In classroom Hindi/Urdu we are usually taught that the hona copula is compulsory in habitual aspect, otherwise the verb ends up in conditional form. For example: Mein ye kaam kartaa hun / में ये काम करता हूँ / میں یہ کام کرتا ہوں 'I do this work' versus Yedi kaam to hota to mein wo kartaa /...

I recently learned that "Fried food" is "talaa huaa khaanaa". This seemed weird to be because "talnaa" (to fry) is transitive. Generally, I thought perfective participles only made sense with intransitive words (e.g. "Boiled water" is "Ublaa huaa paani", not "ubaalaa huaa paani"). Can you use...

I have a disagreement with a Spanish-speaking friend. In English a common mistake is with verb agreement such as: Correct: A gang of boys is coming. Incorrect: A gang of boys are coming. She says in Spanish you can use either which is strange to me. Una pandilla de chicos viene...
