करब

I Will: -ब

Level 2Sounds Like karaba

Stem plus -ब gives I will.

How It Works

VerbI will
जाइल goजाइब
खाइल eatखाइब
करल doकरब
पढ़ल readपढ़ब
आवल comeआइब
देखल seeदेखब

रउआ takes the same form: रउआ काल्ह आइब means you will come tomorrow, said respectfully.

Spellings with -बि, such as करबि, appear in writing. Write -ब.

To say will not, put ना before the verb: हम ना जाइब. A future verb makes काल्ह mean tomorrow.

For he and she the ending is different (-ई), and for तू it is -बऽ or -बू.

Examples (5)

  1. हम काल्ह आइब।

    I will come tomorrow.

    आव changes to आइ before -ब: आइब.

  2. हम तोहरा के फोन करब।

    I will call you.

    करब.

  3. हम ई किताब पढ़ब।

    I will read this book.

    पढ़ब.

  4. हम ना जाइब।

    I will not go.

    ना goes before the verb.

  5. हमनी काल्ह जाइब जा।

    We will go tomorrow.

    जा follows the हमनी verb.

Common Mistakes

  • Using the Hindi future.

    हम काल्ह आऊँगा।
    हम काल्ह आइब।

    Bhojpuri uses -ब.
