How Would You Translate This Hindi Quote into English Without Losing Its Meaning?

Hi Everyone!

"KAL DO PRAKAR KE HOTE HAI EK EK BEETA HUA KAL AUR EK AANE WAALA KAL"

Regards, Shyamali

Hi,

I tried it, but the thing is that in English, we don't use the same word with a different meaning, especially in this case. In English, we have "tomorrow" for "Aane wala Kal" and "yesterday" for "Beeta hua Kal." Now, I am confused. I think we can't translate this statement "KAL DO PRAKAR KE HOTE HAI EK EK BEETA HUA KAL AUR EK AANE WAALA KAL" in Hindi without distorting the meaning. Please tell me if you have any solution to this problem.

Hey, come on, let up. What's the answer? Or is there no correct answer to it as yet?

Hi,

I think Shyamali is waiting for the answer from someone. 😂😂 I will go with what Vinisha said.... Cheers, 😉 Dhanjith

Hey,

Hmmm... Now I am really interested to know what the correct answer is. And I have a hunch, we would all burst out laughing. I am afraid I gave a bit too serious an answer!

Hi Syamali,

Let me try,

"Kal do prakar ke hote hain, ek beeta hua kal aur ek aane wala kal." Tomorrow and yesterday in Hindi are represented by the same word "kal," so we are facing a problem. 😈 Time can be represented in two ways: one is yesterday, and the other is tomorrow.

Hey, Hi Shyamali,

That's a very tricky question. I'm confused, but I'm eager to know the answer like everyone here. Please let us know soon.

Hi!

I hope you are not mad.

The solution:

"Yesterday and tomorrow are the two parts of itself!"

Shyamali

Hi,

I am confused. Shymali, could you please provide the Hindi version and then explain how the English version was derived?

Vinisha

There are two types of time: past time and future time.

In Hindi, "kal" has two meanings. One is that "kal" means time, and the second is yesterday and tomorrow.

Hi Shyamali,

I'm sorry I didn't get it. What is meant by 'ITSELF'?
