You can know every word in a sentence and still sound slightly odd, because words come with partners. In English we "make a decision", "take a photo" and "do the dishes", and nobody says "do a decision". Hindi has its own fixed partners, and they rarely match English. In this episode: • Eating and drinking: peena and khaana • Things that come to you: aana and lagna • The mind: dekhna, dena, lena, karna • Housework partners • Switches, doors and gadgets • English-literal traps • Practice • Self-check questions with answers Key Hindi from this episode: बात करना (baat karna) = to talk. मम्मी से बात करो (Mummy se baat karo) = Talk to Mummy. मदद करना (madad karna) = to help, and आराम करना (aaraam karna) = to rest. काम करना (kaam karna) = to work, to do chores. घर का काम (ghar ka kaam) = housework.
