घरे

At Home: घरे

Level 2Sounds Like gharē

A few place words add -े to mean at or to.

How It Works

Some everyday place words can end in -े. The ending already means at or to, so do not add मा, पर or का.

Use it with a state or a movement: ऊ घरे अहै (he is at home), हम घरे जाब (I will go home), ऊ गाँवे रहत अहै (he lives in the village).

With other place words, use a postposition: दुकान पर, सहर मा, स्कूल मा.

Many speakers also say घर पर. Both are normal; घरे is shorter and common in the east. Compare -न (बहुवचन) for plurals.

Hindi says घर पर or घर में; Awadhi also has घरे.

ऊ घरे अहै।
He is at home.
घरे means at home.
हम काल्हि घरे जाब।
I will go home tomorrow.
घरे also means to home.
अम्मा आजु घरे नाहीं अहैं।
Mother is not at home today.
नाहीं goes before the helper.
ऊ गाँवे रहत अहै।
He lives in the village.
गाँवे means in the village.
सात बजे तक घरे आव।
Come home by seven.
घरे comes before आव and needs no postposition.
