In the Hindi language, only the present and future indicative forms are fully conjugated.

Other tenses in Hindi are not fully conjugated in the same manner; instead, they are formed by combining perfective and imperfective participles with auxiliary verbs. For example, in the sentence ādmī laṛkī-ko dekhtā ("the man sees the girl"), the verb dekhtā ("sees") is etymologically a participle that agrees in number and gender with the subject.12
