Particle: नेर (nera)
|
नेर (nera/ spelt: nay-ruh) roughly translates into ‘near’ or ‘close by’. It has an alternative spelling, which is ‘निर’ (nira) which is spelt as ‘nee-rah’ or ‘ni-rah’. Stictly speaking context wise, it is used when objects are close by the object you are talking about, so you can’t use this of objects are like…..far.
Also, I say ‘nira’ in everyday speech so I will use ‘nira’ in my examples instead of ‘nera’. |
