जस्तो ... त्यस्तै

Just as ... So

Level 4Sounds Like jastō ... tyastai

जस्तो ... त्यस्तै means just as ... so.

How It Works

जस्तो means of the kind that or as, and त्यस्तै means just like that. Together they say that the second thing matches the first.

  • जस्तो तिमीले भन्यौ, त्यस्तै भयो।
  • जस्तो आमाले भन्नुभयो, त्यस्तै मैले गरेँ।
  • जस्तो घर मैले सोचेको थिएँ, त्यस्तै भेट्टाएँ।

It is often used to say that a result matches a promise, an order or a plan. The doer in the first clause takes its usual marker.

The shorter way uses जस्तै after a noun or verb: तिमीले भनेजस्तै भयो. The pair above is the fuller form. It works for any kind of match: how something looks, how it is done, or how it turns out.

Examples (5)

  1. जस्तो तिमीले भन्यौ, त्यस्तै भयो।

    It turned out just as you said.

    जस्तो sets the manner and त्यस्तै matches it.

  2. जस्तो आमाले भन्नुभयो, त्यस्तै मैले गरेँ।

    I did just as Mother said.

    The two clauses have different doers.

  3. जस्तो तपाईं भन्नुहुन्छ, त्यस्तै होस्।

    Let it be just as you say.

    होस् makes the second clause a wish.

  4. जस्तो घर मैले सोचेको थिएँ, त्यस्तै भेट्टाएँ।

    I found a house just as I had imagined.

    The pair links a plan with the result.

  5. जस्तो मौसम होला, त्यस्तै लुगा लगाउनुहोस्।

    Dress to match the weather.

    होला is a guess inside the first clause.

Common Mistakes

  • A learner uses the question word कस्तो.

    कस्तो तिमीले भन्यौ, त्यस्तै भयो।
    जस्तो तिमीले भन्यौ, त्यस्तै भयो।

    जस्तो is the relative word, not कस्तो.
