चाहैत छी जे
Wanting Someone Else to Act
After चाहब, use जे and the wish form of the verb to say you want someone else to act.
How It Works
The wish form depends on who will act.
| Who acts | Ending | Example |
|---|---|---|
| हम | -ी | बनी, करी, जाइ |
| ओ (respected) | -थि | आबथि, करथि, जाथि |
| ओ (plain) | -ए | पढ़ए, आबए, करए |
Examples:
- माय चाहैत छथि जे हम डाक्टर बनी। (Mother wants me to become a doctor.)
- हम चाहैत छी जे ओ आबथि। (I want him to come.)
- दादी चाहैत छथि जे बउआ पढ़ए। (Grandmother wants the little boy to study.)
- हम नहि चाहैत छी जे ओ जाथि। (I don't want him to go.)
The verb चाहब changes with the person who wants: चाहैत छी, चाहैत छथि, चाहैत अछि.
Hindi says "चाहती हूँ कि". Maithili uses जे, not कि.
Examples (5)
- माय चाहैत छथि जे हम डाक्टर बनी।
Mother wants me to become a doctor.
बनी: the wish form for हम.
- हम चाहैत छी जे ओ आबथि।
I want him to come.
आबथि: the wish form for a respected person.
- बाबूजी चाहैत छथि जे हम सभ गाम जाइ।
Father wants us to go to the village.
जाइ: the wish form for हम सभ.
- दादी चाहैत छथि जे बउआ पढ़ए।
Grandmother wants the little boy to study.
पढ़ए: the wish form for a plain person.
- हम नहि चाहैत छी जे ओ जाथि।
I don't want him to go.
नहि comes before चाहैत.
Common Mistakes
Using the Hindi कि after चाहब.
माय चाहैत छथि कि हम डाक्टर बनी।माय चाहैत छथि जे हम डाक्टर बनी।कि is Hindi here. Maithili uses जे.
