যিখন … তালৈ
The One That …
যিখন সৰু চহৰত … তালৈ … means “the small town in which … to which …”.
How It Works
The counting word in যিখন, যিটো and যিজন matches the noun that the clause describes.
| Starts with | For | Matching word |
|---|---|---|
| যিখন | a book, a film, a town | সেইখন, তালৈ |
| যিটো | a thing, a matter | সেইটো |
| যিজন | a person | সেইজন |
The first example reads: এইখনেই সেইখন গামোচা যিখন মই বজাৰত কিনিছিলোঁ. The clause যিখন মই বজাৰত কিনিছিলোঁ describes গামোচা, and সেইখন points at it.
A place can be the target, as in the long sentence ল’ৰালিতে যিখন সৰু চহৰত ডাঙৰ-দীঘল হৈছিলোঁ, তালৈ উভতি গ’লে … “when I go back to the small town where I grew up …”. Here যিখন … চহৰত describes the town, and তালৈ “there” points to it again.
