How It Works

तक has two uses.

It goes after the noun, like other postpositions. It comes after the changed possessive: हमरे घर तक आवा (he came as far as my house).

Together with a verb it says how long something lasts: देर रात तक जागत रहेन (we stayed up late into the night).

Some speakers also say लै or लगे for as far as. Lessons use तक. Hindi uses तक as well, so the word is easy to learn.

स्टेशन तक चलौ।
Come as far as the station.
तक marks the end of the walk.
हम साँझ तक घरे रहब।
I will be at home until evening.
तक marks the end of the time.
ऊ सात बजे तक सोवत अहै।
He sleeps until seven.
तक follows the clock time.
देर रात तक जागत रहेन।
