संग

With Someone

Level 2Sounds Like saṅga

संग means together with, usually a person.

How It Works

With	Example
a noun	संगी संग (with a friend)
a pronoun	हमरा संग, ओकरा संग, हुनका संग
a possessive noun	रामक संग (with Ram)

Pronouns usually take their object forms before संग, so you say हमरा संग (with me), never हम संग. अहाँक संग is also correct.

संग is mostly for people. For a tool or a means, use सँ: कलम सँ लिखू (Write with a pen). The two words are different in Maithili even though English uses "with" for both.

The word संगी (friend) and the postposition संग look alike, but संगी is a noun.
