Lesson 50.06B2

Describing a Graph or Chart

ग्राफ़ या चार्ट का वर्णन

Hindi has its own small, fixed set of directional verbs for narrating a trend line — बढ़ना ('to increase'), घटना ('to decrease'), स्थिर रहना ('to stagnate') — matching French's augmenter/diminuer/stagner group almost one for one, so this lesson is mostly new vocabulary rather than new grammar.

Grammar Comparison

व्याकरण तुलना

Verbs of change carry a graph's story — Hindi has the identical small toolkit

French

Le taux de chômage a augmenté de 2 % entre 2020 et 2022. (The unemployment rate increased by 2% between 2020 and 2022)

Hindi

बेरोज़गारी की दर 2020 और 2022 के बीच 2% बढ़ी।

Describing a graph leans on a small set of directional verbs (augmenter, diminuer, stagner, chuter) plus prepositions of comparison (de...à, entre...et) — memorize this set as a unit, since B2 exam tasks specifically test the ability to narrate a trend line in words. Hindi has an equally fixed, equally small toolkit for the same job — बढ़ना, घटना, स्थिर रहना, गिरना, के बीच — so treat this lesson as filling in French vocabulary for a skill you can already do fluently in Hindi.
