भरि

All Through

Level 3Sounds Like bhari

भरि after a time word means "all through".

How It Works

भरि is a separate word, usually after the noun.

With a unit of time, it also means "about one": घंटा भरि रुकू (Wait about an hour).

It can go with other nouns to mean "the whole": भरि पेट भात खाउ (Eat your fill of rice), गाम भरि (the whole village).

The verb tells the tense. हम दिन भरि काज कएलहुँ (I worked all day). राति भरि बरखा भेल (It rained all night).

Do not use मे for this. दिन मे means "in the daytime", not "all day".

हम दिन भरि काज कएलहुँ।
I worked all day.
दिन भरि: the whole day.
राति भरि बरखा भेल।
It rained all night.
राति भरि: the whole night.
ओ साल भरि गाम मे रहलाह।
He stayed in the village the whole year.
साल भरि: the whole year.

सभ गोटे भरि पेट भात खएलनि।
