Grammar Rule in 30 Seconds

The '-ine' suffix connects two actions where one happens immediately before the other, like 'having done X, I did Y'.

  • Remove the verb ending and add '-ine' (ઈને). Example: 'Kha' (eat) becomes 'Khaine' (having eaten).
  • The subject of both verbs must be the same. Example: 'He ate and left' (Te khaine gayo).
  • It expresses sequence, not just 'and'. Example: 'Wash and dry' (Dhoine sukvo).
Verb Root + ઈને (ine) + Second Verb
