What do we call tweet in hindi....

nancy said...

The Verb 'tweet' refers to the process of making a weak chirping sound by a small bird. The Noun "Tweet" refers to the sound itself.

So, in Hindi it becomes:
Noun
1. चिडिया की 'चीं चीं'

Verb
1. चहचहाना

AND if you want to know about the 'tweet' from 'Twitter', we need to undertake a research on it.

how do we say in english...woh isharo mei mujse sawal kar rahi thi

nancy said...

woh isharo mei mujse sawal kar rahi thi
Thanks Magic Life, 'woh...thi' implies we are talking about a female and so, 'she' is the most appropriate Pronoun here.
'isharo' is used as a Noun and means 'gestures'.
Again, 'sawal' means questions; 'kar rahi thi' implies Past Continuous Tense.
'Mujse' is 'me'.
Here is the English translation, "She was questioning me through her gestures."
Hope you find it helpful Magic Life!

how do we call these sentences in English,
मैं आपको बताना ठीक नहीं समझता।
मुझे हमेशा एक जैसा सपना आ रहा है।
खाना गर्म कर दो।
झाडू लगा दो|

nancy said...

मैं आपको बताना ठीक नहीं समझता।
मैं is 'I', आपको is 'to you' बताना is 'tell' or 'confide' 'ठीक' is 'right' or 'appropriate' नहीं is 'not' समझता is 'think'
So the sentence मैं आपको बताना ठीक नहीं समझता। means "I don't think it is right to confide in you."

मुझे हमेशा एक जैसा सपना आ रहा है।
If it is हमेशा then you can't use रहा है CHECK your sentence

खाना गर्म कर दो। Heat the food

झाडू लगा दो| Broom can be used a Verb too- Please broom the place. Noun- Clean with a broom.

टी.वी. की आवाज़ बढ़ा दो|
मोबाइल/लैपटॉप चार्जिंग पर लगा दो|
अब मुझे सुनाओ (जैसे-question का answer)
पौछा लगा दो|
चप्पल पहन लो, नंगे पाँव मत चलो|
छानना जैसे-आटा etc.
हमारा झंड़ा लहराते हुए कितना अच्छा लगता है|
