Reading Context in Workplace Scenarios
Understand the context of the scenario in hand. If the text revolves around a first job interview, terms like ‘interview’ (મુલાકાત), ‘nervous’ (ઘબરાયેલું), or ‘resume’ (રેઝુમે) could dominate. For text dealing with daily work at an office, phrases related to work allocation (કામ ફાળવવું), deadlines (મુદતી સમય), or meetings (મેળાવીઓ) might be common.
Recognising the correct tense and understanding whether an event has happened, is happening or will happen is crucial as well.
The key to mastering these elements is regular translation practice. Pick different texts involving work-related situations from English to Gujarati for translating. You can check your work with a proficient Gujarati speaker or use reference books/apps to improve your understanding and fluency.
