کو + Feeling + محسوس ہونا
Experiencing a Sensation
Put the experiencer in a کو form and identify what is felt.
How It Works
Compare masculine درد and feminine سردی: درد محسوس ہو رہا ہے versus سردی محسوس ہو رہی ہے. The experiencer’s کو form is unchanged.
In the past, a feminine experience can take ہوئی or ہو رہی تھی. Choose the aspect according to whether you present the sensation as arising or already ongoing.
محسوس کرنا is a separate transitive construction. Do not take its subject marking and insert it into the کو plus محسوس ہونا pattern.
