-ए भने
If with भने
-ए भने makes a simple if clause about something that may really happen.
How It Works
The condition comes first, and the result follows. The result can be a plain present, a future or a command.
| Verb | Condition |
|---|---|
| पर्नु | परे भने |
| हुनु | भए भने |
| आउनु | आए भने |
| पाउनु | पाए भने |
| खानु | खाए भने |
The verb before भने has no person ending in the -ए form. For a different doer, change the doer only: तिमी आए भने म खुसी हुन्छु, तपाईं आउनुभयो भने म पनि आउँछु.
भने is a separate word. Do not join it to the verb. A shorter form leaves out भने: पानी परे म जाँदिनँ, but speakers use भने a lot to keep the sense clear.
For a stronger if, add यदि at the start. For an unreal if (if it had rained), use the later patterns.
Examples (5)
- पानी परे भने म जाँदिनँ।
If it rains, I will not go.
परे भने is the condition.
- तिमी आए भने म खुसी हुन्छु।
If you come, I will be happy.
The same form is used for any doer.
- टिकट पाए भने हामी जान्छौँ।
If we get tickets, we will go.
पाए भने is the condition.
- मलाई समय भयो भने म आउँछु।
If I have time, I will come.
भयो भने is a past form of the condition.
- तपाईं आउनुभयो भने म पनि आउँछु।
If you come, I will come too.
With तपाईं the polite form is used.
Common Mistakes
Joining भने to the verb.
पानी परेभने म जाँदिनँ।पानी परे भने म जाँदिनँ।भने is a separate word.
Using the past for the result of an open condition.
पानी परे भने म गइनँ।पानी परे भने म जाँदिनँ।The rain has not come yet, so the result is present or future, not past.
