Formation of the present tense[edit]
The present tense in Gujarati is for most verbs formed by removing the infinitive ending વું vũ, placing a grammatical person marker in its place, and placing the appropriate present-tense form of the verb to be afterwards.
The formula thus follows the lines of:
- [verb stem + personal marker] [form of to be]
For example, for the first person:
- [kar + ũ] [chhũ]
Or in full,
- Hũ e karũ chhũ. (હું એ કરું છું.)
- I it doing am. ('I am doing it.')
The verb to be (હોવું hovũ)[edit]
The verb હોવું is irregular both in its stem (છ chh as opposed to હો ho) and in that it does not take an auxiliary (as it is itself the auxiliary used by all other verbs). Because it is used to conjugate all other verbs, it is essential to know all the following forms.
The forms shown below are the 'forms of to be' mentioned above that are used to form the present tense.
Pronoun (En) | Pronoun (Guj) | Verb form |
---|---|---|
I | હું hũ | છું chhũ |
you | તું tũ | છે chhe |
he/she/it | એ e | છે chhe |
we | અમે ame | છીએ chhiie |
you | તમે tame | છો chho |
they | એ e | છે chhe |
Present tense endings[edit]
These are the 'personal markers' mentioned above that are used to form the present tense.
Pronoun | Personal marker |
---|---|
હું hũ | ઉં ũ |
તું tũ | એ e |
એ e | એ e |
અમે ame | ઈએ iie |
તમે tame | ઓ o |
એ e | એ e |
Example: a regular verb, કરવું karvũ[edit]
The verb stem is derived by removing -vũ:
- કરવું karvũ → કર kar
Pronoun | Verb form | Form of to be |
---|---|---|
હું hũ | કરું karũ | છું chhũ |
તું tũ | કરે kare | છે chhe |
એ e | કરે kare | છે chhe |
અમે ame | કરીએ kariie | છીએ chhiie |
તમે tame | કરો karo | છો chho |
એ e | કરે kare | છે chhe |
Thus we can make such sentences as:
- Hũ (e) karu chhũ. I am doing (it).
- Apņe (kaam) kariie chhiie. We are doing (work).
- Tũ (shũ) kare chhe ? (What) are you doing?
Negative present tense[edit]
Shubhaasheet With Gujarati Meaning
The negative present tense is formed completely differently from the positive present tense. It follows the pattern:
- [negative marker] [verb stem + form of tũ]
Note:
- The negative marker can be any one of the following: નથી nathii, ન na, નહિ nahi.
- The form of the suffix તું tũ must agree in gender and number with the agent of the verb (thing performing the action).
For example, if Mayur (a man's name) says, 'I am not doing work,' this is:
- [nathii] [kar + to]
- Hũ (kaam) nathii karto. I am not doing (work).
