Grammar & sentence building

Assumes near-zero prior knowledge. Doabi-first.

This is a Roman-script Doabi Punjabi crash course + dictionary you can read offline. It’s written for near-zero prior knowledge and optimized for spoken fluency.

Doabi priorities: use aa/haan/han (not hai), vich (not mein), nu (not ko), da/di/de (not ka/ki/ke), te (not aur), tussi (not aap).

1) Sound + reading basics (Roman)

Aa vs a: aa is usually a long “aa” (like “father”).
H aspiration: gh, kh, chh, jh, dh, bh are “breathy” versions of g/k/ch/j/d/b.
Retroflex: Punjabi has “hard” t/d sounds (tongue curls back) sometimes written as ṭ/ḍ. In this guide we keep it simple and use plain t/d.
Nasal: You’ll hear nasalization a lot (especially before n/m sounds). Don’t overthink it early.

2) Sentence skeleton (the 80/20)

A) “X is Y”

Mera naam Ishan aa.
Eh changa aa.

Use aa for “is/are” style statements.

B) “I am …”

Main theek haan.
Main Ishan haan.

haan = “I am”.

C) “They/We are …”

Assi theek han.
Oh theek han.

han = “we/they are”.

D) Postpositions (not prepositions)

Ghar vich.
Mez utte.
Mainu.

They come after the noun.

3) Core Doabi grammar rules

Copula (aa/haan/han)

aa: “is/are” for statements — Mera ghar vadda aa.
haan: “I am” — Main theek haan.
han: “we/they are” — Assi ready han.
Avoid Hindi/Urdu copulas: hai/hain/hoon.

Postpositions you will use every day

vich = in/inside — kamray vich
utte = on/top — mez utte
nu = to/for — mainu, ohnu
toh = from — New York toh
naal = with — mere naal
da/di/de = of (possessive) — mere bapu da naam

Gender (practical version)

Punjabi has masculine/feminine nouns. Early on, focus on the most visible places it matters: mera/meri (my), tera/teri (your), and some adjective endings.

Mera veer (brother, masc) vs Meri pen (sister, fem)
Sohna munda (handsome boy) vs Sohni kudi (beautiful girl)

4) Tenses (a usable roadmap)

Present habitual (“I do … regularly”)

Main roz kaam karda haan. (male)
Main roz kaam kardi haan. (female)

Present progressive (“I am doing … right now”)

Main hun kha reha haan. (male)
Main hun kha rahi haan. (female)

You will hear reha/rahi a lot in spoken Punjabi.

Past (the big one): ergative ne

In Punjabi past tense, transitive verbs often use ne: Main ne roti khaadhi. Intransitive verbs usually do not: Main ghar gaya.

Future

Main kal jaaunga. (male)
Main kal jaaungi. (female)
Assi milange.

5) Questions + negation

Question words

ki (what)
kithe (where)
kadon (when)
kyun (why)
kiddan/kiven (how)
kaun (who)

Negation

nahi

Usually place nahi before the verb phrase.

Fast swaps: statement → negative → question

Use the same base sentence

Oh ghar vich aa.
Oh ghar vich nahi aa.
Oh kithe aa?

Progressive version

Main kha reha haan.
Main nahi kha reha haan.
Tussi ki kha rahe o?

6) A 30-min/day plan (10–12 months)

10 min: read today’s 15–20 words (say them out loud).
10 min: make 5 sentences using the words (write or speak).
10 min: do voice practice (JJ) + get corrected.

You’ll get fluent by stacking small reps: vocabulary + sentence building + speaking correction.

7) Tense change rules (the weak-point fixer)

If tense is your weak point, memorize this order: Subject → Object/phrase → Verb chunk → Copula. Most mistakes happen when the verb chunk and copula mismatch.

Present Habitual (I do)

Main kaam karda haan. (male)
Main kaam kardi haan. (female)
Assi kaam karde han.

-da/-di/-de marks habitual action.
Copula still follows person/number: haan / han / aa.

Present Progressive (I am doing)

Main kha reha haan. (male)
Main kha rahi haan. (female)
Oh kha reha aa. / Oh kha rahi aa.

Progressive chunk: reha/rahi/rehe.
Then add copula: haan/aa/han.

Simple Past (done action)

Main ghar gaya. (male)
Main ghar gayi. (female)
Main ne roti khaadhi. (ergative with transitive verb)

Movement verbs often without ne: gaya/gayi.
Transitive past often uses ne: Main ne ... kitta/kiti.

