गइल as a Helper Verb
Compound Verbs with जाइल
A stem plus a form of जाइल shows a change or a finished event.
How It Works
The helper gives the verb a sense of turning into something or being complete. सुतल is to sleep; सुत गइल is to fall asleep. मानल is to accept; मान गइनी is I gave in.
| Stem | With गइल | Sense |
|---|---|---|
| सुत | सुत गइल | fell asleep |
| भर | भर गइल | got full |
| फट | फट गइल | curdled |
| अझुरा | अझुरा गइली | got tangled |
The helper takes the usual past endings: गइनी (हम), गइल (ऊ), गइली (a woman), गइलें (respected man, plural). The main verb stays as the bare stem.
Use it for things that happen to someone, not things they choose to do for someone.
