Grammar Rule in 30 Seconds
Use 'mat' (मत) to give negative commands or prohibitions, placing it directly before the verb.
- Use 'mat' for direct prohibitions: 'Wahan mat jao' (Don't go there).
- Use 'mat' with the verb root for informal commands: 'Mat khao' (Don't eat).
- Use 'mat' with the polite form for formal requests: 'Aap mat jaiye' (Please don't go).
Overview
nahin (नहीं) 正是如此——听起来像是陈述事实，而不是命令。要真正告诉某人*停止*或*不要*做某事，你需要这个强力助词：mat (मत)。它是印地语句子的红灯。Word Order Rules
mat 就像保镖一样——它严格地站在动词之前。- 例子:
Wahan mat jao(别去那里)。 - 例子:
Meri photo mat khincho(别拍我的照片)。
How This Grammar Works
mat 想象成一个开关，将动词从“动作发生”切换到“动作禁止”。它专门用于祈使语气 (命令和请求)。你不能将它用于过去时 (“我没去”) 或将来陈述 (“我不会去”)。
