== Introduction ==
=== Definition and Explanation of Reported Speech ===
 
Reported speech is used to convey someone else's words or thoughts without quoting them directly. In Sindhi, this involves some changes in verb tenses, pronouns, and time expressions. When transforming direct speech into reported speech, it is essential to maintain the original meaning while adapting the sentence structure.
 
'''Key Changes in Reported Speech:'''
 
* '''Tense Shift:''' Generally, the verb tense shifts back one tense.
 
* '''Pronoun Change:''' Pronouns must be adjusted according to the context.
 
* '''Time Expressions:''' Words that indicate time may need to be modified.
 
=== Changing Direct Speech to Reported Speech ===
 
Let’s explore how to transform direct speech into reported speech in Sindhi. We will start with a few fundamental rules:
 
1. '''Tense Change:'''
 
* Present Simple → Past Simple
 
* Present Continuous → Past Continuous
 
* Present Perfect → Past Perfect
 
* Past Simple → Past Perfect
 
2. '''Pronoun Changes:'''
 
* "I" changes to "he/she"
 
* "you" changes to "I" or "he/she" based on context
 
* "my" changes to "his/her"
 
* "your" changes to "my" or "his/her" based on context
 
3. '''Time Expressions:'''
 
* "now" becomes "then"
 
* "today" becomes "that day"
 
* "tomorrow" becomes "the next day"
 
* "yesterday" remains "yesterday"
 
Here is a table to illustrate these changes:
 
{| class="wikitable"
 
! Direct Speech (Sindhi) !! Pronunciation !! Reported Speech (Sindhi) !! Pronunciation !! English Translation
 
|-
 
| "مون کي پيار آهي" || "Mun khe pyaar aahe" || "هن چيو ته مون کي پيار آهي" || "Hun chayo ta mun khe pyaar aahe" || "He said that he loves me"
 
|-
 
| "تُو اڄ اسڪول ويندين" || "Tu aaj school windin" || "هن چيو ته تون اڄ اسڪول ويندين" || "Hun chayo ta tun aaj school windin" || "He said that you will go to school today"
 
|-
 
| "هُن کي سمجهڻ ۾ وقت لڳو" || "Hun khe samjhan mein waqt lago" || "هن چيو ته هُن کي سمجهڻ ۾ وقت لڳو" || "Hun chayo ta hun khe samjhan mein waqt lago" || "He said that it took him time to understand"
 
|-
 
| "مون کي اوهان سان ملڻ جو شوق آهي" || "Mun khe ohan san milan jo shauq aahe" || "هن چيو ته مون کي اوهان سان ملڻ جو شوق آهي" || "Hun chayo ta mun khe ohan san milan jo shauq aahe" || "He said that he likes to meet you"
 
|}
 
=== Use of Reporting Verbs ===
 
In Sindhi, we can use various reporting verbs to convey the speaker's attitude. Here are some common reporting verbs and their usage:
 
* '''چيو (Chayo)''' - said
 
* '''پوڇيو (Pochayo)''' - asked
 
* '''بتايو (Batayo)''' - told
 
* '''سمجهايو (Samjhayo)''' - explained
 
* '''سفارش ڪيو (Sifarish Kayo)''' - suggested
 
Using these verbs can provide additional context about how the message was delivered. For example:
 
* '''چيو (Chayo):''' "هن چيو ته هو خوش آهي" (He said that he is happy).
 
* '''پوڇيو (Pochayo):''' "هن پوڇيو ته ڇا توهان آيا آهيو؟" (He asked if you came).
 
* '''بتايو (Batayo):''' "هن ٻڌايو ته ان کي مسئلو آهي" (He told that he has a problem).
 
Here’s a table showcasing different reporting verbs:
 
{| class="wikitable"
 
! Reporting Verb (Sindhi) !! Pronunciation !! English Translation
 
|-
 
| چيو || Chayo || said
 
|-
 
| پوڇيو || Pochayo || asked
 
|-
 
| ٻڌايو || Batayo || told
 
|-
 
| سمجهايو || Samjhayo || explained
 
|-
 
| سفارش ڪيو || Sifarish Kayo || suggested
 
|}
 
=== Examples of Reported Speech in Sindhi ===
 
Now that we have a grasp of the rules, let’s see some more examples of converting direct speech into reported speech:
 
{| class="wikitable"
 
