== Introduction == | === Introduction to Sindhi Verbs === | ||
Sindhi verbs are integral to forming sentences and expressing actions. In Sindhi, verbs can change form based on the subject, tense, and mood. This flexibility allows for a rich expression of ideas and emotions. | |||
Verbs in Sindhi can be classified into two main categories: | |||
* '''Transitive Verbs''': These require a direct object to complete their meaning. | |||
* '''Intransitive Verbs''': These do not require a direct object. | |||
Let’s dive deeper into the types of verbs before we explore the tenses. | |||
=== Types of Verbs === | |||
==== Transitive Verbs ==== | |||
Transitive verbs are actions that are performed on someone or something. For example, if you say "He eats an apple," "eats" is a transitive verb because it requires an object (the apple). | |||

Welcome to today’s lesson on Sindhi Verbs and Tenses! Understanding verbs and their tenses is crucial for constructing meaningful sentences in any language, including Sindhi. Verbs are the action words in our sentences, and mastering them allows you to express actions, states, and occurrences clearly.
In this lesson, we will explore the structure of Sindhi verbs, how to conjugate them in different tenses, and how to apply this knowledge in everyday conversations. By the end of this lesson, you will have a solid foundation in realizing how verbs function in Sindhi grammar.
Here’s what we’ll cover:

- Exercises for Practice
Introduction to Sindhi Verbs[edit | edit source]
Sindhi verbs are integral to forming sentences and expressing actions. In Sindhi, verbs can change form based on the subject, tense, and mood. This flexibility allows for a rich expression of ideas and emotions.
Verbs in Sindhi can be classified into two main categories:
- Transitive Verbs: These require a direct object to complete their meaning.
- Intransitive Verbs: These do not require a direct object.
Let’s dive deeper into the types of verbs before we explore the tenses.
Types of Verbs[edit | edit source]
Transitive Verbs[edit | edit source]
Transitive verbs are actions that are performed on someone or something. For example, if you say "He eats an apple," "eats" is a transitive verb because it requires an object (the apple).
Sindhi | Pronunciation | English |
---|---|---|
کائڻ | kā'īṇ | to eat |
لکڻ | likhṇ | to write |
پلوڻ | palūṇ | to play |
ڏسڻ | diśaṇ | to see |
Intransitive Verbs[edit | edit source]
Intransitive verbs express actions that do not require a direct object. For example, "He sleeps" uses "sleeps" as an intransitive verb.
Sindhi | Pronunciation | English |
---|---|---|
سُڻڻ | suṇṇ | to sleep |
هلڻ | halaṇ | to walk |
پئجي وڃڻ | paī̃jī vaṇhṇ | to arrive |
روئڻ | ro'ṇ | to cry |
Tenses in Sindhi[edit | edit source]
Now that we have a grasp of the types of verbs, let's discuss the three main tenses in the Sindhi language: Present, Past, and Future. Each tense conveys different times of action and is vital for effective communication.
Present Tense[edit | edit source]
The present tense indicates actions that are currently happening or habitual actions.
Structure: Subject + Verb in Present Form
Here are some common verbs in the present tense:
Sindhi | Pronunciation | English |
---|---|---|
مان کائيندو آھيان | māṁ kā'īndo āhiyān | I eat |
تون پڙهيندو آھين | tū parhīndo āhiṇ | You read |
هو هلندو آحي | ho halaṇdo āhi | He walks |
اسان ڏسندا آھيون | asān diśandā āhiyōn | We see |
Past Tense[edit | edit source]
The past tense is used to express actions that have already occurred.
Structure: Subject + Verb in Past Form
Here are some examples:
Sindhi | Pronunciation | English |
---|---|---|
مان کائو | māṁ kā'ō | I ate |
تون پڙهيو | tū parhiyō | You read (past) |
هو هلندو هو | ho halaṇdo hō | He walked |
اسان ڏٺو | asān diṭhō | We saw |
Future Tense[edit | edit source]
The future tense describes actions that are yet to happen.
Structure: Subject + Verb in Future Form
Here are examples in the future tense:
Sindhi | Pronunciation | English |
---|---|---|
مان کائيندس | māṁ kā'īndas | I will eat |
تون پڙهندينس | tū parhīndīns | You will read |
هو هلندو | ho halaṇdo | He will walk |
اسان ڏسنداسين | asān diśandāsiṇ | We will see |
Examples of Verbs in Sentences[edit | edit source]
To better understand how these verbs work in context, here are complete sentences using the verbs we discussed along with their translations:
