Is जायेगा interchangeable here with either जाऊँगा or जाएगा?


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/vinay92

जाएगा and जायेगा are interchangeable. Basically, in words where a vowel appears by itself in the middle of a word (like ए in जाएगा), you will have two vowel sounds one after the other. Some people don't like this and tend to insert a 'helper consonant' like य् (y) in the middle of two vowels to help in the pronunciation. So, instead of just 'e' in 'jāegā', they make it into a 'ye' in 'jāyegā'.

जाऊँगा is the first-person form and goes with मैं.

Does that mean it could also be जायूंगा ?


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/vinay92

No. For जाऊँगा, the consonant that is inserted is 'v' - jaavonga. But this is more while speaking (not so much in written form).

It is very difficult AT THE BEGINNING OF A NEW LESSON, to try and translate words BEFORE they tell you what the words mean! Especially when they put it into a sentence with other new (and unhighlighted) words. Grrr.

Exactly my frustration. Am always ready to give up at the beginning of a new topic ...

Are the hints not working?

Is there a reason गांव is pronounced like गांओ ?


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/B96lXSTM

Why “the” and not “a”. I get that their translation is correct but I why couldn’t it as well be a village?


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/vinay92

It can. Without additional context, the sentence is not telling you anything about definiteness.

Cause peter is going to a particular village and not any village...
