In songs, -वा and -इया add warmth and fit the tune.

How It Works

The same endings -वा and -इया also mean "the one we know" in speech. In songs they carry feeling and help the line scan.

-वा follows a masculine noun, -इया usually a feminine one. A song may stretch a word to fit the tune, but the sentence round it is normal Bhojpuri.
