આંકડા અને દલીલ: ટકા, વધારો, ઘટાડો
An argument with numbers in Gujarati puts the figure first and the change after: વેચાણ ગયા વર્ષ કરતાં દોઢ ગણું થયું · ભાવમાં બે ટકાનો ઘટાડો થયો · સરેરાશ વીસ હજાર રહી. The comparison takes કરતાં, the change takes નો/ની.
| Word | Say it | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| આંકડો | aankdo | figure, number |
| ટકા | taka | per cent |
| વધારો | vadhaaro | increase |
| ઘટાડો | ghataado | decrease, fall |
| સરેરાશ | sareraash | average |
The thing measured takes -માં, the change takes the genitive: ભાવમાં બે ટકાનો ઘટાડો થયો. A completed change takes થયું/થયો, and a comparison takes કરતાં after the thing compared with.
દોઢ ગણું થયું · બે ટકાનો ઘટાડો થયો · સરેરાશ વીસ હજાર રહી| Word | Say it | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| વેચાણ દોઢ ગણું થયું. | Vechaan dodh ganu thayu. | Sales became one and a half times. |
| ભાવમાં બે ટકાનો ઘટાડો થયો. | Bhaavmaa be takaa-no ghataado thayo. | There was a two per cent fall in the price. |
| સરેરાશ વીસ હજાર રહી. | Sareraash vees hajaar rahi. | The average stayed at twenty thousand. |
- ભાવ બે ટકા ઘટાડો થયો. → ભાવમાં બે ટકાનો ઘટાડો થયો. The measured noun takes -માં and the change takes -નો.
- વેચાણ ગયા વર્ષ કરતાં દોઢ ગણું વધારે છે. → વેચાણ ગયા વર્ષ કરતાં દોઢ ગણું થયું. A completed change takes થયું, not the present.

સત્તાવાર પત્ર: વિષય, સંબોધન, સમાપન
A formal Gujarati letter has fixed furniture: the salutation (આદરણીય શ્રીમાન …), the subject line (વિષય: …), the request (આપની વિનંતી છે કે …) and the closing (આભાર સહ). Nothing is improvised, and that is what makes it read as competent.
| Word | Say it | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| વિષય | vishay | subject (of a letter) |
| સંબોધન | sambodhan | salutation |
| સમાપન | samaapan | closing |
| વિનંતી | vinanti | request |
| સંદર્ભ | sandarbh | reference |
The subject line is a noun phrase with no verb (વિષય: રજા માટે વિનંતી), the request is impersonal (આપની વિનંતી છે કે …), and the closing is fixed (આભાર સહ / નમ્ર વિનંતી). Four lines carry the whole letter.

સમાચાર વાંચવા: મથાળું અને અહેવાલ
A Gujarati headline piles words (ભાવમાં ઘટાડો) while the report builds a sentence with a figure, a period and a source (ગયા મહિને ભાવ બે ટકા ઘટ્યો, અહેવાલ અનુસાર). Reading the news here means asking what the headline left out.
| Word | Say it | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| મથાળું | mathaalu | headline |
| અહેવાલ | ahevaal | report |
| સ્રોત | srot | source |
| ત્રિમાસ | trimaas | quarter (of a year) |
| સરખામણી | sarkhaamani | comparison |
The headline names a direction; the report measures it. A report sentence carries three things — the period (ગયા મહિને), the figure (બે ટકા) and the source (સ્રોત અનુસાર) — and a cause belongs in a separate sentence, not in the same one.
મથાળું: ભાવમાં ઘટાડો · અહેવાલ: ગયા મહિને ભાવ બે ટકા ઘટ્યો · સ્રોત અનુસાર| Word | Say it | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| મથાળું: ભાવમાં ઘટાડો. | Mathaalu: bhaavmaa ghataado. | Headline: fall in prices. |
| અહેવાલ: ગયા મહિને ભાવ બે ટકા ઘટ્યો. | Ahevaal: gayaa mahine bhaav be takaa ghatyo. | Report: last month the price fell two per cent. |
| સ્રોત અનુસાર, આંકડો ત્રીજા ત્રિમાસનો છે. | Srot anusaar, aankdo treejaa trimaasno chhe. | According to the source, the figure is from the third quarter. |
- મથાળું અને અહેવાલ એક જ વાત કહે છે. → મથાળું દિશા બતાવે છે, અહેવાલ માપ આપે છે. The headline gives the direction; only the report gives the measurement.
- ભાવ ઘટ્યો, કારણ કે સરકારે નિર્ણય લીધો. → ગયા મહિને ભાવ બે ટકા ઘટ્યો. A report sentence states figure, period and source; the cause is a different sentence.
Dialogue. Read it aloud twice — once for each speaker.

