अइसन / वइसन

The examples here use the same form for every noun: अइसन बात, अइसन फ्लैट.
Do not confuse them with अइसे and वइसे, which tell how something is done: ऊ अइसे बोलत अहै (he talks like this). अइसन describes a noun; अइसे describes a verb.
Awadhi spells the words with अइ and वइ. Use these, not the Hindi ऐसा and वैसा.
