| Phrase | Meaning |
|---|---|
| घर र स्कुलको बीचमा | between the house and the school |
| बजारको बीचमा | in the middle of the market |

For between two things, name both with र and put को after the last: दाइ र दिदीको बीचमा (between my elder brother and my elder sister).

वरिपरि means all the way around. It can also stand alone: वरिपरि हेर्नुहोस् (look around).
Without मा, बीच means the middle, and is used with other endings: बीचबाट जानुहोस् (go through the middle). Learn बीचमा first.
