मोर / तोर

My and Your in Folk Songs

Level 6Sounds Like mōra ā tōra

Folk songs use मोर (my) and तोर (your), often as मोरा and तोरा.

How It Works

Folk songs keep older forms. मोर has left daily speech. तोर is still said to very close family, but songs use both far more.

Song	Speech	Meaning
मोर, मोरा	हमार	my
तोर, तोरा	तोहार	your
तोरा	तोहरा	you, before a postposition

मोरा before a noun is a song form of "my": मोरा पिया (my beloved). तोर is also the तें form in speech, for very close family. In a song it is about love and longing, not rudeness.

When you read a song, swap मोर for हमार in your head. Do not use मोर in daily talk.
