Forms of the Hindi verb
Can someone explain the difference between past simple (e.g. "main bola") and present perfect (e.g. "main bola hoon")? Do these tenses basically correspond to the English ones (like "I said" vs "I have said")? What are the major restrictions?

Η και Υ στη Κοινή Ελληνική
Χαίρετε!
Μαθαίνω Κοινή Ελληνική, εχω μια ερώτηση για προφορά. Διαβάζω το Εβαγγέλιο στο Βυζάντιο στυλ: αι=[ε], ει, η, υ=[ι] κτλ. Αλλά υπάρχουν προβλήματα: ἡμεῖς (εμείς) συμπίπτει με ὑμεῖς (εσείς). Οποιοσδήποτε ξέρει τι να κάνω? Πώς τους διαβάζουν στη ορθόδοξη εκκλησία?
Ευχαριστώ!

Typing niqquds
How do I type niqquds? A typical Windows keyboard doesn't allow this luxury, except if one would like to spend hours of going into Insert>Symbol>... Even then, the niqquds don't appear under certain characters such as 'beth' or 'shin'.
What about letters with dagesh?
And how do I put the question mark: this way (?) or this way (؟) like in Arabic?

Presenting a gift to a friend
When you present a gift to your friend how do you write it in Farsi? Something like "From [such and such] to [such and such] with love/for a long memory". Maybe you have other formulae appropriate to your culture?

Long words analysis puzzle
I'm trying to analyse some long words in Persian, such as: 1) 'mibin-am-et' as 'will see-I-you' (See you later); 2) 'âshegh-et-am' as 'love-you-I' (I love you). Please correct me if this is wrong. I'm confused about the suffixes '-am' and '-et' swapping around: in one word '-am' comes first, in the other '-et' takes its place. What is the problem here?

Pronoun-verb agreement
In Hindi schools they teach you should say "Aap kaise hain?" but in spoken language I often hear (at least in NW India): "Aap kaise ho?" What's the problem here? Which one should I use? Does it depend on the age of an addressee?
