दिनभरि
All Day and All Night
भरि means all through a stretch of time.
How It Works
भरि means all through. It joins the time word before it and makes one word:
| Word | Meaning |
|---|---|
| बिहानभरि | all morning |
| दिनभरि | all day |
| रातभरि | all night |
| हप्ताभरि | all week |
| वर्षभरि | all year |
It works with any tense: रातभरि पानी पर्यो (it rained all night), म वर्षभरि नेपाली पढ्छु (I study Nepali all year).
The time word stays plain, with no postposition. Say दिनभरि, not दिनमा भरि. For a part of a day, use the matching word: बिहानभरि is all morning and बेलुकाभरि is all evening. The verb usually shows an action that keeps going, such as work, rain, study or play.
