Hindi Verbs

Hindi verbs are inflected with respect to:

* gender of the subject (masculine, feminine)
* number of the subject (singular, plural)
* tense (present, past, future)
* action (perfect, imperfect, continuous)
* degree of respect (intimate, familiar, respect)

Verbs are referred to in their infinitive noun form which ends in "na".

Examples:
bolna = to speak
likhna = to write
lena = to take
ana = to come

The stem of a verb is the infinitive form minus the na ending.

Examples:
bol
likh
le
a

Present tense of hona (to be):

main hun - I am
tu hai - you are (intimate)
yah hai - this, he, she, it is
vah hai - that, he, she, it is
ham hain - we are
tum ho - you are (familiar)
ap hain - you are (respect)
ye hain - these, they are
ve hain - those, they are
