Reading Maithili News

Level 6Sounds Like samācāraka bhāṣā

News writing packs the description before the noun and uses the passive.

How It Works

News Maithili is a style of its own. Sentences are long, and the description of a noun comes before the noun, not after it.

Piece	Example	Job
Doer	सरकार द्वारा	by the government
Description	कएल गेल	made
Noun	घोषणा	announcement

The whole phrase सरकार द्वारा कएल गेल घोषणा sits before the verb of the sentence.
Verbs are often passive: कएल जाएत, बाँटल गेल.
Words are formal: सार्वजनिक, उद्घाटन, प्रभावित.

To read it, find the main verb at the end, then work backward to see what was described. Do not translate the phrase left to right; take it as one block. After a few headlines, the pattern becomes familiar.
