Having Something Done

Level 4Sounds Like vāvala

Adding -वाव means having someone else do the work.

How It Works

The pattern is one step further than -आव. Two people are involved: the subject, who arranges the job, and the worker, who does it.

The worker is often marked with से: दर्जी से, नाई से.

In the past, speakers often add लेल: कटवा लिहली, सिलवा लिहनी. The helper shows it was for the doer.

हम नया घर बनवावत बानी।
I am having a new house built.
बनवावत says someone else builds.
अमित दर्जी से कुरता सिलवावेला।
Amit gets his kurta stitched by the tailor.
दर्जी से marks the worker.
नेहा नाई से बाल कटवा लिहली।
Neha had her hair cut by the barber.
लिहली adds for herself.
माई बेटा से सामान मँगवा लिहली।
Mother had her son bring the goods.
मँगवा लिहली is the past.
तू मोबाइल ठीक करवा लिहलऽ?
Did you get the phone repaired?
ठीक करवा लिहलऽ is the past.

Using -आव when someone else does the work.
हम नया घर बनावत बानी।
हम नया घर बनवावत बानी।
बनावत बानी says I build it myself; बनवावत बानी says I have it built.
