-ৰ কাষত / -ৰ ওচৰত

Beside and Near

Level 2Sounds Like ra kāṣata / -ra ōcarata

কাষত means “beside, at the side of”, and ওচৰত means “near”.

How It Works

PhraseMeaning
মোৰ কাষতbeside me
নদীৰ কাষতbeside the river
ঘৰৰ ওচৰতnear the house
আমাৰ ওচৰতnear us

Pronouns use their -ৰ forms: আমাৰ ওচৰত “near us”, সিহঁতৰ ওচৰত “near them”. The question is কাৰ কাষত? “beside whom?”.

Both words end in -ত, the ending for “in, at”.

কাষ means “side, edge”, so -ৰ কাষত fits a seat next to you or a river bank: ঘৰটো নদীৰ কাষত আছে. ওচৰ means “nearness”, so -ৰ ওচৰত says that something is close: স্কুলখন মোৰ ঘৰৰ ওচৰত আছে.
