-े लागल

Starting to Do Something

Level 3Sounds Like ̔ē lāgala

The -े form plus लागल means began to.

How It Works

The -े form is the stem with -े added (रोवे, पढ़े, गावे). लागल follows and agrees with the person.

It also works for the habitual: लइका रोवे लागेला (the child starts crying) and for the future.

It says the start of something. It is a sudden or slow start, not a plan. For a plan, use चाहल.

Don't put -त before लागल. The -े form is the one.

लइका रोवे लागल।
The child started crying.
लागल follows the -े form.
बरखा होखे लागल।
It started to rain.
होखे लागल is the same pattern.
नेहा गावे लगली।
Neha started to sing.
लगली goes with a woman.
हम पढ़े लगनी।
I started studying.
लगनी is the हम form.
साँझ भइल त मच्छर काटे लागल।
Evening came and the mosquitoes began to bite.
लागल treats the mosquitoes as one plain group.

Using the -त form before लागल.
लइका रोवत लागल।
लइका रोवे लागल।
The -े form comes before लागल.
