कहल जात बा कि

It Is Said That

Level 5Sounds Like kahala jāta bā ki

कहल जात बा कि reports a common claim without saying who made it.

How It Works

This is a passive form of "say". It leaves out the speaker, so it fits traditions, rumours and general claims.

Form	Meaning
कहल जात बा कि	it is being said that
कहल जाला कि	it is said that (a general saying)
मानल जाला कि	it is believed that
बतावल जात बा कि	it is reported that

After कि, the clause is a plain sentence. Do not add a second "it is said". The speaker is not named, so avoid it when you want to name the source. For that, use ऊ कहलस कि.

कहल जात बा is common in news, speeches and storytelling. In casual talk, people say लोग कहेलें कि (people say that).
