कर रहल बा
Progressive in News Writing: रहल बा
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.
| Style | Example |
|---|---|
| Speech | सड़क बनत बा |
| News writing | सड़क बनावल जा रहल बा |
| Plural subject | किसान धान रोप रहल बाड़ें |
| Negative | काम 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.