! Direct Speech (Sindhi) !! Pronunciation !! Reported Speech (Sindhi) !! Pronunciation !! English Translation
 
|-
 
| "مون کي وڻندو آهي" || "Mun khe vandiddo aahe" || "هن چيو ته مون کي وڻندو آهي" || "Hun chayo ta mun khe vandiddo aahe" || "He said that he likes it"
 
|-
 
| "تُو سکڻ ۾ مصروف آهين" || "Tu sikhan mein masroof aahin" || "هن چيو ته تون سکڻ ۾ مصروف آهين" || "Hun chayo ta tun sikhan mein masroof aahin" || "He said that you are busy learning"
 
|-
 
| "اهي خوش آهن" || "Ahi khush aahin" || "هن چيو ته اهي خوش آهن" || "Hun chayo ta ahi khush aahin" || "He said that they are happy"
 
|-

|-
 
| "هُن کي نئون ڪتاب مليو" || "Hun khe nayo kitaab milo" || "هن چيو ته هُن کي نئون ڪتاب مليو" || "Hun chayo ta hun khe nayo kitaab milo" || "He said that he got a new book"
 
|}
 
As we can see, transforming direct speech to reported speech in Sindhi involves altering pronouns, verbs, and sometimes the time expressions.
 
=== Practice Exercises ===
 
Now that you have understood the concept of reported speech, it’s time to practice! Below are some exercises designed to help you apply what you have learned.
 
==== Exercise 1: Convert Direct Speech to Reported Speech ====
 
Transform the following sentences from direct to reported speech.
 
1. "مون کي خوشي محسوس ٿي رهي آهي."
 
2. "تُو اڄ رات آئيندو."
 
3. "هن چيو ته ان کي مدد گهرجي."


In this lesson, we will learn how to use reported speech in Sindhi. Reported speech is used when we want to talk about what someone else said. We will learn about changing direct speech to indirect speech and using reporting verbs.
4. "مون کي پڙهڻ پسند آهي."


Reported speech is an advanced grammar concept, so it is important to have a good understanding of basic grammar concepts before attempting to learn this topic.
5. "تُو هميشه وقت تي اچين ٿو."


== Direct and Indirect Speech ==
'''Solutions:'''


Direct speech is when we report someone's words exactly as they said them, using quotation marks. For example, if someone says, "I am going to the store," we would write:
1. "هن چيو ته مون کي خوشي محسوس ٿي رهي آهي."


"من دکان جائيندو آهيان."
2. "هن چيو ته تون اڄ رات آئيندو."


Indirect speech is when we report what someone said without using their exact words. We must change the tense and pronouns to match the new context. For example, if we want to report the above statement in indirect speech, we would write:
3. "هن چيو ته ان کي مدد گهرجي."


"او ڀت ڪري آهندي کہ انهون جي ڪرڻ هي دکان جاندي آهن."
4. "هن چيو ته مون کي پڙهڻ پسند آهي."


Notice that the verb "going" was changed to "had gone" and "I" was changed to "he/she."
5. "هن چيو ته تون هميشه وقت تي اچين ٿو."


== Changing Direct Speech to Indirect Speech ==
==== Exercise 2: Identify the Reporting Verb ====


When changing direct speech to indirect speech, we need to follow certain rules.
Read the following sentences and identify the reporting verb used.


=== Rule 1: Tense Change ===
1. "هن چيو ته هو اسڪول وڃي رهيو آهي."
When changing direct speech to indirect speech, we need to change the tense of the verb. The tense changes as follows:


| Direct Speech || Indirect Speech |
2. "هن پڇيو ته ڇا توهان کي خبر آهي؟"
| present simple || past simple |
| present continuous || past continuous |
| present perfect || past perfect |
| past simple || past perfect |
| past continuous || past perfect continuous |
| past perfect || past perfect |


For example:
3. "هن ٻڌايو ته ان کي وقت جي ضرورت آهي."
Direct speech: "I am watching TV."
Indirect speech: "او ڀت ڪري آهندي کہ من ٽيليويزن وڌندي آهن."


Notice in the indirect speech, we have changed "am watching" to "was watching."
4. "هن سفارش ڪيو ته توهان کي مشق ڪرڻ گهرجي."


=== Rule 2: Pronoun Change ===
'''Solutions:'''
When changing direct speech to indirect speech, we also need to change the pronouns. The pronoun changes as follows:


| Direct Speech || Indirect Speech |
1. چيو (Chayo)
| I || he/she |
| we || they |
| you || you |
| he/she/it || they |
| they || they |


For example:
2. پوڇيو (Pochayo)
Direct speech: "I like ice cream."
Indirect speech: "او ڀت ڪري آهندي کہ انهون کي آئس ڪريم پسند آهي."


