इहे / उहे
This Very One: इहे and उहे
-ए, -ही or -हीं added to a word focuses it: इहे (this very one), उहे (the same one), अबहीं (right now).
How It Works
The ending makes the word precise. It does not add a new idea; it points.
| Plain word | Focused | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| ई | इहे, एही | this very one |
| ऊ | उहे, ओही | that very one |
| अब | अबहीं | right now |
| तब | तबे | just then |
| घर | घरहीं | right at home |
इहे and उहे are common as a thing or person: हमरा इहे चाहीं. Before a noun with a postposition, use एही and ओही: एही घर में, ओही आदमी से.
Do not use Hindi यही and वही.
