  • The clause that follows tells what the person or thing does: जे कियो आएत, ओकरा चाह दिअ।
  • When the person is respected, the verb is respectful: जे कियो एताह, हुनका चाह दिअ।
  • The sentence usually ends with a verb that matches the second part.

The phrase works at the start of a sentence, as in जे किछु भेल, नीके भेल. The speaker accepts what happened without choosing anything in particular. Hindi uses जो कोई and जो कुछ; Maithili uses जे कियो and जे किछु.
