2� Setting up the time and place

3� Asking others to join an activity or do an activity together

1� The verbs ‫( دﯾﮑﻬﻨﺎ‬daikhna) and ‫( ﻣﻠﻨﺎ‬milna)

The verb daikhna ‫ دﯾﮑﻬﻨﺎ‬means "to see" or "to watch�" If you are going to watch a
masculine thing or person, then ‫( دﯾﮑﻬﻨﺎ‬daikhna) is used� If it's feminine, then ‫دﯾﮑﻬﻨﯽ‬
(daikhni) is used� If it's plural, then �‫ ( دﯾﮑﻬﻨ‬daikhnay) is used�

Milna ‫ ﻣﻠﻨﺎ‬is also a verb and means "to meet" or "to find�" When the word is used
with the meaning of "to meet," then the same word is used for masculine and
feminine� For plural and polite form, it is �‫ ( ﻣﻠﻨ‬milnay). When the word is used to
mean "to find," then it changes with masculine and feminine objects� For
masculine objects, it is ‫ ( ﻣﻠﻨﺎ‬milna), while for feminine objects it is ‫ ( ﻣﻠﻨﯽ‬milni).
