Questions & Answers about तुरंत फोन कीजिए ताकि बैंक कार्ड ब्लॉक करे।
What does तुरंत mean, and why is it placed at the beginning?
तुरंत means immediately, right away, or at once.
It is an adverb, so it describes when the action should happen. Putting it at the beginning gives the sentence a sense of urgency:
तुरंत फोन कीजिए = Call immediately
Hindi often places time adverbs near the beginning for emphasis, though word order can be somewhat flexible.
Why is it फोन कीजिए? Why not just a simple verb meaning call?
In Hindi, many borrowed words from English are used with करना to make a verb phrase.
So:
- फोन करना = to call / to phone
- ब्लॉक करना = to block
- मैसेज करना = to message
That means फोन कीजिए literally comes from फोन करना, using a polite command form of करना.
So the structure is:
- फोन = phone / call
- कीजिए = please do
Together: फोन कीजिए = please call
What kind of form is कीजिए?
कीजिए is a polite imperative form of करना.
It is used when speaking respectfully, for example:
