Questions & Answers about कम समय लगेगा।
What is the verb in कम समय लगेगा?
The verb is लगेगा.
It comes from the dictionary form लगना, which has several meanings depending on context, such as:
- to attach / be attached
- to seem / feel
- to start
- to take (time, effort, money, etc.)
In this sentence, लगना means to take.
So समय लगेगा literally means something like time will be required / time will be taken.
Why does लगेगा end in -ेगा?
The ending -ेगा marks the future tense for a masculine singular form.
So:
- लगेगा = will take (masculine singular)
- लगेगी = will take (feminine singular)
- लगेंगे = will take (masculine plural / respectful contexts)
In this sentence, the verb agrees with समय, and समय is masculine singular, so लगेगा is the correct form.
