Level 1Sounds Like hamarā, tōharā ā ra'urā

How It Works

Pronouns have a second form for use before a postposition.

PronounBefore a postpositionExample

तूतोहरातोहरा खातिर चाय बा।
रउआरउरारउरा से बात करे के बा।
ऊओकराओकरा के बोलावऽ।
ईएकराएकरा से पूछऽ।

हमनी keeps its form and adds के: हमनी के. ई लोग and ऊ लोग become एह लोग and ओह लोग.
