गइल बा
Has Gone and Has Come
A verb with no object usually keeps -ल before बा: it says what state things are in now.
How It Works
The -ल form works like an adjective: it names the state after the action. गइल बा is has gone, सुतल बा is is asleep, पहुँचल बा is has arrived.
| Who | Form |
|---|---|
| हम | गइल बानी |
| तू | गइल बाड़ऽ |
| ऊ | गइल बा |
| ऊ (a woman) | गइल बाड़ी |
| respected man, ऊ लोग | गइल बाड़ें |
Compare with the -ले बा pattern, which is mostly for verbs with an object (देखले बा). Both use बा; only the ending of the verb differs.
For the past, use रहे: ऊ बजार गइल रहे.
