=== Introduction to Sindhi Verbs ===


Welcome to the lesson on Sindhi verbs and tenses! In this lesson, we will explore the different forms of Sindhi verbs, the various tenses used in the Sindhi language, and how to form and use them in sentences. Understanding verbs and tenses is essential for building accurate and meaningful sentences in Sindhi. By the end of this lesson, you will have a solid foundation in Sindhi verb conjugation and be able to express actions in the past, present, and future with ease. Let's dive in!
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.  


== Sindhi Verbs: An Overview ==
Verbs in Sindhi can be classified into two main categories:


Verbs are an integral part of any language, and Sindhi is no exception. In Sindhi, verbs are words that express actions, occurrences, or states of being. They are the powerhouse of sentences, allowing us to convey information about what is happening or has happened. Sindhi verbs can be conjugated to match the subject of the sentence, indicating the person, number, and gender of the subject.
* '''Transitive Verbs''': These require a direct object to complete their meaning.


Sindhi verbs have three principal forms: the infinitive, the present participle, and the past participle. The infinitive form of a verb represents the base form of the verb, and it is usually the form that is found in dictionaries. The present participle form is used to express ongoing or continuous actions, while the past participle form is used to express completed or finished actions.
* '''Intransitive Verbs''': These do not require a direct object.


Let's take a look at an example to understand the different forms of Sindhi verbs:
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).


{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"
! Sindhi !! Pronunciation !! English
! Sindhi !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|-
| کندڙ || kandar || to read
 
|-
| کائڻ || kā'īṇ || to eat
| کندڙندڙ || kandarindar || reading
 
|-
|-
| پڙھڻو || parhinjo || read
|}


In the above example, "کندڙ" (kandar) represents the infinitive form of the verb "to read." "کندڙندڙ" (kandarindar) represents the present participle form of the verb "reading," and "پڙھڻو" (parhinjo) represents the past participle form of the verb "read."
| لکڻ || likhṇ || to write


Now that we have a basic understanding of Sindhi verbs, let's explore the different tenses used in Sindhi and how to conjugate verbs accordingly.
|-


== Tenses in Sindhi ==
| پلوڻ || palūṇ || to play


Tenses in Sindhi are used to indicate the time of an action or event. There are three main tenses in Sindhi: the present tense, the past tense, and the future tense. Each tense has its own set of conjugation rules and markers that indicate the time of the action or event.
|-


=== Present Tense ===
| ڏسڻ || diśaṇ || to see


The present tense is used to describe actions or events that are happening now or are ongoing. In Sindhi, the present tense is formed by adding specific markers to the verb stem. The markers vary depending on the subject of the sentence. Let's take a look at some examples:
|}


==== Singular Subjects ====
==== Intransitive Verbs ====


When the subject of the sentence is singular, the present tense marker is added directly to the verb stem. Here are some examples:
Intransitive verbs express actions that do not require a direct object. For example, "He sleeps" uses "sleeps" as an intransitive verb.


{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"

|-
|-
| ۾وڻ || miyo || I eat
 
| سُڻڻ || suṇṇ || to sleep
 
|-
|-
| ۾ڏڻ || tu || You eat
 
| هلڻ || halaṇ || to walk
 
|-
|-
| ۾ڏڻ || aahe || He/She eats
 
| پئجي وڃڻ || paī̃jī vaṇhṇ || to arrive
 
|-
 
| روئڻ || ro'ṇ || to cry
 
|}
|}


In the above examples, the present tense marker "وڻ" (yo) is added to the verb stem "ڏڻ" (dhan) to form the present tense.
=== Tenses in Sindhi ===


When the subject of the sentence is plural, the present tense marker changes. Here are some examples:
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.


==== Plural Subjects ====
==== Present Tense ====
 
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:


{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"
! Sindhi !! Pronunciation !! English

|-
|-
| ۾ڏون || asan || We eat
 
| مان کائيندو آھيان || māṁ kā'īndo āhiyān || I eat

| تون پڙهيندو آھين || tū parhīndo āhiṇ || You read
 
|-
|-
| ۾ڏين || tusan || You all eat
 
| هو هلندو آحي || ho halaṇdo āhi || He walks
 
|-
|-
| ۾ڏين || aahin || They eat
 
| اسان ڏسندا آھيون || asān diśandā āhiyōn || We see
 
|}
|}


In the above examples, the present tense marker "ون" (un) is added to the verb stem "ڏڻ" (dhan) to form the present tense for plural subjects.
==== Past Tense ====


=== Past Tense ===
The past tense is used to express actions that have already occurred.


The past tense is used to describe actions or events that have already happened. In Sindhi, the past tense is formed by adding specific markers to the verb stem. The markers vary depending on the subject of the sentence. Let's take a look at some examples:
'''Structure''': Subject + Verb in Past Form


==== Singular Subjects ====
Here are some examples:


When the subject of the sentence is singular, the past tense marker is added directly to the verb stem. Here are some examples:
{| class="wikitable"


{| class="wikitable"

|-
|-
| ڏيڻو || me || I ate
 
| مان کائو || māṁ kā'ō || I ate
 
|-
|-

| تون پڙهيو || tū parhiyō || You read (past)
 
|-
 
| هو هلندو هو || ho halaṇdo hō || He walked
 
|-
|-
| ڏيڻو || aahe || He/She ate
 
| اسان ڏٺو || asān diṭhō || We saw
 
|}
|}


In the above examples, the past tense marker "ڻو" (no) is added to the verb stem "ڏيڻ" (dhan) to form the past tense.
==== Future Tense ====


When the subject of the sentence is plural, the past tense marker changes. Here are some examples:
The future tense describes actions that are yet to happen.


==== Plural Subjects ====
'''Structure''': Subject + Verb in Future Form
 
Here are examples in the future tense:


{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"

| ڏيڻا || tusi || You all ate
 
| تون پڙهندينس || tū parhīndīns || You will read
 
|-
|-
| ڏيڻا || aahin || They ate
|}


In the above examples, the past tense marker "ڻا" (na) is added to the verb stem "ڏيڻ" (dhan) to form the past tense for plural subjects.
| هو هلندو || ho halaṇdo || He will walk


=== Future Tense ===
|-


The future tense is used to describe actions or events that will happen in the future. In Sindhi, the future tense is formed by adding specific markers to the verb stem. The markers vary depending on the subject of the sentence. Let's take a look at some examples:
| اسان ڏسنداسين || asān diśandāsiṇ || We will see


==== Singular Subjects ====
|}


When the subject of the sentence is singular, the future tense marker is added directly to the verb stem. Here are some examples:
=== Examples of Verbs in Sentences ===

Sindhi, being a rich and diverse language, has regional variations in the usage and understanding of verbs and tenses. These variations can be attributed to historical reasons and cultural influences. For example, in certain regions of Sindh, the present tense marker for singular subjects is "وان" (aan) instead of "وڻ" (yo). Similarly, the past tense marker for plural subjects is "ڻاڻ" (nana) in some regions.
* هو هلندو.

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:

  • Introduction to Sindhi Verbs
  • Types of Verbs
  • Tenses in Sindhi
  • Present Tense
  • Past Tense
  • Future Tense
  • Examples of Verbs in Sentences
  • 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:

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.
