जेकर
Whose in a Description: जेकर
जेकर links a noun to its owner inside a description: the man whose shop it is.
How It Works
जेकर means "whose". It introduces a clause that describes the noun just before it.
| Form | Use | Example |
|---|---|---|
| ओकर | his, her (plain statement) | ओकर दुकान बड़ी अहै |
| केकर | whose? (question) | ई केकर दुकान अहै? |
| जेकर | whose (in a description) | ऊ मनई जेकर दुकान अहै |
The order is: the person or thing, then जेकर, then the thing owned, then the verb of the describing clause. ऊ मनई जेकर दुकान बजार मा अहै is "the man whose shop is in the market".
जेकर stays the same for a man, a woman, one person or many. The person who owns the thing is usually named just before it, often with ऊ.
