अगर ... त
If and Then
अगर gives a condition and त gives the result.
How It Works
This is the real if of future plans. The condition is possible, and the result depends on it.
| If-clause | Result |
|---|---|
| अगर बरखा होई, | त हम ना आइब। |
| जदि तू कहबऽ, | त हम चलब। |
| अगर पइसा रही, | त हम नया मोबाइल किनब। |
अगर and जदि mean the same. Speakers use अगर more in everyday talk, and जदि feels a little more like writing.
The verb in the if-clause is usually the future (होई, रही). For something that did not happen, use the form with -तीं, as in जनतीं त.
Examples (5)
- अगर बरखा होई, त हम ना आइब।
If it rains, I won't come.
अगर opens the condition.
- जदि तू कहबऽ, त हम चलब।
If you say so, I will go.
जदि is another word for अगर.
- अगर पइसा रही, त हम नया मोबाइल किनब।
If I have the money, I will buy a new phone.
The future रही fits a plan.
- अगर नेहा आई, त हम ओकरा से भेंट करब।
If Neha comes, I will meet her.
त opens the result.
- अगर तनी जल्दी निकलबऽ, त गाड़ी मिल जाई।
If you leave a bit early, you will catch the train.
The result is also in the future.
