पड़ब
Having to
The -ए form with पड़ब says that someone has to do something.
How It Works
| Time | Example |
|---|---|
| future | हमरा जाए पड़त। |
| past | हमरा जाए पड़ल। |
| present habit | हमरा रोज जाए पड़ैत अछि। |
The person who has to act is हमरा, अहाँ केँ, ओकरा, बउआ केँ, and so on. The verb is the same for everyone (पड़त, पड़ल, पड़ैत अछि), except that a respected person takes -नि: हुनका जाए पड़लनि.
Make the infinitive by adding -ए to the stem: जाए, खाए, करए, पढ़ए. We write every infinitive this way; books also have करय or करऽ.
पड़ब fits an outside need, such as a job, weather or illness. To say you want to do something, use चाहब. To say you can, use सकब.
