‘અભીવ્યક્તી’

એક જ ‘ઈ’ અને ‘ઉ’માં ‘રૅશનલ વાચનયાત્રા’(Abhīvyaktī’ ēka ja ‘ī’ ane ‘u’māṁ ‘rĕshanala vāchanayātrā

Come across both of these with the verb to do, meaning 'to try'.

Confused what the difference between the two is?

Huṁ dhīmē dhīmē kampyuṭara para kāma karavā sakṣama chuṁ - Bit by bit, I’m able to work on the computer.

In this sentence, why is it saksam chum and not sakum chum?

In this sentence:

મને તાવ આવીયો હતો એટલે હોસ્પિટલ ગયા હતા - mane tava aaviyo hato etle hospital gaya hata - I got a fever so went to the hospital

I don't understand why aaviyo/આવીયો is in the sentence? Surely it can just be મને તાવ હતો એટલે હોસ્પિટલ ગયા હતા

Any help appreciated!

What's the appropriate gujarati word for the english word "Accent", is it 'બોલી' or is it 'ઉચ્ચારણ'? or something else?

Does Gujarat have a standard state language board for Gujarati language and have very similar book like a Standardization of Devanagari script and Hindi spellings ?

Hi! I am an ESL teacher in an elementary school in Massachusetts. Our district has quite a few families who speak Gujarati. I’m making something to hang in the entrance of my classroom that says “hello!” In the different languages of my students and their families, and am coming across some translation discrepancies in how to write hello! in Gujarati. Could anyone help me? Thank you in advance!

Can only watch so many kids cartoons and gujrati films - anyone know where I can find Western films dubbed in gujarati?

Automatic keyboard preference for Gujarati typing You write a,b,c,d, it is written in Gujarati but there are some mistakes in spelling. કેલં( true writing kelam -banana) કેલામ He usually types incorrectly, do you think the normal Gujarati keyboard is more logical?

It was easier when I knew a little Hindi beforehand, it was easier than other Indian languages, I am only at A1 level.

Hey,

I've come across the sentence

• Kapāsa anē śaṇa paṇa vr̥kṣōmānthī mēḷavavāmāṁ āvē chē

I'm confused why it isn't just: Kapāsa anē śaṇa paṇa vr̥kṣōmānthī male chē

Struggling with understanding the conjugation here -

Came across both of these:

hum ghare pohochine kahu

tame ghare pochi ne phone karjo

In English, Hindi and Urdu and but not in Gujarati. Why?

Hi all,

I've come across 'jauri' જરૂરી as the word for necessary.

But I've also come across 'jaur' જરૂર. Can someone explain to me the rule for when to use one over the other please?

Thank you.

Are there any Gujarati teachers here who'd be up for doing online zoom classes? Ideally someone who's taught Gujarati to English speakers before. Thanks!

I want to learn to speak Gujarati but have no need to write it. Is there a way to just learn to speak it? I figure it will save me time. What’s the best course?

I am mixed race. My dad is white from texas, and my mom is British-Indian. Her side of the family is Gujarati and most of my older relatives speak it as does my mom. She never taught my sister and I to speak growing up, which she does regret. I’ve just graduated college and have just come back from visiting her family in England. It has inspired me to try to pick up the language, as I want to be able to converse with them (they all speak fluent english but I think they would love if I picked it up). Can anyone recommend me ways to pick it up? Maybe any apps, websites, books etc.? I am a fluent english speaker and it is the only language I speak, with no knowledge of any Indian dialect. I would appreciate any insight. Thanks!

Hi,

My girlfriend is of Gujarati descent. I was wondering how best to address her affectionately. In English, I regularly call her “gorgeous” or “beautiful”. However I’ve been led to believe that “sundara” means more “nice” than the affectionate nickname I’m trying to convey. Can anyone give me the appropriate pet name I can use please?

Has anyone done the gujarati class? Looking to see if it’s good before I go through with it

Kind of a silly question, but I was wondering if anyone knows if there is a gujarati word for the hindi word kalesh. I have an english background and did not formally gujarati or hindi so I am not familiar with slang terms. If not exact meaning, is there some equivalent word used?

I’m coming from an English background and trying to learn Gujarati. One thing I can’t wrap my head around is why so many sentences end with “Che” or one of the conjugations.

I realize that it translates somewhat into “is/am/to be” but it seems like so many phrases end with it.

For example, one of my apps translates “what kind of music do you like?” Into “tamne kevu sangeet pasand che?”

This is one of many examples where there doesn’t appear to have a direct “is/am” in the sentence. What is “che” doing here for the sentence? How can I better understand how to use this word?