Notice in the indirect speech, we have changed "I" to "he/she" and "like" to "liked."
3. ٻڌايو (Batayo)


=== Rule 3: Reporting Verb ===
4. سفارش ڪيو (Sifarish Kayo)
When changing direct speech to indirect speech, we also need to use a reporting verb to indicate that we are reporting what someone else said. Some common reporting verbs used in Sindhi include:


| Reporting Verb || Example |
==== Exercise 3: Change Pronouns ====
| جيڪڏهن || او ڀت هڪ جملن ٽيکيدو۔ جيڪڏهن، من مڌگهاري سان ٽيفاني جتني ڦتيو۔ |
| کنهنجو || او ڀت هڪ جملن ٽيکيدو۔ کنهنجو، پاڪستان پلها۔ |
| وڏو || او ڀت هڪ جملن ٽيکيدو۔ وڏو، انهون کي ھڪ ٽيم حڪم ديسو۔ |


For example:
Change the pronouns in the following sentences to fit the context of reported speech.
Direct speech: "I am tired."
Indirect speech: "جيڪڏهن من اوڀت ٿيا سان تهنجي نڪل تڪ آڻيو ٿا."


Notice in the indirect speech, we have used the reporting verb "جيڪڏهن."
1. "مون کي سمجهڻ ۾ وقت لڳو."


== Using Reported Speech ==
2. "تُو ڪهڙو ڪتاب پڙهندين؟"


Now that we know how to change direct speech to indirect speech, let's look at how to use reported speech in sentences.
3. "اسان کي سٺو تجربو مليو."


=== Example 1 ===
4. "تُو اڄ رات پارٽي ۾ اچيندو؟"
Direct speech: "I will come tomorrow."
Indirect speech: "او ڀت ڪري آهندي کہ ٻلها پئوندو آهندي."


In the above example, we have used indirect speech to report what someone said. We used the past tense "will come" to create indirect speech, and the pronoun "I" was changed to "he/she."
'''Solutions:'''


=== Example 2 ===
1. "هن چيو ته هن کي سمجهڻ ۾ وقت لڳو."
Direct speech: "She said to me, 'I am hungry.'"
Indirect speech: "جيڪڏهن اُنهن جو ڪها ته مڙههن ۾ آهيا، 'من جيجانداس سان بہوڪي ويوڻ.' ڪنهنجو چاهوندو که، ڀت تهن ڦيا."


In the above example, we are reporting what someone else said to us. We used the reporting verb "جيڪڏهن" to indicate that we are reporting what someone else said. We also changed "I" to "he/she" and "am hungry" to "was hungry."
2. "هن چيو ته تون ڪهڙو ڪتاب پڙهندين؟"


=== Example 3 ===
3. "هن چيو ته اسان کي سٺو تجربو مليو."
Direct speech: "They are playing basketball."
Indirect speech: "کنهنجو، اڳ فاصلون جو کهڙي ڪري رهندي آهندي."


In the above example, we are reporting what someone else is doing. We used the present continuous tense "are playing" to create indirect speech, and the pronoun "they" was not changed.
4. "هن چيو ته تون اڄ رات پارٽي ۾ اچيندو؟"


== Conclusion ==
==== Exercise 4: Fill in the Blanks ====


Reported speech is an important grammar concept in Sindhi. In this lesson, we learned how to change direct speech to indirect speech, use reporting verbs, and form reported speech sentences. By mastering this concept, you will be able to communicate more effectively in Sindhi.
Fill in the blanks with the correct form of reported speech:
 
1. "تُو ____ (چيو) ته مون کي وقت جي ضرورت آهي."
 
2. "هن ____ (پوڇيو) ته ڇا توهان کي خبر آهي؟"
 
3. "مون ____ (بتايو) ته ان کي مدد گهرجي."
 
'''Solutions:'''
 
1. "تُو چيو ته مون کي وقت جي ضرورت آهي."
 
2. "هن پوڇيو ته ڇا توهان کي خبر آهي؟"
 
3. "مون ٻڌايو ته ان کي مدد گهرجي."
 
==== Exercise 5: Practice Writing ====

This lesson is essential because it allows us to convey what others have said without quoting them directly. Understanding reported speech not only enhances our conversation skills but also helps in comprehending stories, news, and daily interactions more effectively.

Importance of Reported Speech[edit | edit source]

Reported speech, also known as indirect speech, plays a crucial role in everyday communication. It enables us to share information, relay conversations, and express thoughts efficiently. In Sindhi, like in English, we can use reported speech to convey messages in a more fluid manner. As we learn to switch from direct quotes to reported forms, we gain flexibility in our speech and writing.

In this lesson, we will cover:

  • Definition and Explanation of Reported Speech
  • Changing Direct Speech to Reported Speech
  • Use of Reporting Verbs
  • Examples of Reported Speech in Sindhi
  • Practice Exercises with Solutions

By the end of this lesson, you will be equipped with the knowledge and skills to use reported speech confidently in Sindhi!

