An Action as the Subject: -াটো
চেলা খোৱাটো নিৰাপদনে? means “is it safe to eat a centipede?” and তেওঁক সন্তুষ্ট কৰাটো টান means “it is hard to please him”.
How It Works
| Verb | -া form | With -টো |
|---|---|---|
| খা eat | খোৱা | খোৱাটো |
| যা go | যোৱা | যোৱাটো |
| কৰ do | কৰা | কৰাটো |
| শো sleep | শোৱা | শোৱাটো |
The object stays in front: ঔষধ খোৱাটো “taking medicine”. A describing word can follow: টান “hard”, গুৰুত্বপূৰ্ণ “important”.
The new noun can also be what someone wants or likes: মই তুমি যোৱাটো বিচাৰোঁ “I want you to go”.
The new noun often ends a sentence with a describing word such as টান “hard”, সহজ “easy” or কঠিন “difficult”: ডাঙৰ ঘৰ সাজাটো কঠিন “it is difficult to build a big house”. For the negative, make the describing word negative: সহজ নহয়.
