== 1. Introduction to Passive Voice == | |||
Let's | Passive voice is a grammatical construction that emphasizes the object or receiver of an action rather than the subject. In Sindhi, passive voice is formed by using the appropriate form of the auxiliary verb "هجڻو" (hajjo), followed by the past participle of the main verb. Passive voice allows us to shift the focus of a sentence and highlight the recipient or object of the action. Let's explore the formation of passive sentences in Sindhi in the following sections. | ||
== 2. Formation of Passive Sentences == | |||
Passive | |||
To form a passive sentence in Sindhi, we follow a specific structure: | |||
[Object] + [هجڻو] (hajjo) + [Past Participle of Verb] | |||
Let's look at some examples to understand this structure better: | |||
'''Example 1:''' | |||
{| class="wikitable" | |||
! Sindhi !! Pronunciation !! English | |||
|- | |||
| مينو ڪتاب وڌو. || Mīnū kitāb v̤aḍō. || I read the book. | |||
|- | |||
| ڪتاب هجڻي ويا آهي. || Kitāb hajjiyā viyā āhī. || The book is being read by me. | |||
|} | |||
'''Example 2:''' | |||
{| class="wikitable" | |||
! Sindhi !! Pronunciation !! English | |||
|- | |||
| توهان سڄي ماڻهن ٻوليو آهيو. || Tuhān sāḍī māṇhẽ ḍhūliyō āhīyō. || You have washed all the clothes. | |||
|- | |||
| سڄي ماڻهن هجڻي ويو آهن. || Sāḍī māṇhẽ hajjiyā viyō āhīn. || All the clothes have been washed by you. | |||
|} | |||
In these examples, we can see how the focus of the sentence shifts from the subject (the doer of the action) to the object (the receiver of the action) in the passive voice construction. The auxiliary verb "هجڻو" (hajjo) is used to form the passive voice, and the past participle of the main verb follows it. It is important to note that the verb agrees in gender and number with the subject. | |||
== 3. Changing Active Sentences to Passive == | |||
In Sindhi, it is common to convert active sentences to passive to emphasize the object or recipient of the action. To change an active sentence to passive, follow these steps: | |||
1. Identify the subject, object, and verb in the active sentence. | |||
2. Use the appropriate form of the auxiliary verb "هجڻو" (hajjo), followed by the past participle of the main verb. | |||
3. Adjust the verb form to agree with the subject in gender and number. | |||
Let's see some examples of active sentences converted to passive sentences: | |||
'''Example 1:''' | |||
Active Sentence: مانهنجو والد ڪتاب وڌانديو آهي. (Mānhinjo wāld kītāb v̤aḍandiyō āhī.) | |||
Translation: My father reads the book. | |||
Passive Sentence: ڪتاب هجڻي ويا آهي. (Kitāb hajjiyā viyā āhī.) | |||
Translation: The book is being read. | |||
'''Example 2:''' | |||
Active Sentence: توهان سڄي ماڻهن ٻوليو آهيو. (Tuhān sāḍī māṇhẽ ḍhūliyō āhīyō.) | |||
Translation: You have washed all the clothes. | |||
Passive Sentence: سڄي ماڻهن هجڻي ويو آهن. (Sāḍī māṇhẽ hajjiyā viyō āhīn.) | |||
Translation: All the clothes have been washed. | |||
By converting active sentences to passive, we can shift the focus and highlight the object or recipient of the action in Sindhi sentences. | |||
== 4. Using Passive Verbs == | |||
Passive verbs are an important aspect of constructing passive sentences in Sindhi. The past participle of the main verb is used as a passive verb in these constructions. The passive verb agrees in gender and number with the subject of the sentence. | |||
Let's look at some examples of passive verbs in Sindhi: | |||
'''Example 1:''' | |||
{| class="wikitable" | {| class="wikitable" | ||
! | ! Sindhi !! Pronunciation !! English | ||
|- | |- | ||
! | | ڪتاب وڌانديو آهي. || Kitāb v̤aḍandiyō āhī. || The book is read. | ||
|- | |||
| ڪتابن وڌانديو آهن. || Kitāban v̤aḍandiyō āhīn. || The books are read. | |||
|} | |||
'''Example 2:''' | |||
{| class="wikitable" | |||
! Sindhi !! Pronunciation !! English | |||
|- | |- | ||
| قصي هجڻي ويو آهي. || Qisā hajjiyā viyō āhī. || The story is told. | |||
|- | |- | ||
| قصن هجڻي ويو آهن. || Qisān hajjiyā viyō āhīn. || The stories are told. | |||
|} | |} | ||
In these examples, we can see how the passive verb agrees with the subject in gender and number. The passive verbs "وڌانديو" (v̤aḍandiyō) and "هجڻي ويو" (hajjiyā viyō) are used to indicate the action in the passive voice. It is important to note that the verb form changes to agree with the subject. | |||
== 5. Cultural Insights: Passive Voice in Sindhi Literature == | |||
Passive voice plays a significant role in Sindhi literature, adding depth and complexity to the written word. Many Sindhi poets and authors use passive voice to evoke emotions and create vivid descriptions. The use of passive voice in Sindhi poetry and prose allows for a more nuanced portrayal of characters and situations. Additionally, historical Sindhi texts often employ passive voice to highlight the impact and consequences of certain events. Understanding passive voice in Sindhi will enhance your appreciation and comprehension of Sindhi literary works. | |||
== 6. Exercises and Practice Scenarios == | |||
Now, let's practice forming passive sentences and converting active sentences to passive. Choose the correct passive verb and complete the following sentences: | |||
'''Exercise 1:''' | |||
Passive | 1. توهان سڄي پاڻي وڌايو آهيو. (Tuhān sāḍī pāṇī v̤āḍāyō āhīyō.) | ||

1. Introduction to Passive Voice[edit | edit source]
Passive voice is a grammatical construction that emphasizes the object or receiver of an action rather than the subject. In Sindhi, passive voice is formed by using the appropriate form of the auxiliary verb "هجڻو" (hajjo), followed by the past participle of the main verb. Passive voice allows us to shift the focus of a sentence and highlight the recipient or object of the action. Let's explore the formation of passive sentences in Sindhi in the following sections.
