- Use 'rahe' for plural subjects: 'वे खा रहे थे' (They were eating).
Overview
raha, rahi, rahe가 결정되고 보조동사 tha, thi, the, thin까지 모두 변해야 합니다.raha라는 단어 자체가 '머무르다'라는 의미의 rahna에서 왔다는 점을 기억하세요.rahna라는 동사가 진행의 의미를 담당하고, hona의 과거형이 시제를 담당합니다.vah kitab padh raha tha와 vah kitab padh rahi thi로 명확히 구분됩니다. 또한, 존칭인 aap을 사용할 때는 상대가 단수일지라도 문법적으로는 복수형인 rahe the를 사용하여 격식을 갖춥니다.- 1Masculine Singular (남성 단수):
vah ja raha tha(그는 가고 있었다) - 2Feminine Singular (여성 단수):
vah ja rahi thi(그녀는 가고 있었다) - 3Masculine Plural (남성 복수/존칭):
ve ja rahe the(그들은 가고 있었다 / 당신은 가고 계셨다) - 4Feminine Plural (여성 복수):
ve ja rahi thin(그녀들은 가고 있었다)
kal nau baje main padh raha tha라고 표현합니다. 이는 한국어의 과거 진행과 완전히 동일합니다.jab main so raha tha, tab phone aya와 같이 사용합니다. 여기서 so raha tha는 배경 상황, phone aya는 완료된 사건을 나타냅니다.un dino main Dilli mein rah raha tha라고 표현하여, 과거의 특정 기간 동안의 지속성을 강조합니다. 한국어의 '~던 중이었다' 또는 '~고 있었다'와 같은 맥락입니다.- 1성별/수 불일치 오류: 한국어에는 성별에 따른 동사 변화가 없기 때문에, 한국인 학습자는
main (여성) kha raha tha와 같이 성별을 섞어서 말하는 실수를 자주 합니다. 이는 L1 간섭으로, 힌디어의 주어-동사 일치 개념을 체화하지 못했을 때 발생합니다.
- 1존칭
aap사용 시 단수형 사용:aap은 상대가 한 명이라도rahe the를 써야 하는데, 한국어의 '당신은 ~하고 있었다'를 직역하여aap ~ raha tha라고 하는 경우가 많습니다. 이는 한국어의 격식 체계와 힌디어의 문법적 존칭 체계가 다르기 때문에 발생하는 혼동입니다.
- 1비음화(Nasalization) 누락: 여성 복수형인
thin(थीं)에서 비음화를 빠뜨려 단수형과 구별하지 못하는 경우가 많습니다. 한국어에는 이런 비음화가 문법적 성별을 결정하지 않으므로 주의가 필요합니다.
raha를 생략하고 main tha라고 하면 안 되나요?main tha는 '나는 있었다(존재했다)'라는 뜻이 됩니다. 진행의 의미를 넣으려면 반드시 raha가 필요합니다.thin의 비음화는 꼭 발음해야 하나요?tum과 aap의 과거 진행형 차이는 무엇인가요?tum은 rahe the를 쓰고, aap도 rahe the를 씁니다. 하지만 tum은 친근한 사이, aap은 존칭이라는 화용론적 차이가 있습니다.Past Continuous Conjugation
