Cláusulas Relativas: Usando 'Jo... Vo' (El que... Ese)
jo o jis presenta el detalle, y una palabra con 'V' como vo o us conecta todo con la oración principal.
Grammar Rule in 30 Seconds
Use 'Jo' (who/which) to introduce a clause and 'Vo' (that/he/she) to refer back to it.
- Start with 'Jo' for the person/thing being described: 'Jo ladka vahan hai...' (The boy who is there...)
- Follow with 'Vo' to complete the main clause: '...vo mera bhai hai.' (...he is my brother.)
- Ensure the case of 'Jo' matches the role in the relative clause (e.g., 'Jisne' for ergative).
