Having Something Done

Level 4Sounds Like banabā'ēba

-बाएब verbs say that you ask or pay someone else to do it.

How It Works

This verb form says that you do not do the job yourself. You ask, tell or pay someone else. The one who does the work takes सँ.

Basic verb	Have it done	Past (I, respected)
बनाएब	बनबाएब	बनबौलहुँ
करब	करबाएब	करबौलहुँ, करबौलनि
लिखब	लिखबाएब	लिखबौलहुँ

The future uses the -ब form: हम काल्हि गाड़ी ठीक करबाएब।
The past uses -बौल-, not -बाएल: करबौलहुँ, करबौलनि.
The doer of the work is named with सँ, and the thing made is the object.

Compare the short form: काका घाट साफ कएलनि means Uncle cleaned the ghat himself. काका मजदूर सँ घाट साफ करबौलनि means he had a worker clean it. The ending -नि shows respect for Uncle, as usual.
