राखस / देस

Blessings and Wishes: -स

Level 5Sounds Like rākhasa ā dēsa

The -स form makes a wish when a respected person, or God, is the one acting.

How It Works

This is a blessing form. The speaker hopes that someone respected will do something good for another person.

It is the same subjunctive form as in चाहल कि when the doer is respected. Use it for hopes, greetings and prayers: भगवान रउरा के लमहर उमिर देस.

Everyday speech uses it mostly for blessings. For a wish about something ordinary, use -े: बरखा होखे (may it rain).

भगवान रउरा के खुश राखस।
May God keep you happy.
राखस is the respected wish form.
भगवान रउरा के लमहर उमिर देस।
May God give you a long life.
देस from देल.

May God make Father well soon.
करस for a respected doer.
