गइल / गइली
The Simple Past: -ल and -ली
गइल is he went, गइली is she went.
How It Works
| Verb | Man or thing | Woman |
|---|---|---|
| जाइल go | गइल | गइली |
| आवल come | आइल | अइली |
| सुतल sleep | सुतल | सुतली |
| पहुँचल arrive | पहुँचल | पहुँचली |
जाइल becomes गइल and आवल becomes आइल. Before the ending -ली, the आ of आइल becomes अ, so you get अइली.
This past follows the subject, not an object. Verbs that take an object, such as खाइल (eat), use a different ending for he, taught next.
Respected people and groups use another ending, -लें: बाबूजी गइलें. For हम and रउआ it is -नी: हम गइनी. For तू it is -लऽ or -लू.
