Lesson 87: Whoever Reads
Index · Lesson 86: He Says This · Lesson 88: If He Should Read
Lesson 56: The One Who is the column. This lesson is the sentence. The यः clause comes first. The सः clause answers it. The case of य matches the job inside its own clause, not the job of सः.
यत्र means “where,” as a relative. तत्र is the answer, “there.” यदा means “when.” तदा means “then.” यथा means “as.” तथा means “so.”
| Sentence | Meaning |

| यः पठति सः जानाति। | Whoever reads knows. जो पढ्छ ऊ जान्दछ। |
| यम् अहं पश्यामि सः मम सखा अस्ति। | The man whom I see is my friend. यम् keeps म् because अहं starts with a vowel. |
| याम् अहं सेवे सा मम माता अस्ति। | The woman whom I serve is my mother. याम् keeps म् because अहं starts with a vowel. |
| यदा गुरुः आगच्छति तदा अहं तिष्ठामि। | When the teacher comes, I stand. |
