You Can Be Anything (feat. Glenna Bree) - Wizardz Of Oz [Official Lyric ...

To Be Or Not To Be !



In Sanskrit you have both options "To Be Or Not To Be" if you are using Present tense.


I am talking about the verb "To Be".


In English the verb "To Be " has to be written for eg in Present Tense :


He is a boy.


She is a girl.


They are boys.


They are girls.


You are a boy/girl.


I am a boy/girl.


The Verb Be here is expressed here in as "Is","Are" and "Am"


It would be incorrect to say:


He boy.


She girl.


They boys/girls.


I boy/girl.




Let's hop over to Sanskrit.


In Sanskrit one can still write a sentence in the present tense with or without "Is/Are/Am"


For eg:


सः बलकः अस्ति । saH balakaH asti(He is a boy)


सः बलकः| saH balakaH.


Both are correct. The अस्ति denoting "Is" need not always be written because the message is understood that "He is a boy"



Same with 2nd person and 1st person.


त्वं बलकः असि | You are a boy.


त्वं बलकः |


Both are correct. The असि denoting "Are" need not always be written.


अहं बलकः अस्मि| I am a boy.


अहं बलकः|

Both are again correct. The अस्मि denoting "Am" need not always be written.



So in Sanskrit you can be anything!