2. Formation of Passive Sentences[edit | edit source]
To form a passive sentence in Sindhi, we follow a specific structure:
[Object] + [هجڻو] (hajjo) + [Past Participle of Verb]
Let's look at some examples to understand this structure better:
Example 1:
Sindhi | Pronunciation | English |
---|---|---|
مينو ڪتاب وڌو. | Mīnū kitāb v̤aḍō. | I read the book. |
ڪتاب هجڻي ويا آهي. | Kitāb hajjiyā viyā āhī. | The book is being read by me. |
Example 2:
Sindhi | Pronunciation | English |
---|---|---|
توهان سڄي ماڻهن ٻوليو آهيو. | Tuhān sāḍī māṇhẽ ḍhūliyō āhīyō. | You have washed all the clothes. |
سڄي ماڻهن هجڻي ويو آهن. | Sāḍī māṇhẽ hajjiyā viyō āhīn. | All the clothes have been washed by you. |
In these examples, we can see how the focus of the sentence shifts from the subject (the doer of the action) to the object (the receiver of the action) in the passive voice construction. The auxiliary verb "هجڻو" (hajjo) is used to form the passive voice, and the past participle of the main verb follows it. It is important to note that the verb agrees in gender and number with the subject.
3. Changing Active Sentences to Passive[edit | edit source]
In Sindhi, it is common to convert active sentences to passive to emphasize the object or recipient of the action. To change an active sentence to passive, follow these steps:
1. Identify the subject, object, and verb in the active sentence. 2. Use the appropriate form of the auxiliary verb "هجڻو" (hajjo), followed by the past participle of the main verb. 3. Adjust the verb form to agree with the subject in gender and number.
Let's see some examples of active sentences converted to passive sentences:
Example 1: Active Sentence: مانهنجو والد ڪتاب وڌانديو آهي. (Mānhinjo wāld kītāb v̤aḍandiyō āhī.) Translation: My father reads the book.
Passive Sentence: ڪتاب هجڻي ويا آهي. (Kitāb hajjiyā viyā āhī.) Translation: The book is being read.
Example 2: Active Sentence: توهان سڄي ماڻهن ٻوليو آهيو. (Tuhān sāḍī māṇhẽ ḍhūliyō āhīyō.) Translation: You have washed all the clothes.
Passive Sentence: سڄي ماڻهن هجڻي ويو آهن. (Sāḍī māṇhẽ hajjiyā viyō āhīn.) Translation: All the clothes have been washed.
By converting active sentences to passive, we can shift the focus and highlight the object or recipient of the action in Sindhi sentences.
4. Using Passive Verbs[edit | edit source]
Passive verbs are an important aspect of constructing passive sentences in Sindhi. The past participle of the main verb is used as a passive verb in these constructions. The passive verb agrees in gender and number with the subject of the sentence.
Let's look at some examples of passive verbs in Sindhi:
Example 1:
Sindhi | Pronunciation | English |
---|---|---|
ڪتاب وڌانديو آهي. | Kitāb v̤aḍandiyō āhī. | The book is read. |
ڪتابن وڌانديو آهن. | Kitāban v̤aḍandiyō āhīn. | The books are read. |
Example 2:
Sindhi | Pronunciation | English |
---|---|---|
قصي هجڻي ويو آهي. | Qisā hajjiyā viyō āhī. | The story is told. |
قصن هجڻي ويو آهن. | Qisān hajjiyā viyō āhīn. | The stories are told. |
In these examples, we can see how the passive verb agrees with the subject in gender and number. The passive verbs "وڌانديو" (v̤aḍandiyō) and "هجڻي ويو" (hajjiyā viyō) are used to indicate the action in the passive voice. It is important to note that the verb form changes to agree with the subject.
5. Cultural Insights: Passive Voice in Sindhi Literature[edit | edit source]
Passive voice plays a significant role in Sindhi literature, adding depth and complexity to the written word. Many Sindhi poets and authors use passive voice to evoke emotions and create vivid descriptions. The use of passive voice in Sindhi poetry and prose allows for a more nuanced portrayal of characters and situations. Additionally, historical Sindhi texts often employ passive voice to highlight the impact and consequences of certain events. Understanding passive voice in Sindhi will enhance your appreciation and comprehension of Sindhi literary works.
