घरे

At Home and to Market: -ए

Level 1Sounds Like gharē

Add -े to a few common place words: घरे, बजारे, खेते, दुआरे.

How It Works

For a handful of everyday places, Bhojpuri adds -े instead of using में or पर. The -े form means both at and to.

PlaceWith -ेExample
घर houseघरेऊ घरे बा।
बजार marketबजारेहम बजारे जात बानी।
खेत fieldखेतेबाबूजी खेते बाड़ें।
दुआर door, yardदुआरेलइका दुआरे बा।

With a verb of being, such as बा, the -े form means at: घरे बा. With a verb of going, such as जात बा, it means to: घरे जात बा.

Do not add this -े to every noun. For a school, an office or a station, use में or पर: स्कूल में, ऑफिस में, स्टेशन पर. For words that take -े, listen for them and copy them.
