Look at these examples. Can you spot the grammar pattern?

I don't think he'll come.

He dashed the letter off.

The book is lying on the table.

Pay attention to the highlighted parts. What do they have in common?

What transfers directly

Dative experiencer constructions.
Possession without a verb 'to have'.
Conditional pairs with both halves marked.
Gerunds, participles and the impersonal register.

What has to be rebuilt

Free word order into verb-final order.
Aspect from the verb stem into a compound verb or a perfect.
Case endings into postpositions and the oblique.
Prefixed verbs into vector verbs or adverbs.

What has no counterpart

The ne construction, the agreeing infinitive, the honorific plural for a third person, and the causative series. In the other direction, Russian verbal aspect and the six-case system have no Hindi counterpart, and translators habitually lose the perfective-imperfective distinction.

The practical rule

Translate meaning at the level of the clause, never the phrase. A Russian sentence rebuilt phrase by phrase produces grammatical Hindi that no speaker would write.

Common Error Patterns

Phrase-by-phrase translation

Rebuild at clause level; the word order and aspect both move.

Aspect lost in either direction

chital and prochital both become parha unless a vector is added.

I don't think he'll come.

Direct transfer: dative experiencer plus ki.

He dashed the letter off.

The vector carries what a Russian prefix would.

The book is lying on the table.

Case ending rebuilt as a postposition plus an oblique noun.
