बिना means without.

How It Works

Use it to describe a thing that lacks something, or an action done without it: बिना पानिक जीवन नहि होइत अछि (There is no life without water).

With a pronoun, use the object form: बिना हमरा (without me). A noun after a possessive still takes -क: बिना हमर मदतिक.

The written order, बिना first and -क on the noun, is the one to use at first. The spoken order after the noun is also common and correct.

बिना दूधक चाह दिअ।
Please give me tea without milk.
The noun after बिना ends in -क.
हम बिना चीनीक चाह पिबैत छी।
I drink tea without sugar.
चीनीक has the joined -क.
बिना पानिक जीवन नहि होइत अछि।
There is no life without water.
बिना is used in a general statement.
नेना बिना चप्पलक बाहर गेल।
The child went outside without sandals.
बिना describes how the action happened.
ओ दूध बिना चाह पिबैत अछि।
She drinks tea without milk.
Speech may put बिना after the noun.
