"I will stay for three months and try to understand the work process here and learn about the projects so that we can understand them better back at the headquarters, and also apply similar system to other sites."

In this lesson you'll learn how to express reasons for doing something using Taakii. You can explain specific goals and how they relate to the action taken.

Taakii

To form this phrase we use some specific keywords, usually something like:

...Takii ham VERB kar Saken.. ("...so that we can VERB").

Takii means "so that" and the kar Saken form of verb conjugation means "can do" or "will be able to do." Combining these, we can make a sentence such as "We will practice every day so that we can win the competition."

In Hindi, this is  हम रोज़ रियाज़ करेंगे ताकि हम प्रतियोगिता जीत सकें ।  (ham roz riyaaz kareNge Taakii ham praTiyogiTaa jiiT Saken.)

Tenses

The sentence can be formed with various verb tenses in the first clause, but the last clause that follows Taakii is always in the subjunctive mood, such as "do" or "eat," which can be one of the following forms depending on the speaker and subject (shown here with the verb karNaa meaning "to do"):

• "I do" - singular, first person: karuun
• "You do" - singular/plural, second person: karo
• "He/She does" - singular, third person: kare
• "We/They do" - plural first/third person: karen

For example:

1. मैं ने पढ़ाई की ताकि मैं परीक्षा में अच्छे अंक लाऊँ ।
   main Ne parhaaii kii Taakii main pariiksaa mein acche aNk Laauun.
   "I studied so that I could get good marks on the exam."
2. हम जल्दी आ गये ताकि आपसे मिल सकें।
   ham jaLDii aa gaye Taaki aapaSe miL Saken.
   "We came back quickly so that we could meet with you."
3. मैं ने पढ़कर सुनाया ताकि तुम जान सको ।
   main Ne parhkar SuNaayaa Taaki Tum jaaN Sako.
   "I read it out so that you would know about it."

Compound Verbs

This applies to any verb used in the sentence, if they are in the clause following Taakii. If there are verb compounds, then this will apply to the final verb in the compound. For example, with the verb compound "Can do"—the order is reverse in Hindi—karNaa ("to do") + SakNaa ("Can"). These are the conjugated forms:

• "I can do" - singular, first person: kar Sakuun
• "You can do" - singular/plural, second person: kar Sako
• "He/She can do" - singular, third person: kar Sake
• "We/They can do" - plural first/third person: kar Saken

For example:

1. मैं ने गिटार बजाना सीखा ताकि मैं गण खुद लिख सकूँ ।
   main Ne gitaar bajaaNaa Siikhaa Taakii main gaaNaa khuD Likh     Sakuun.
   "I learned to play the guitar so that I could write my own music."
2. तुम्हे जलदी निकलना चाहिए ताकि तुम बस पकड़ सको ।
   Tumhe jaLDii NikaLNaa caahiye Taaki Tum baS pakad Sako..
   "You should leave quickly so that you can catch the bus."
3. हमने पहले टिकट बुक किया ताकि हम सब साथ में बैठ सकें ।
4. hamNe pahLe tikat buk kiye Taaki ham Sab SaaTH mein baith Saken.
   "We booked tickets early so that we could all sit together."

If there are multiple verbs after ताकि Taakii, then the tense and conjugation will apply to each verb individually. For example, if you wanted to say "...so that she sees it and remembers." the verbs for "to see" - देखना DekhNaa, and "to remember" - याद करना yaaD karNaa, will be in the present singular third person → देखे Dekhe and याद करे yaaD kare.

"...so that she sees it and remembers." is ...ताकि वह देखे और याद करे Taakii vah Dekhe aur yaaD kare.

Taaki Meaning Purpose

Taaki explains reasoning and planning. That is why the verb that follows Taaki is either in the present perfect tense or in the Can-Do form. It is used in cases where one action is required for the next action.

Formation:

●      [Action] + taaki + goal

For example: ["I went to the market"] + taaki + ["I can take a cab from there"].

=> [मैं बाज़ार गया] +taaki + [वहां से टैक्सी ले सकूँ।]

1. मैं बाज़ार गया ताकि वहाँ से टैक्सी ले सकूँ।
   "I went to the market so that I can take a cab from there."

For example:

1. इसे दूर कहीं फेंक आते हैं ताकि कभी कोई ढूंढ न पाए।
   iSe Duur kahiin phenk aaTe hain Taaki kabhii koii dhuundh Na paaye.
   "Let's go and dump this somewhere far away so that nobody comes across it."
2. मैं आज काम पर नहीं गया ताकि मैं अपने भाई को एयरपोर्ट लेने जा सकूँ।
   main aaj kaam par Nahiin gayaa Taaki mein apNe bhaaii ko eyarport LeNe jaa Sakuun.
   "I didn't go in to work today so that I can go to the airport to pick my brother up."

सैर कराना "to take someone around, to show someone around"

Sair is a "trip," a "walk around," or a "tour." It is a noun that can be used for a short tour of a single home and also a long tour of a city or region. The mode of transport is unspecified. KaraaNaa is a verb—the causative form of karNaa which means "to do." Therefore karaaNaa means "to get done." Thus Sair karaaNaa is a verb phrase that means "to give a tour" or "to show someone around."

This can be used for anything involving showing someone around a place, from a small home or office to a larger region. While this can be used in any situation, it commonly describes a tour given by walking around.

For example:

1. मामाजी ने मुझे लखनऊ की सैर करायी।
   maamaajii Ne mujhe LakhNauu kii Sair karaayii.
   "Uncle showed me around Lucknow."

में रूचि होना "to be interested in"

Ruci is a noun which means "interest." HoNaa is a verb that means "to be," and together mein ruci hoNaa means "to have an interest" or "be interested in."

This phrase is used for talking about things you are interested in, and is one level higher than saying "I like" or "I enjoy." Thus mein ruci hoNaa is more proper or sophisticated than saying paSaND hoNaa ("to like") or acchaa LagNaa ("to like"). The phrase is used with a noun subject and not a verb. For example, we would say mujhe SaNgiiT mein rucii hai, which means "I have an interest in music," rather than mujhe gaaNe mein ruci hai, "I have an interest in singing."

For example:

1. क्या आप को खेल में रूचि है?
   kyaa aap ko kheL mein rucii hai?
   "Are you interested in sports?"

Mumbai City

Mumbai is one of the biggest metropolitan centres in India. It draws people from the world over, and has a unique and interesting character. It is the capital city of the western state of Maharashtra, and lies on the Arabian sea coast. The city is home to migrants from all over India, has various diverse populations, and in addition boasts the largest film industry in the world—the Hindi film industry, colloquially known as "Bollywood." This city has the largest economy among cities in Asia and draws thousands of new migrants daily who come to Mumbai to try their luck. Because of this, Mumbai is often called The City of Dreams. Previously, the city was known by its colonial name "Bombay," but in 1996 it was renamed Mumbai.
