Just like me there may be so many members here who dont know English so well. Sometime we get confused with some English sentences, proverbs, phrases, expressions, slang words etc. Sometime we are unable to express our thoughts in English or cant construct the sentence accordingly due to lack of knowledge.
So kindly help us in this regard. We will post our English language problems and confusions and the knowledgable members are requested to guide us. For example, I cant translate this sentence in English, which is: "Main ne pyaase ko paani pilaaya." You can translate it as: "I made a thirsty person drink water", but I dont want "made drink", I want the exact word for Pilaaya. Just like : " Main ne Bhooke ko khaana khilaya" and you can translate it as: " I fed a hungry person", and not " I made a hungry person eat the food." Also please explain, what is the difference between: " Can you get me your address please?" and "Could you get me your address please?". Isn't could is past tense of can? What do you mean by "to take something for granted." In Hindi how will you translate it: "He has taken me for granted." Is there any Hindi words for "Infrastructure, breakthrough, innovative?" Is "infidel" a correct word for "Bewafa?" Abhi ke liye bas itna hi..... Ummeed hai aap jawab denge. Shukriya.
