কৰক / কৰাঁ
Polite Requests and Instructions
-ক is the polite request for আপুনি, and -াঁ is the command for তুমি.
How It Works
| Verb | আপুনি, polite | তুমি, friend |
|---|---|---|
| কৰ “do” | কৰক | কৰাঁ |
| আহ “come” | আহক | আহাঁ |
| বহ “sit” | বহক | বহাঁ |
| দি “give” | দিয়ক | দিয়াঁ |
| যা “go” | যাওক | যোৱাঁ |
The nasal mark ঁ separates the command from the present. তুমি ৰাতিপুৱা ইয়ালৈ আহা? “do you come here in the morning?” has no mark, and ইয়ালৈ আহাঁ “come here!” has it.
The -ক request sounds polite. Use it with elders, customers and people you do not know well.
Verbs with a vowel stem add the same endings. যা “go” gives যাওক for আপুনি and যোৱাঁ for তুমি. খা “eat” gives খাওক and খোৱাঁ.
To tell someone not to do something, use নকৰিব or নকৰিবাঁ.