Gujarati B2 beyond the drills — culture, reading, listening, idioms
These sections are written for Gujarati B2 specifically. The reading text is EkGuru's own; the culture note cites where its facts come from; the idioms and the mistakes list are the ones this level actually trips over.
Culture note
Gujarati argument leans on the concessive hinge: સાચું છે કે … પણ … ('it is true that … but …'). Giving the other side its due before the objection is not politeness here — it is the structure that makes the objection land. The same hinge appears in editorials, family arguments and contract negotiations, which is why one pattern pays for itself three times.
Source (named, not linked): en.wikipedia.org, the article “Gujarati literature”.
Reading — read this aloud, slowly
સાચું છે કે આ યોજના ઘણી મહેનત માગે છે; તેમ છતાં તે વગર અમે વધુ મોટું જોખમ લઈએ છીએ. બીજી બાજુ, ખર્ચ પણ વધશે — આપણે તે સ્વીકારવું પડશે. મારો મત એ છે કે પહેલા છ મહિનાનો પ્રયોગ કરવો, અને પરિણામ જોઈને આગળ વધવું. જો પરિણામ સારું ન હોય, તો આપણે યોજના બદલી શકીશું.
What it says: It is true that this plan demands a lot of work; nevertheless, without it we take on a bigger risk. On the other hand, the cost will rise too — we have to accept that. My view is that we should first run a six-month trial and then decide on the results. If the results are not good, we can change the plan.
Listening — one voice, one text
Use the speaker button to hear this text with a browser voice tagged gu-IN; playback starts only after a click. If no matching voice is installed, read it aloud yourself — the rhythm is the point.
વિશ્લેષક: સાચું છે કે ખર્ચ વધશે.<br>સંપાદક: તેમ છતાં જોખમ ઓછું થશે.<br>વિશ્લેષક: બીજી બાજુ, સમય પણ લાગશે.<br>સંપાદક: તો પહેલા પ્રયોગ કરીએ.
What it says: Analyst: It is true that the cost will rise. Editor: Nevertheless the risk will fall. Analyst: On the other hand, it will also take time. Editor: Then let us run a trial first.
10 idioms and fixed phrases
| Idiom | Word for word | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| સાચું છે કે | it is true that | admittedly |
| તેમ છતાં | even so | nevertheless |
| બીજી બાજુ | on the other side | on the other hand |
| સ્વીકારવું પડશે | it will have to be accepted | we will have to accept it |
| મારો મત એ છે કે | my opinion is that | my view is that |
| આગળ વધવું | to move forward | to go ahead |
| પરિણામ | result | the result |
| જોખમ લેવું | to take a risk | to take a risk |
| યોજના બદલવી | to change the plan | to change the plan |
| છ મહિનાનો પ્રયોગ | a six-month trial | a six-month pilot |
The 3 mistakes this level makes
- સાચું છે કે આ યોજના સારી છે, પણ તેમ છતાં ખર્ચ વધે છે, પણ મને નહીં ગમે. → સાચું છે કે આ યોજના સારી છે, પણ ખર્ચ વધે છે. One hinge per sentence; પણ and તેમ છતાં do not pile up.
- મારો મત છે કે પ્રયોગ કરીએ છીએ. → મારો મત છે કે પ્રયોગ કરીએ. A proposal after મત છે કે takes the subjunctive-ish કરીએ.
- જો પરિણામ સારું ન હોય, તો આપણે યોજના બદલીશું હતું. → જો પરિણામ સારું ન હોય, તો આપણે યોજના બદલી શકીશું. A counterfactual option is expressed with શકીશું.
Your task
Write one two-storey argument in Gujarati Choose something you actually disagree with — a plan, a purchase, a timetable — and write it in Gujarati as a two-storey argument: સાચું છે કે … , તેમ છતાં … ; બીજી બાજુ … ; મારો મત એ છે કે … . Then say what would change your mind. That last sentence is the one that turns an argument into a negotiation, and it is the sentence learners usually forget to write.
After B2: the B2+ checkpoint
B2+ is not a certificate — it is the half-step between Gujarati B2 and the next level, and it is on this site’s ladder because language schools use it. You are at B2+ when you can run a meeting, read a contract, disagree well. Get there by working the recall drills above and the review deck until nothing on this page surprises you, then open the C1 pages.
