Joining with आ

Level 1

आ means and. It joins words and sentences.

How It Works

आ is the everyday word for and.

Write it as a separate word. It is not the same as the verb आ, which means come, as in आव.

In writing you may also see अउर or अउरी, which means and too, or more. Speech mostly says आ.

To list more than two things, repeat आ or use commas: दाल, भात आ सब्जी.

चाय आ बिस्कुट दीं।
Please give me tea and biscuits.
आ joins two nouns.
राहुल आ नेहा बजार जात बाड़ें।
Rahul and Neha are going to the market.
आ joins two people.
ऊ गावत बा आ नाचत बा।
He is singing and dancing.
आ joins two actions.
माई आ बाबूजी घरे बाड़ें।
Mother and father are at home.
आ joins two respected people.
दाल आ भात बनत बा।
The dal and rice are cooking.
आ joins two foods.
