먹다 — meaning in Hindi

[meokda] · verb · 1 · food

हिंदी: खाना

English: to eat

Example sentence

“저는 아침을 먹어요.”

मैं नाश्ता करता हूँ।

The Korean verb comes at the end of the sentence and changes with the speech level and tense: 가요 (polite) vs 간다 (plain), 갔어요 (past).
The dictionary form ends in 다; drop it and add the ending: 가다 → 가요, 먹다 → 먹어요.
Verbs do not change for person: 저는 가요, 그분은 가요 — the subject never alters the form.
Honorifics are built into the verb: the same verb can change shape for the person you address or talk about (가시다).
