<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Examples of possible answers</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>Sandeep: Yes.  I drink both tea and coffee.  But I like tea more. And I put ginger in the tea I drink.</strong><br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">हाँ। मैं चाय और कॉफ़ी दोनों पीता हूँ। लेकिन मेरे को चाय ज़्यादा अच्छी लगती है। और चाय में अदरक डालके पीता हूँ। </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">(haan| men chaay aur kaa-phii do-non pii-taa huun| le-kin me-re ko chaay zyaa-daa laag-tii hai|  aur chaay men ad-rak daal-ke pii-taa huun)</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>Meenakshi: No, I do not drink coffee.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">नहीं मैं कॉफ़ी नहीं पीती हूँ। </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">(na-hiin mein co-fee na-hiin pii-tii huun)</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Examples:  Answering the question about a third person</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>Sandeep: My wife only drinks tea.</strong> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">मेरी पत्नी सिर्फ़ चाय पीती है। </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">(me-rii pat-nii sirph chaay pii-tii hai) </span></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>She does not drink coffee.</strong></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">वो कॉफ़ी नहीं पीती है। </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">(vo ko-phii pii-tii hai) </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><strong>And she puts too much milk in the tea she drinks.</strong></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">और वो चाय में बहुत सारा दूध डालके पीती है। </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">(aur vo chaay men ba-hut saa-raa duudh daal-ke pii-tii hai) </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><strong>And she also puts too much sugar.</strong></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">और देर सारी चीनी भी डालती है। </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">(aur dej saa-rii chii-nii bhii daal-tii hai)</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>Meenakshi: No, my friend does not drink tea or coffee or anything else.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">नहीं मेरी सहेली चाय या कॉफ़ी कुछ भी नहीं पीती है। (na-hiin me-rii sa-he-lii chaaii yaa ko-phii kuchh bhii na-hiin pii-tii hai) – </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>Sandeep: Why?  Why doesn’t she drink?</strong> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">क्यों?  क्यों नहीं पीती? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">(kyoon?  kyoon na-hiin pii-tii?) </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>Meenakshi: Because her parents did not give her to drink in her childhood.  Therefore she does not have the habit of drinking tea or coffee.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">क्योंकी उसके माता पिता ने उसको बचपन में चाय बिलकुल भी नहीं पिलायी।  तो उसको चाय या कॉफ़ी पिनेकी आदत नहीं है। </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">(kyoon-kii us-ke maa-taa pi-taa- ne us-ko  bach-pan men chaay bil-kul bhii na-hiin pi-laa-yii.  tho us-ko chaay yaa kaa-phii pi-ne-kii aa-dat na-hiin hai) </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>Sandeep: Does she sometimes drink?</strong> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">लेकिन  क्या वो कभी कभी पीती है? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">(le-kin kyaa vo ka-bhii ka-bhii pii-tii hai?) </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>Meenakshi: No, she does not drink at all.  She does not like it.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">नहीं वो बिलकुल नहीं पीती है। उसको अच्छी नहीं लगती है। </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">(na-hiin vo bil-kul na-hiin hii-tii hai.  us-ko achchhii na-hiin lag-tii hai)</span></p>
