होइ जाब
Becoming: होइ जाब
होइ जाब means to become, or to come about.
How It Works
The verb होब means "be" and "happen". With जाब after its -इ form, it means "become".
| Form | Meaning |
|---|---|
| होइ गवा | he or it became (masculine) |
| होइ गई | she or it became (feminine) |
| होइ गए | they became |
| होइ जाई | it will become |
It describes a change of state: ऊ बीमार होइ गवा (he fell ill), साँझ होइ गई (evening came), काम होइ गवा (the work got done).
The plain past of होब is भवा (masculine), भई (feminine) or भए (several). It asks and answers what happened: का भवा? Use होइ जाब when you want to stress the change, and भवा when you only report the event.
