মোক / তোমাক / আপোনাক
Me and You as the Receiver
মোক, তোমাক and আপোনাক are “me” and “you” as the receiver.
How It Works
| Subject | Receiver | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| মই | মোক | me |
| তুমি | তোমাক | you (friend) |
| আপুনি | আপোনাক | you (respected person) |
These forms are used for the person who is told, given, asked, helped or liked: মোক সহায় কৰক “please help me”.
They are also the person in the sentences with লাগে “need”: মোক চাহ লাগে “I need tea”. With ভাল লাগে “like”, the person takes -ৰ instead: মোৰ চাহ ভাল লাগে.
The vowel of the stem changes: মই to মো-, তুমি to তোমা- and আপুনি to আপোনা-. The same stems appear before -ৰ, as in মোৰ, তোমাৰ and আপোনাৰ.
