News and online writing use रहल बा for an action in progress.

How It Works

In speech, an action in progress takes -त बा: ऊ खात बा. In news and online Bhojpuri, writers often use रहल बा, which looks like the Hindi रहा है.

Negativeकाम हो नइखे रहल

Both forms are correct Bhojpuri. रहल बा is common in writing, so you will meet it in articles and posts. In your own speech, prefer -त बा.

With जाइल, the pattern is जा रहल बा. The stem comes first: कर रहल बा, बन रहल बा.