Definition and Explanation of Reported Speech[edit | edit source]

Reported speech is used to convey someone else's words or thoughts without quoting them directly. In Sindhi, this involves some changes in verb tenses, pronouns, and time expressions. When transforming direct speech into reported speech, it is essential to maintain the original meaning while adapting the sentence structure.

Key Changes in Reported Speech:

  • Tense Shift: Generally, the verb tense shifts back one tense.
  • Pronoun Change: Pronouns must be adjusted according to the context.
  • Time Expressions: Words that indicate time may need to be modified.

Changing Direct Speech to Reported Speech[edit | edit source]

Let’s explore how to transform direct speech into reported speech in Sindhi. We will start with a few fundamental rules:

1. Tense Change:

  • Present Simple → Past Simple
  • Present Continuous → Past Continuous
  • Present Perfect → Past Perfect
  • Past Simple → Past Perfect

2. Pronoun Changes:

  • "I" changes to "he/she"
  • "you" changes to "I" or "he/she" based on context
  • "my" changes to "his/her"
  • "your" changes to "my" or "his/her" based on context

3. Time Expressions:

  • "now" becomes "then"
  • "today" becomes "that day"
  • "tomorrow" becomes "the next day"
  • "yesterday" remains "yesterday"

Here is a table to illustrate these changes:

Direct Speech (Sindhi) Pronunciation Reported Speech (Sindhi) Pronunciation English Translation
"مون کي پيار آهي" "Mun khe pyaar aahe" "هن چيو ته مون کي پيار آهي" "Hun chayo ta mun khe pyaar aahe" "He said that he loves me"
"تُو اڄ اسڪول ويندين" "Tu aaj school windin" "هن چيو ته تون اڄ اسڪول ويندين" "Hun chayo ta tun aaj school windin" "He said that you will go to school today"
"هُن کي سمجهڻ ۾ وقت لڳو" "Hun khe samjhan mein waqt lago" "هن چيو ته هُن کي سمجهڻ ۾ وقت لڳو" "Hun chayo ta hun khe samjhan mein waqt lago" "He said that it took him time to understand"
"مون کي اوهان سان ملڻ جو شوق آهي" "Mun khe ohan san milan jo shauq aahe" "هن چيو ته مون کي اوهان سان ملڻ جو شوق آهي" "Hun chayo ta mun khe ohan san milan jo shauq aahe" "He said that he likes to meet you"

Use of Reporting Verbs[edit | edit source]

In Sindhi, we can use various reporting verbs to convey the speaker's attitude. Here are some common reporting verbs and their usage:

  • چيو (Chayo) - said
  • پوڇيو (Pochayo) - asked
  • بتايو (Batayo) - told
  • سمجهايو (Samjhayo) - explained
  • سفارش ڪيو (Sifarish Kayo) - suggested

Using these verbs can provide additional context about how the message was delivered. For example:

  • چيو (Chayo): "هن چيو ته هو خوش آهي" (He said that he is happy).
  • پوڇيو (Pochayo): "هن پوڇيو ته ڇا توهان آيا آهيو؟" (He asked if you came).
  • بتايو (Batayo): "هن ٻڌايو ته ان کي مسئلو آهي" (He told that he has a problem).

Here’s a table showcasing different reporting verbs:

Reporting Verb (Sindhi) Pronunciation English Translation
چيو Chayo said
پوڇيو Pochayo asked
ٻڌايو Batayo told
سمجهايو Samjhayo explained
سفارش ڪيو Sifarish Kayo suggested

Examples of Reported Speech in Sindhi[edit | edit source]

Now that we have a grasp of the rules, let’s see some more examples of converting direct speech into reported speech:

Direct Speech (Sindhi) Pronunciation Reported Speech (Sindhi) Pronunciation English Translation
"مون کي وڻندو آهي" "Mun khe vandiddo aahe" "هن چيو ته مون کي وڻندو آهي" "Hun chayo ta mun khe vandiddo aahe" "He said that he likes it"
"تُو سکڻ ۾ مصروف آهين" "Tu sikhan mein masroof aahin" "هن چيو ته تون سکڻ ۾ مصروف آهين" "Hun chayo ta tun sikhan mein masroof aahin" "He said that you are busy learning"
"اهي خوش آهن" "Ahi khush aahin" "هن چيو ته اهي خوش آهن" "Hun chayo ta ahi khush aahin" "He said that they are happy"
"مون کي اڄ موڪل آهي" "Mun khe aaj mokal aahe" "هن چيو ته مون کي اڄ موڪل آهي" "Hun chayo ta mun khe aaj mokal aahe" "He said that I have a holiday today"
"هُن کي نئون ڪتاب مليو" "Hun khe nayo kitaab milo" "هن چيو ته هُن کي نئون ڪتاب مليو" "Hun chayo ta hun khe nayo kitaab milo" "He said that he got a new book"
