करै का चाही
Should: करै का चाही
The -ै form plus का चाही says what someone should do.
How It Works
चाही on its own means "needed": हमका पानी चाही (I need water). With the purpose form of a verb it means "should".
| Person | Should |
|---|---|
| हमका | जाय का चाही |
| तुमका | आराम करै का चाही |
| ओका | समय से आवै का चाही |
| लरिकन का | जल्दी उठै का चाही |
The person takes का, and the verb takes the -ै form (-य after a vowel: जाय, खाय). The second का is part of the pattern, and चाही never changes.
To say should not, put न before the verb: तुमका उहाँ न जाय का चाही. The pattern can be gentle advice or a firm rule, and the tone comes from the voice.
For "I want you to", use चाहब कि and a short verb form, not this pattern.
