-े वाला

The One Who Does or About to

Level 3Sounds Like ̔ē vālā

The -े form plus वाला names the doer or means about to.

How It Works

The -े form is the stem plus -े: बेचे, जाए, आवे, छूटे. वाला follows and acts like a noun or an adjective.

UseExample
the one who doesचाय बेचे वाला
the one who will doबजार जाए वाला केहू बा?
about toगाड़ी छूटे वाला बा।
from a placeछपरा वाली भउजी

After a woman or girl, use वाली: छपरा वाली भउजी. After a thing, this course writes वाला (जाए वाला गाड़ी), though वाली is heard too.

After a respected man, वाला still fits: बाबूजी आवे वाला बाड़ें.
