नीक लागल
Liking and Feeling: लागल
Person in the हमरा form, plus the thing, plus नीक लागेला, means like.
How It Works
Bhojpuri does not say I like with हम as the subject. It says that something feels good to me. So the person takes the हमरा form, and the verb agrees with the thing.
| Meaning | Pattern | Example |
|---|---|---|
| like (always) | नीक लागेला | हमरा ई गाना नीक लागेला। |
| do not like | नीक ना लागेला | ओकरा ई फिलिम नीक ना लागेला। |
| feeling now | लागल बा | हमरा भूख लागल बा। |
| like, plain | पसंद बा | हमरा लिट्टी-चोखा पसंद बा। |
पसंद बा works the same way. Other feelings use the same frame: हमरा प्यास लागल बा (I am thirsty), हमरा ठंडा लागत बा (I feel cold).
