Punctuation

Read the following passages and mark the difficulties in understanding their meaning.

history tells us that in early life ashoka lived very much like his father and grandfather he hunted ate. meat and enjoyed life but he was always more clever than his enemies he solved all difficulties that stood in his way

You must have noticed that the reading of the above passages is not smooth. You cannot make out the meanings easily. The reasons for this difficulty is simple. These passages are not having any punctuation marks.

वाक्य के अन्त में, कभी थोड़ी देर के लिए बीच में, कभी कहीं अधिक समय के लिए ठहरना पड़ता है। यह ठहराव (Pause) के अर्थ को स्पष्ट करने में सहायक होता है। इस ठहराव को प्रकट करने के लिए हम कुछ चिन्हों का प्रयोग करते हैं। ये चिह्न Marks of Punctuation कहलाते हैं।

Now we give you two sentences with punctuation marks but still there is some difficulty.

...

“Let’s eat Grandpa!”
“Let’s eat, Grandpa!”

Here the meaning changes with wrong punctuation marks. Grandpa would have been eaten but right punctuation use saved him.

The father,"said the son,"is talkative
The father said,"The son is talkative.” 

Even when we are speaking, we pause at places and also show some gestures through our eyes and facial expressions to make the meanings clear.

...

Similarly, while writing we have to make pauses and stops by putting punctuation marks.

आपने ऊपर के पैरा और दो वाक्यों को पढ़कर कुछ कठिनाइयाँ मालूम की। कहीं कुछ मतलब नहीं निकलता। कहीं कुछ गलत मतलब निकलता है।
...

इसका कारण विरामांकन punctuation का न होना या गलत होना है। ऊपर के उदाहरणों से यह सिद्ध हो गया कि हमें सही Punctuation marks लगाना आना चाहिए। ये प्रमुख विराम चिन्ह punctuation marks क्या हैं इनके बारे में हम पढ़ेंगे ।
