The person is in the हमरा, तोहरा, रउरा or ओकरा form, not हम or तू. This is a duty or a plan that is waiting for you.

For a duty in the past, use के पड़ल, which means had to, and for something you should do, use के चाहीं.

बा does not change for the person. It agrees with the task, which is one thing.

Common Mistakes

  • Using हम as the subject.

    हम काल्ह जाए के बा।
    हमरा काल्ह जाए के बा।

    The person needs the हमरा form.

  • Using the Hindi pattern.

    हमरा काल्ह पटना जाना बा।
    हमरा काल्ह पटना जाए के बा।

    Bhojpuri uses the -े form, not -ना.
