3.4.2.7. Compound Verbs
Compound verbs in Hindi are combination of Verb 1 + Verb 2 (+
inflections). Whereas Verb 1 (also called main verb) expresses
general meaning and occurs in its stem form, verb 2, which is called
an explicator/operator, takes all the inflections. The explicators
belong to a small group of verbs. The original meaning of the
explicator is lost. They add certain aspectual values, such as
completion of an action, benefaction, or intensification, to the main
verb. The most frequent explicators are listed below with their actual
meaning and the aspectual meanings they add to main verbs.
