-इबे

Future with तू: -इबे

Level 3Sounds Like ibē

With तू the future ends in -इबे.

How It Works

For the close तू, the future ends in -इबे. It is a form to know when you talk to a close friend, a younger relative or a child.

Verbतू future
करबकरिबे
जाबजइबे
आउबअइबे
खाबखइबे

Stems in -आ lose their long vowel, just as they do before -इहौ and -इहैं. Write जइबे and अइबे, not जाइबे or आइबे.

Around Lucknow and in the west, तू takes -इहै instead (तू कब अइहै?); both are real Awadhi, so you will meet either.

With the friendly तुम use -इहौ (तुम कब अइहौ?), and with आप use -इहैं.
