Gujarati numbers 1–10

Gujarati personal pronouns

Gujarati distinguishes informal તું from polite/plural તમે, and — like Marathi — splits "we" into inclusive and exclusive forms. Gujarati third-person pronouns stay the same across genders; gender instead shows up in the verb and adjective endings around them.

Gujarati present tense verbs

Gujarati present tense combines a verb-stem ending with a form of છું/છે/છો (chuṁ/chē/chō, "am/is/are"). Conjugated here for કરવું (karvuṁ, "to do").

Gujarati negation — નથી vs. નહીં

Gujarati has two negators: નથી (nathī), a fused negative form of "to be" used for identity, existence and possession, and નહીં (nahīṁ), used to negate other verbs and actions.

Gujarati postpositions

Gujarati attaches short postpositions to the noun, and the possessive postposition changes form to agree with the noun's gender.

Gujarati question words

Gujarati wh-questions use a fixed set of question words; શું (śuṁ) placed at the start of a sentence can also mark a plain yes/no question.

Gujarati sentence structure — building a basic sentence

Gujarati follows Subject-Object-Verb (SOV) order. Adjectives come before the noun, and postpositions come after it.
