The term āvīyo denotes a continuous tense, implying ‘all along’, as used in the following sentence – hu(n) tamone kaheto āvyo chhu(n), which means, I have been telling you along or I have told you all along.…

Kristen was a powerful asset to the team because she always asked questions and made sure clarity was present.…
