How It Works

पर means on or at.

MaithiliMeaning
टेबुल परon the table
दोकान परat the shop
गाछ परon the tree
घर परat home

घर पर means at home, and घर मे means inside the house. Both are used.

पर can also mean about: एहि बात पर (about this matter).

The noun does not change before पर. Pronouns use their object forms: हमरा पर (on me), ओकरा पर (on him).

Use पर when something sits on a surface, stands at a place, or when you talk about a topic. Learners often reach for मे first, so check whether the thing is on top of something.
