ਭਾਸ਼ਾ ਝਲਕ
ਤੁਹਾਡੀ ਭਾਸ਼ਾ ਵਿੱਚ
Auxiliaries such as ਹੈ, ਸੀ and ਰਿਹਾ-like aspect structures are central to Punjabi verb phrases.
ਉਹ ਕੰਮ ਕਰ ਰਿਹਾ ਹੈ।
He work doing is.
ਸਿੱਖੀ ਜਾ ਰਹੀ ਭਾਸ਼ਾ ਵਿੱਚ
Auxiliaries and light verbs add aspect, completion, modality and nuance.
সে কাজটা করে ফেলেছে।
He/she has done the work completely.
Learners may produce grammatically correct but unnatural verbs without light-verb support.
Same block, different coding
Both languages use this block strongly, but they signal it differently. Focus on form changes, not only meaning.
