-ने बित्तिकै
As Soon as Doing Something
-ने बित्तिकै means right after.
How It Works
बित्तिकै means immediately. After a -ने verb it says that the second thing followed at once.
- म घर पुग्ने बित्तिकै पानी पर्यो।
- ऊ उठ्ने बित्तिकै चिया खोज्छ।
- हामी बस चढ्ने बित्तिकै बस चल्यो।
The two clauses can have different doers. The first clause gives the signal, and the second clause is the quick result.
The -ने form does not change with person. Write बित्तिकै as its own word. Use -एपछि for the plain after: खाएपछि, and -ने बित्तिकै when it is right away. A negative first verb is not used with this pattern; say what did happen instead.
The pattern is common in stories and instructions, where one quick event leads to another.
