ভিতৰত / বাহিৰত
Inside and Outside
ভিতৰত is “inside”, and বাহিৰত is “outside”.
How It Works
| Phrase | Meaning |
|---|---|
| ঘৰৰ ভিতৰত | inside the house |
| ঘৰৰ বাহিৰত | outside the house |
| ভিতৰত আছোঁ | I am inside |
| বাহিৰত আছে | is outside |
Like the other place words, they end in -ত “at”. After a noun, the noun takes -ৰ and the place word stands apart: ঘৰৰ ভিতৰত.
A classifier on the noun points to one particular thing: ঘৰটোৰ ভিতৰত “inside the house”.
Alone, they answer the question “where?” and need no noun. মোৰ দেউতা ভিতৰত আছে means “my father is inside”. With a verb of action they say where it happens: ল’ৰাবোৰ বাহিৰত খেলে “the boys play outside”.
