Lesson 10: I and You
Index · Lesson 9: Neuter Plural · Lesson 11: We and You All
अहम् and त्वम् have been the subject words. This lesson is the other jobs of “I,” and of “you” at the तिमी level.
A teacher stays भवान् or भवती in the subject. “Your” for a man at the तपाईं level is the introduction’s line, भवतः नाम किम्। For a woman at that level: भवत्याः नाम किम्। भवत्याः means “your.”
