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.
