Review Summary

  • Verb Stem + -ia (masc. sing) / -i (fem. sing) / -e (masc. plural)

よくある間違い

In Punjabi, the verb must agree with the gender of the object (roti is feminine). Always check the object's gender.

Wrong: ਮੈਂ ਖਾਧਾ (Me khadha) [when referring to a feminine object like 'roti']
正解: ਮੈਂ ਰੋਟੀ ਖਾਧੀ (Main roti khadhi)

Some common verbs like 'to go' (jana) have irregular forms in the past tense. Memorize these exceptions.

Wrong: ਮੈਂ ਜਾਇਆ (Main jaia)
正解: ਮੈਂ ਗਿਆ (Main gaya)

Using habitual endings instead of past endings. Ensure you use the specific past tense suffix.

Wrong: ਕੱਲ੍ਹ ਮੈਂ ਖਾਂਦਾ (Kal main khanda)
正解: ਕੱਲ੍ਹ ਮੈਂ ਖਾਧਾ (Kal main khadha)

Fill in the blank with the correct past tense form of 'likhna' (to write).

よくある質問 (2)

It is used for completed actions, formed by adding endings like -ia, -e, -i, and -iaa to the verb stem. For example, 'likhna' (to write) becomes 'likhia' (wrote).
Use '-ia' for masculine singular subjects (or objects with 'ne') and '-i' for feminine singular. For example, 'munda gia' (boy went) vs 'kuri gai' (girl went).
