How It Works

IdeaExample
knowहमरा बुझल अछि।
rememberहमरा मोन अछि।
hungryहमरा भूख लागल अछि।
afraidओकरा डर लागल अछि।

To ask, change the person: अहाँ केँ बुझल अछि? (Do you know?). For a respected person the verb ends in -नि: हुनका बुझल छनि.

The feeling word comes before लागल अछि: भूख (hunger), पियास (thirst), डर (fear), ठंढ (cold). Put नहि before बुझल to say you don't: हमरा नहि बुझल अछि.

Hindi uses मुझे मालूम है and मुझे भूख लगी है. The Maithili person form is हमरा.

Common Mistakes

  • Using हम as the subject.

    हम बुझल अछि।
    हमरा बुझल अछि।

    The knower takes the हमरा form.

  • Using the wrong person form with a feeling.

    हम भूख लागल अछि।
    हमरा भूख लागल अछि।

    Feelings come to the person, so the person takes हमरा.
