Comment on Causative Verbs by hindilanguage.info

Certainly! I did not obtain this information from any source, such as a Hindi grammar book. It is simply an observation that I made; either the “agent” will be the object of the causative verb, or the agent will be implicit and the causative verb will have a direct object. For instance, उसने अपने बच्चे को मेज़ पर बिठाया (“agent” as the object), मैंने अपने बाल कटवाए (direct object, unspecified agent). The converse can be demonstrated with a single counterexample: the verb खाना is transitive, but it is not causative. Does this make sense? I hope this helps.

Could you please give the source or some reference to the statement: All causative verbs are transitive. However, the converse is not true; all transitive verbs are not causative.
It would be of great help to me.

Thank you.

पहेंके is a typographical error. It should be पहनके (conjunctive participle of पहनना). In Scene 3, Indravadan is saying “I told him, ‘Go before the visa officer wearing a burqa’”. संभालना means “to manage, to handle, to take care of”. In Scene 4, Sahil is telling Monisha something like “Take care of yourself”, “Get a hold of yourself”, etc. He’s telling her to manage her “grief” (she is only upset because she will not be able to shop in the malls in Los Angeles).

In the Scene 3 ‘बुर्क़ा पहेंके जाना’ and in the Scene 4 ‘अपने आप को संभालो’ how are translated?

Hi, Kateryna – हाल ही में = “recently”, विभिन्न सन्दर्भों में = “in various contexts”

नमस्ते, आपके व्यक्त में ‘मैंने हाल ही में’ और ‘विभिन्न सन्दर्भों में’ कैसे अनुवाद कर सकते हैं?

Hi, Alex! It’s great that you’re interested in Hindi. I’ll be glad to help you. I just began a new series of lessons that teaches Devanagari (the script used to write Hindi). You can see the first lesson here: http://hindilanguage.info/lessons/lesson-1-introduction-to-devanagari/ I currently plan to create 10 more lessons about Devanagari. Each lesson will have audio recordings and lots of examples. I’ve also written a very detailed article about Devanagari here: http://hindilanguage.info/devanagari/ This article is very technical, so it might not be as helpful to you as the lessons. I encourage everyone to learn Devanagari. It is a phonetic script, so once you learn it, you will be able to pronounce any word that you read. Try the first lesson, and let me know if it was helpful. I’ll be glad to answer any questions that you have.
