Part 1: Explanation
Often you will need to use a sentence in Past tense when you want to state some past incident.
This has a general format. We can divide them in two parts one with Ne/ format and
another one is without that.
You can use the Ne/ format with transitive verbs .Transitive verbs are those verbs that
indicate something is being done to something else. For example in the sentence "I ate"
something got ate.IN the sentence "I said" something got said.And we add after the subject
who is doing a something. For example:-
Ravi saw a dream.

Here we are adding after Ravi as he is the subject and did something.

with intransitive verbs. Intransitive verbs do their action to the subject of the sentence. For
example "I went." it is the subject "I' that "went, not something else.

Honorifics or Addressing People - (Sambodhan)
September 13, 2009
20090913-Honorifics-1.mp3
The way of addressing a person varies with the age and position.
(Aap) is used for addressing elders, lesser known people and in formal instances. It is used
for respectfully addressing a singular person, and as a second person plural pronoun. The most
formal is "aap" and is the safest to use in all situations. It can be used in situations that range
from deeply respectful to the merely businesslike.
(Tu) and (Tum) are used for addressing younger people and in informal and intimate
instances. (Tum) is slightly formal, in the sense, it is used addressing people of your age who
may not be very close to you. (Tu) is highly informal and is used while addressing very close
friends or someone of your age or younger to you or when there is utmost
familiarity/friendship/intimacy.
Examples:
You listen (formal)

Aap suniye
You sit here(formal)

Aap yahan baitiye
You listen (slightly informal)

Tum suno
You sit here(slightly informal)

Tum yahan baitho
You listen (very informal)

Tu sun
You sit here(very informal)

Tu yahan baith


(Bhaiya) or (Bhai sahab) actually means elder brother. But is also used to
address a male member who is lesser known or unknown to you and may be slightly older.
Likewise, || (didi) or (bahanji) is used to address an older female member who is
lesser known or unknown. These honorifics are used by both male and female alike.
Examples:
Brother, can you move
, ?
Bhaiya, aap jara hatenge?
aside?
Brother, Thank you very
much!
,

H!
Bhai sahab, aapka bahut
sukriya!
Sister, did you see my
child?
||,
?
Didi, aapne mere bachche ko
dekha?

(Ji) is suffixed after the name or position title for sufficiently older people or respectable
persons. Baba, or Swami or Swamiji are honorifics denoting great respect, usually denoting
spiritual mastery. Pandit/Panditji is an honorific title given to a scholar, a teacher, religion,
music or philosophy. Guru/Guruji is widely used with the general meaning of teacher. It also
refers to a person who has authority because of his or her perceived secular knowledge or skills.
Mahatma means Great Soul. The term is also used to refer to liberated souls or professionals.
Sahib is a term of respect, meaning Sir, master or lord. Sahiba is the authentic form address to
be used for a female.
Examples:
Mahatma Gandhi, Gandhiji, Pandit Ravi Shankar, Swami Vivekananda , Khan Sahib, Rani
Sahiba, Nair Sahab, Ramji, Laxmiji, and so on.
