Verb Stem + ڈالنا
Doing Something Decisively or Thoroughly
The first verb names the action; ڈالنا adds emphasis.
How It Works
This compound can emphasize an action’s extent: سارا نقشہ بدل ڈالا presents a complete change to the map. The surrounding words help explain what is extensive.
With a feminine object, the later verb changes: فہرست بدل ڈالی. The first stem بدل stays unchanged.
The tone is stronger than a neutral report. It may suggest force, surprise or determination, but it does not always mean violence or anger.
