| Survival Phrases lesson 57 |
| How to say, "I like it" or "I don’t like it" in Hindi. |
| In this lesson, we'll introduce you to a phrase you will use countless times on your journey! For everyone out there who loves Indian food, this word will ensure you keep getting more of it! |
| In Hindi, "I like it" is mujhe yah pasanD hai. |
| mujhe yah pasanD hai. |
| Let's break it down by syllable: mujhe yah pasanD hai. |
| Now, let's hear it once again: mujhe yah pasanD hai. |
| The first word mujhe, means, "I." |
| mujhe |
| mujhe. |
| Next, we have yah, which in English is "it" or "this." |
| Next is pasanD or "like." |
| pasanD |
| pasanD |
| And then, we have hai, which means "is." |
| To recap here, we have mujhe yah pasanD hai. Which means, "I like it." |
| If you want to say that you really like something, then you can use this phrase. |
| In Hindi, "I really like it," is mujhe yah vasTav me pasanD hai. |
| mujhe yah vasTav me pasanD hai |
| Let's break it down by syllable: is mujhe yah vasTav me pasanD hai |
| Now, let's hear it once again: is mujhe yah vasTav me pasanD hai |
| This phrase is essentially the same as the previous one. There are just two additional words added, and those are vasTav me. |
| vasTav means "reality." |
| vasTav |
| vasTav |
| And me means "in." |
| me |
| So, together we have, vasTav me, which means "in reality." |
| Let's hear the whole phrase again: mujhe yah vasTav me pasanD hai, which means "I really like it." |
| Now, if you really, really like something, we can use the adverb bahuT. |
| bahuT. |
| Let's break down this word and hear it once again: bahuT. |
| bahuT |
| We say, mujhe yah bahuT pasanD hai, which means, "I like it very much." |
| Let's break it down by syllable and hear it once again: mujhe yah bahuT pasanD hai. |
| mujhe yah bahuT pasanD hai |
| In the event that you don't like something, "I don't like it," is mujhe yah pasanD nahi hai. |
| mujhe yah pasanD nahi hai. |
| Let's break it down by syllable: mujhe yah pasanD nahi hai. |
| Now, let's hear it once again: mujhe yah pasanD nahi hai. |
| The only word added is nahi, meaning "no" or "not." |
| Let's hear it once again: nahi. |
| nahi |
| And then, we have the phrase we just covered meaning, "I like it," mujhe yah pasanD hai. |
| mujhe yah pasanD hai. |
| To build the negative form, you just need to add nahi after pasanD, and you will have, mujhe yah pasanD nahi hai. |
