesson as ~peeter ne kitaab padhee~

    Please clarify me on this.

    Thanks
