Example Translation

Translating Hindi to English

Hindi is subject-object-verb with postpositions following the noun, so English translation means reversing both patterns rather than substituting words. The three levels of you - आप, तुम, तू - all collapse into English you, and the respect or intimacy the original carried disappears unless it is rebuilt in the wording. Hindi verbs agree with gender, so the source often states the speaker's or subject's gender in a way English will not carry. Compound verbs pair a main verb with a light verb that adds nuance - suddenness, completion, doing something for another's benefit - which English expresses with adverbs if at all. Real-world Hindi mixes English words freely, so the input is often genuinely bilingual.
