Questions & Answers about सिम कार्ड सक्रिय कीजिए।
What does each part of सिम कार्ड सक्रिय कीजिए mean?
- सिम कार्ड = SIM card
- सक्रिय = active
- कीजिए = polite command form of करना (to do / to make)
So the structure is literally something like:
SIM card active make, please
Natural English: Please activate the SIM card.
Hindi often uses a word meaning active plus करना (to do/make) to express the idea to activate.
Why does Hindi use सक्रिय कीजिए instead of a single verb meaning activate?
Hindi very often builds actions with a noun or adjective plus करना.
Here:
- सक्रिय = active
- सक्रिय करना = to make active / to activate
So सक्रिय कीजिए is the polite imperative form of सक्रिय करना.
This pattern is extremely common in Hindi. For example:
- साफ कीजिए = clean it / make it clean
- शुरू कीजिए = start it / begin
- बंद कीजिए = close it / shut it
