-पासून … -पर्यंत

From … to

Level 2Sounds Like pāsūna … -paryanta

Each ending can also be used alone, and it stays joined to its word: -पासून gives a start, and -पर्यंत gives an end.

How It Works

The usual order is start, end, verb.

StartEndMeaning
सोमवारपासूनशुक्रवारपर्यंतfrom Monday to Friday
सकाळपासूनसंध्याकाळपर्यंतfrom morning to evening
घरापासूनशाळेपर्यंतfrom home to school
पुण्यापासूनमुंबईपर्यंतfrom Pune to Mumbai

Each word takes its joining shape first, so घर becomes घरापासून and शाळा becomes शाळेपर्यंत.

Ask about the stretch with कधीपासून कधीपर्यंत? (from when to when?) or कुठपासून कुठपर्यंत? (from where to where?).

Use only -पासून when the end is open: सोमवारपासून शाळा सुरू आहे. Use only -पर्यंत when the start does not matter: रविवारपर्यंत थांबा.

The verb can be any verb: चालू असते (is open), लागतात (it takes), असतो (it lasts).

A negative sentence works the same way: आम्ही सकाळपासून संध्याकाळपर्यंत घरी नसतो. Both endings join their words, and the verb comes last in the usual order.

    The pair frames a distance.

  4. मी एकपासून दहापर्यंत मोजते.

    I count from one to ten. A woman is speaking.

  5. पावसाळा जूनपासून सप्टेंबरपर्यंत असतो.

    The monsoon lasts from June to September.

    The pair frames a stretch of months.

Common Mistakes

  • Using -हून for a day.

    ऑफिस सोमवारहून शुक्रवारपर्यंत चालू असते.
    ऑफिस सोमवारपासून शुक्रवारपर्यंत चालू असते.

    A day takes -पासून, and -हून is for places a journey starts from.

  • Writing the endings as separate words.

    मी सकाळ पासून संध्याकाळ पर्यंत कामात असतो.
    मी सकाळपासून संध्याकाळपर्यंत कामात असतो.

    Both endings join their words.
