Plans with -ने: भोलि जाने?

Explanation

In everyday talk, a plan puts -ने on the verb: जानु → जाने "going", आउनु → आउने "coming", पढ्नु → पढ्ने "studying", गर्नु → गर्ने "doing". The -ने form is the same for everyone: म जाने, तपाईं जाने, हामी जाने. Questions keep it too: भोलि के गर्ने? "what are you doing tomorrow?", तपाईं पनि आउने? "are you coming too?" To say you are not going, put न- in front: म नजाने "I'm not going".

Examples

  • भोbhoलिliकेkeगgaर्नेrne?What are you doing tomorrow?
  • मmaआāजjaबbaजाjāरrजाjāनेne।I'm going to the market today.
  • तtaपाpāईंī̃पpaनिniआāउuनेne?Are you coming too?
  • मmaनnaजाjāनेne।I'm not going.

Going to do something: किन्न जाने

Explanation

To say what you are going for, the verb's -नु becomes -न: किन्नु → किन्न "to buy", खानु → खान "to eat", पढ्नु → पढ्न "to study". This -न comes before जाने or आउने: मासु किन्न जाने "going to buy meat", तरकारी किन्न जाने "going to buy vegetables". Mike said "किन्ने जाने": -ने is for the plan, -न for the purpose. Anita put it right: किन्न जाने.

Examples

  • तtaरrकाkāरीrīकिkiन्नnnaजाjāनेne।I'm going to buy vegetables.
  • बbaजाjāरrकिkiनnaजाjāनेne?माmāसुsuकिkiन्नnna।Why are you going to the market? To buy meat.
  • दाdāलlभाbhāतtखाkhāनnaआāउuनेne?Are you coming to eat dal bhat?
  • नेneपाpāलीlīपpaढ्नḍhnaजाjāनेne।I'm going to study Nepali.
