کے پاس

Having or Being Near

Level 1

Read the possessor phrase before کے پاس and let the following noun show what is present.

How It Works

میرے پاس ایک چابی ہے means I have a key. The key is what exists in my possession.

دکان کے پاس درخت ہے means there is a tree near the shop. The place phrase names a nearby point.

For several items, میرے پاس دو چابیاں ہیں uses plural ہیں with the items possessed.

Use context to distinguish physical nearness from possession; the same phrase can support both.

Examples (4)

  1. میرے پاس ایک چابی ہے۔

    The key is the item possessed.

  2. دکان کے پاس درخت ہے۔

    There is a tree near the shop.

    کے پاس marks a nearby place.

  3. میرے پاس دو چابیاں ہیں۔

    I have two keys.

    The two keys are the items possessed, so use ہیں.

  4. آپ کے پاس پانی ہے؟

    Do you have water?

    Respectful possessor phrase is followed by the item and form of “to be”.
