চা “look” gives মই চাওঁ, তুমি চোৱা and তেওঁ চায়; the negative is নাচায়.

How It Works

Use চা for looking and watching.

Person	Form	Example
মই	চাওঁ	মই টিভি চাওঁ “I watch TV”
তুমি	চোৱা	তুমি কি চোৱা? “what are you looking at?”
সি, তাই, আপুনি	চায়	তাই নদীৰ ফালে চায় “she looks towards the river”

To say where the eyes go, use ফালে after the -ৰ form: সেইটোৰ ফালে চায় “looks at that”.

The negative prefix copies the vowel of the form that follows: নাচায় for চায়, নোচোৱা for চোৱা.

The form চাওঁ can also mean “let us see”: চাওঁ কি হয় “let us see what happens”.
