-आउब

Making Someone Do: -आउब

Level 4Sounds Like ā'uba

Add -आउब to make a verb mean to cause someone to do it.

How It Works

The ending -आउब makes a "cause" verb. The subject makes something happen, or makes someone do the action.

In the -त form the ending keeps a व: पढ़ावत, बनावत, चलावत. Examples: दीदी लरिकन का अवधी पढ़ावत अहैं (my sister teaches the children Awadhi).

You may also see this ending written -आवब. It is the same ending.

The person who is made to do the action takes का: लरिकन का पढ़ावत अहैं. Use -वाउब when you have someone else do a job for you.
