Guest guest Posted October 9, 2004 Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 Hi group. I wonder if someone, off the top of his or her head, would settle an argument I am having with a friend, wherein I am 'arguing' from a position of complete ignorance, because I cannot understand Panini even in English. To wit: Do the ancient indian grammarians have concepts and categories corresponding roughly exactly to those known as tense and mood in western grammar, or have I just been deceived by western Sanskrit grammars that have forced quite different and alien indian conceptions of the verb into western categories, as this friend claims to me?
