What dhatu roop means in sanskrit?

Answer 1

dhatu means a verb

roop depicts the tense and sometimes request or advice or order associated with the verb

for example:

i go: aham guchhaami -> present tense

i will go: aham gumishyaami -> future tense

i went : aham aguchhaam ->past tense

he should go(advice) -> saha gachhatu

he should go(order) -> saha gachhet

there are 5 roops in sanskrit:

1. latlakar -> present tense

2. lrit lakar -> future tense

3. lang lakar -> past tense

4. lot lakar -> requesting or advicing

5. vidhiling lakar -> ordering or insisting

whether the sentence is simple, perfect, continuous or perfect continuous is totally determined by the context. for example:

i eat

i am eating

i have eaten

i have been eating

all of the above 4 sentences will be said in a single way in sanskrit:

aham khadaami

unlike most of the languages which have only two numbers(singular & plural), sanskrit has three numbers:

ek vachan(singular)

dwi vachan(for two)

bahu vachan(for three or more)

for example:

twam kutra guchhasi -> where are you going

youvam kutra guchhathaha -> where are you two going

youyyam kutra guchhath -> where are all off you(where all refers to more than 2 people) going
