Questions & Answers about मैं बाद में फोन करूँगी।
What does बाद में mean here?
बाद में means later, afterwards, or at a later time.
In this sentence, मैं बाद में phone करूँगी means I’ll call later.
A useful way to remember it:
- बाद = after / later
- में = in
Together, बाद में works like the natural English idea of later.
Why is the sentence using फोन करूँगी instead of a single verb meaning call?
In Hindi, many actions are expressed with a noun or borrowed word plus करना (to do).
So:
- फोन करना = to phone / to call
- literally, something like to do a phone call
This is very common in modern Hindi, especially with borrowed words:
- फोन करना = to call
- मैसेज करना = to message
- कॉल करना = to call
So फोन करूँगी means will call / will phone.
Why is there no separate word for will?
Hindi usually does not need a separate word like English will. The future meaning is built into the verb form itself.
Here:
- करूँगी = (said by a female speaker)
