Life Plans & Wishes
जीवन-योजनाएँ और इच्छाएँ
Talking about future plans and wishes combines the present-for-future habit learned earlier at this level with Konjunktiv II forms, in a practical, exam-favorite topic.
Grammar Comparison
व्याकरण तुलना
vorhaben + zu-infinitive: making a plan
Ich habe vor, nächstes Jahr umzuziehen.
मेरी अगले साल घर बदलने की योजना है।
vorhaben is a separable verb (vor-haben) meaning 'to plan/intend', usually with a zu-infinitive clause. Like all separable verbs, vor breaks off and moves to the end of the main clause (Ich habe vor...), while the zu-infinitive of the planned action closes the sentence (...umzuziehen).
Ich würde gerne... not just for hypotheticals, but wishes too
Ich würde gerne im Ausland leben.
मैं विदेश में रहना बहुत पसंद करूँगा।
The würde + infinitive construction from the Konjunktiv II lesson does double duty here, expressing an aspirational wish rather than a strict hypothetical — very much like Hindi's "...करना बहुत पसंद करूँगा", which is really a polite statement of desire, not a genuine condition.
