इकडे / तिकडे / उजवीकडे / डावीकडे
Directions and Sides
इकडे, तिकडे, उजवीकडे and डावीकडे end in -कडे and are written as one word.
How It Works
| Word | Meaning | Example |
|---|---|---|
| इकडे | this way, over here | इकडे या. |
| तिकडे | that way, over there | तिकडे बघा. |
| उजवीकडे | to the right | उजवीकडे वळा. |
| डावीकडे | to the left | डावीकडे बँक आहे. |
| सरळ | straight | सरळ जा. |
The same word can say where something is (डावीकडे बँक आहे) or where to go (डावीकडे वळा).
Directions to a stranger use the -ा form of the command: वळा (turn), जा (go), या (come). To a friend, use the bare stem: वळ, जा, ये.
Add मग (then) to put the steps in order: सरळ जा, मग डावीकडे वळा.
इकडे and तिकडे also tell a side or a direction where something happens: तो तिकडे राहतो (he lives over there). इथे and तिथे name a fixed spot.
To ask for directions, start with the place: बँक कुठे आहे? The answer is a chain of these words: सरळ जा आणि उजवीकडे वळा.
