लगे
Having Something with लगे
Owner plus लगे plus the thing plus बा means have.
How It Works
Bhojpuri does not have a word for have. It says that something is near you.
| Owner | Form | Example |
|---|---|---|
| I | हमरा लगे | हमरा लगे साइकिल बा। |
| you (friend) | तोहरा लगे | तोहरा लगे पइसा बा? |
| you (respectful) | रउरा लगे | रउरा लगे पेन बा? |
| he, she | ओकरा लगे | ओकरा लगे दू गो घर बा। |
| Neha | नेहा के लगे | नेहा के लगे फोन बा। |
The word बा changes with the thing owned, as it does anywhere: बा for a thing, बाड़ें for men you respect.
For the negative, use नइखे: हमरा लगे पइसा नइखे। The same word also means near: दुकान स्टेशन के लगे बा.
Examples (5)
- हमरा लगे एगो साइकिल बा।
I have a bicycle.
हमरा लगे is the owner.
- तोहरा लगे पइसा बा?
Do you have money?
The same pattern for a question.
- ओकरा लगे दू गो घर बा।
He has two houses.
ओकरा is the oblique form of ऊ.
- नेहा के लगे फोन बा।
Neha has a phone.
With a name, use के before लगे.
- हमरा लगे पइसा नइखे।
I have no money.
नइखे is the negative of बा.
Common Mistakes
Using the Hindi word पास.
हमरा पास साइकिल बा।हमरा लगे साइकिल बा।Bhojpuri says लगे.
Using हम instead of हमरा.
हम लगे साइकिल बा।हमरा लगे साइकिल बा।The owner needs the हमरा form.
