Immediate present. "Avi jaao have" (come now) is an urgent summons. Tone shifts the urgency level.
"Pachi" can mean anything from five minutes to next week depending on context. If timing is critical, ask for a specific time.
One of the most useful time words. "Aaje shum chhe?" (What is there today?) is how you ask about the day's menu or events.
Gujarati uses the same word "kaale" for both yesterday and tomorrow, distinguished only by context. Listen carefully to surrounding words.
Literally "one minute".
Stays the same after a number.