Future

Main jaaunga. (male)
Main jaaungi. (female)
Assi jaavange.

Future endings: -aunga / -aungi / -ange (common Roman spellings vary slightly).

8) Word-shape changes you must notice

Gender agreement (practical)

Mera veer changa aa.
Meri pen changi aa.
Oh sohni lagdi aa. / Oh sohna lagda aa.

Possessives

da/di/de follows the possessed noun’s gender/number pattern in everyday speech.
Anchor phrases: mere bapu da, meri pen di, mere dost de.

Object marker nu

Mainu paani chaida aa.
Ohnu das.
Saanu samjha.

Negation placement

Main nahi jaa reha.
Mainu eh pasand nahi.
Oh aj nahi aaya.

Question intonation + structure

Punjabi usually keeps normal order and relies on question words + tone.
Tussi kithe rehnde o? (not English-style inversion).

9) Tense drills you can do on the plane

Drill A: one verb, four tenses

karna
Main karda haan.
Main kar reha haan.
Main ne kitta.
Main karanga.

Drill B: switch male/female

Main gaya. → Main gayi.
Main karda haan. → Main kardi haan.
Main reha haan. → Main rahi haan.

Drill C: add object + postposition

Main roti kha reha haan.
Main kamray vich baitha haan.
Main mez utte phone rakhya.

Drill D: convert statements to questions

Tussi aunde o.
→ Tussi kadon aunde o?

Oh ghar vich aa.
→ Oh kithe aa?

Do these four drills daily and your tense errors will drop fast.

10) Word-shape transformations by tense (the pattern finder)

Use this “switchboard”. When you change tense, you usually change only ONE chunk (plus copula).

Habitual → Progressive

Main roz kaam karda haan.
→ Main hun kaam kar reha haan.

Main roz khaana khanda haan.
→ Main hun khaana kha reha haan.

Habitual uses -da/-di + haan/han. Progressive uses reha/rahi + haan/aa/han.

Present → Past (movement vs actions)

Main bazaar jaa reha haan.
→ Main bazaar gaya. (movement; often no ne)

Main roti kha reha haan.
→ Main ne roti khaadhi. (transitive; often ne + agreement)

Movement verbs often drop ne. Transitive past often keeps ne.

Copula quick switch: aa vs haan vs han

Sentence type:
1) Statement (X is Y) → aa
Eh ghar vadda aa.

2) I am → haan
Main theek haan.

3) We/They are → han
Assi ready han.

If you accidentally use Hindi/Urdu copulas (hai/hain/hoon), JJ will correct you immediately.

11) Sentence structure recipes (copy these, then customize)

Recipe A: Habitual

Subject + (noun/verb phrase) + -da/-di + haan/han
Main roz padhai karda haan. (male)
Main roz padhai kardi haan. (female)
Assi roz langar karde han.

Recipe B: Progressive (right now)

Subject + Verb + reha/rahi + haan/aa/han
Main hun roti kha reha haan.
Main hun roti kha rahi haan.
Oh hun uth reha aa / Oh hun uth rahi aa.

Recipe C: Past movement

Subject + Verb (gaya/gayi) + (place)
Main kal London gaya.
Main kal London gayi.
Ohna kal pind gaye. (plural; keep it natural)

Recipe D: Past action (transitive)

Subject + ne + object + Verb (khaadhi/kiti/kitta)

Main ne kitaab parhi.
Ohna ne kaam kitta.

Recipe E: Negative frame

How to use this on a 10-hour flight

A simple method that actually sticks.

Skim grammar once (30–45 min). Don’t try to memorize — just get the map.
Do several full passes through the deck ({n_words} cards). For each entry: say the word → say the sentence → say the translation.
Extra: entries 801–{n_words} (JJ Lesson 22). Same “glue words” as the tutor site — adverbs, postpositions, particles you hear in songs and fast speech. Shuffle the flash cards until these show up, or jump to the dictionary and search 801) through {n_words}).
Mark 50 “must-own” words. Put a star next to words you need daily (family, food, time, directions).
Write 20 original sentences. Reuse the postpositions: vich, nu, toh, naal, utte.
Read the slang section once. This is mostly for recognition + avoiding mistakes with elders.

If you can comfortably produce 50 original sentences using words from the dictionary, you’re already ahead of most heritage learners.
