| Shakti: लगता है पैर की हड्डी जुड़ने तक मैं ही पागल हो जाऊँगा! (lagTaa hai pair kii haddii judNe Tak main hii paagal ho jaauNgaa!) |
| John: "I think I'll go mad by the time the bones in my leg heal!" |
| Shakti: (SLOW) लगता है पैर की हड्डी जुड़ने तक मैं ही पागल हो जाऊँगा! (lagTaa hai pair kii haddii judNe Tak main hii paagal ho jaauNgaa!) (Regular) लगता है पैर की हड्डी जुड़ने तक मैं ही पागल हो जाऊँगा! (lagTaa hai pair kii haddii judNe Tak main hii paagal ho jaauNgaa!) |
| John: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "Seems like until the leg bone is healed." |
| Shakti: लगता है पैर की हड्डी जुड़ने तक (lagTaa hai pair kii haddii judNe Tak) |
| John: The first two words… |
| Shakti: lagTaa hai |
| John: means “seems like” or “feels like.” You can use this phrase to talk about your thoughts. Then we have… |
| Shakti: pair kii haddii judNe Tak |
| John: which means “until my leg bone rejoins or heals.” The last word… |
| Shakti: Tak |
| John: means “until.” Listen again - "Seems like until the leg bone is healed" is... |
| Shakti: (SLOW) लगता है पैर की हड्डी जुड़ने तक (lagTaa hai pair kii haddii judNe Tak) (REGULAR) लगता है पैर की हड्डी जुड़ने तक (lagTaa hai pair kii haddii judNe Tak) |
| John: Then comes the phrase - "I will go mad." |
| Shakti: मैं ही पागल हो जाऊँगा (main hii paagal ho jaauNgaa) |
| John: This expression means “I will go crazy.” It has the word… |
| Shakti: hii |
| John: which adds emphasis. Listen again - "I will go mad" is... |
| Shakti: (SLOW) मैं ही पागल हो जाऊँगा (main hii paagal ho jaauNgaa) (REGULAR) मैं ही पागल हो जाऊँगा (main hii paagal ho jaauNgaa) |
| John: Altogether, it’s "I think I'll go mad by the time the bones in my leg heal!" |
| Shakti: लगता है पैर की हड्डी जुड़ने तक मैं ही पागल हो जाऊँगा! (lagTaa hai pair kii haddii judNe Tak main hii paagal ho jaauNgaa!) |
