We are going to learn how to conjugate “to eat” in present tense in Hindi. In Hindi “to eat” is khaana.
What Does Conjugation Mean?
Conjugation means when the ending of a verb is changed. In this case the verb is changed to communicate who is doing the action or to describe someone doing an action.
The verb ending will change based on whether a male or female is talking about him/her self as in “I eat”. Or when addressing someone by saying, “you eat” or describing someone or some people by saying “he dances, she eats, or they eat”. And what about we as in “we eat” – yep there’s a different conjugation for that too.
What Does Present Tense Mean?
What does present tense mean? It means an action this happening now or is habitually performed. Ok, the first part seems simple enough. The present is an action happening now…in the present.
But what’s an action that’s habitually performed? Well for example, “I read books.” Or “I eat chocolate every day.” Maybe you are not reading or eating chocolate right now, but it’s something that is part of your life – a habit.
In this video you will learn the subject pronouns, the conjugations for each subject pronoun as well as the ending of the sentence.
Those are the three elements that make up a very basic conjugated sentence in Hindi, in present tense.

I learned Hindi at home while growing up in southern California. My parents were amongst the first Indian and South Asian immigrants to this country and I appreciated their efforts and those of the Uncles and Aunty’s that worked hard to foster cultural and religious awareness for us first generation American-born desi kids. Especially when they themselves were establishing their lives in a new country.
And now I’m in a position to continue their work. Language connects people. And for the children I teach I’m helping them connect to their grandparents and other loved ones.
