Lesson 60: Your Honor

Index · Lesson 59: One's Own · Lesson 61: The Friend

भवान् means “you,” said to a man at the तपाईं level. The verb is the “he” form: भवान् पठति, भवान् गच्छतु. Lesson 18: The Past already uses भवान् that way. This lesson is the other jobs.

भवान् does not follow छात्रः. The subject has no visarga after न्. भवती, said to a woman, follows नदी.
