What I’m doing in Hindi

In this Hindi Lesson
You will learn present continuous tense in Hindi

Before we learn present continuous tense in Hindi, we shall first see the present continuous tense in English.

Simple present : I go

Present Continuous : I am go-ing.

Simple present: I eat

Present Continuous : I am eat-ing.

“I go” represent the action you usually do while ” I am going” shows what you are doing right now. You have attached a suffix -ing to the root of the verb (go,eat) so to make it work in the present continuous tense.

Hindi is no different

Simple present : मैं जा-ता हूँ | (main jaataa hoon) = I go

Present Continuous: मैं जा रहा हूँ  (main jaa rahaa hoon)   or  मैं जा रही हूँ (main jaa rahi hoon)  =  I am going.

All you have to do is to  attach a suffix रहा हूँ (rahaa hoon) or  रही हूँ (rahee hoon) to the root of the verb.

Boys will say : रहा हूँ (rahaa hoon)

and

Girls will say : रही हूँ (rahee hoon)
