Some Other Important thing about change Optative Sentences into Indirect Speech.
Note : wished/Prayed के बाद Object का प्रयोग न करें ।
परंतु यदि आप wished/Prayed के बाद Object का प्रयोग करना चाहते हैं तो for + Object का प्रयोग करें ।
आइये इसे Examples से समझते हैं ।
My mother said to me, ” May God save you ! ”
My mother Prayed that God might save me.
My mother Prayed for me that God might save me.
मेरी माँ मुझसे कहती है, ” भगवान तुम्हारी रक्षा करें ! “
इस वाक्य से यह बिलकुल स्पष्ट है कि मेरी माँ मेरे लिए भगवान से प्रार्थना कर रही है । यहाँ पर my mother से ही स्पष्ट हो जाता है कि मेरी माँ मेरे लिए प्रार्थना करती है । अतः इसीलिए Prayed के बाद Object देना जरूरी नही होता है ( wished का भी same इसी प्रकार होता है )
किन्तु अगर आप Object देना चाहते हैं और इस प्रकार देते हैं । जैसे
My mother Prayed me that God might save me.
तो यह गलत होगा, क्योंकि जब आप ध्यान से इस वाक्य को हिन्दी मे Translate करेंगे तो आपको पता चलेगा । आइये Translate करते हैं ।
My mother Prayed me that God might save me.
मेरी माँ मुझसे प्रार्थना करती है कि भगवान मेरी रक्षा करें/करनी चाहिए ।
यहाँ “Prayed” के बाद direct ‘me’ लगाने से इसका अर्थ हो गया कि मेरी माँ मुझसे प्रार्थना करती है । तो क्या मेरी माँ मुझसे प्रार्थना करती है, नहीं वे भगवान से प्रार्थना करती है कि भगवान मेरी रक्षा करें ।, इसलिए यदि आप Prayed के बाद Object दे तो for + Object दे, ऐसा करने से इसका अर्थ मेरे लिए प्रार्थना करना होगा ।
My mother Prayed for me that God might save me.
मेरी माँ मेरे लिए प्रार्थना करती है कि भगवान मेरी रक्षा करें/करनी चाहिए ।
