We have learn WH-words in this lesson.
https://learnmarathiwithkaushik.com/courses/asking-wh-questions-in-gujarati/
Let’s see how preposition can be used along with WH-question words.
e.g. “With whom” , “For whom”,”By when”,”From where” etc. Here we used “with”,”for”,”by” to WH-question words “who”,”when”.
1) Prepositions with “Who”
“Who” is English is કોણ(koN) in Gujarati
Like pronouns, when prepositions are used with કોણ(koN) its form changes.
| Word in English | Pronoun in Gujarati | For prepositions with ની(nI) | For prepositions with ના(nA) | For prepositions with ને (ne) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Who | કોણ (koN ) | કોની (konI ) | કોના (konA ) | કોને (kone ) |
With whom -> કોની સાથે ? (konI sAthe )
For whom ? -> કોને માટે ? (kone mATe )
Because of whom ? -> કોને કારણે (kone kAraNe )
Instead of whom -> કોને બદલે (kone badale )
2) Prepositions with “When”
“When” in English is ક્યારે(kyAre) in Gujarati. It changes to ક્યાર(kyAr) for using prepositions.
Only time related prepositions will be used with it.
From when -> ક્યાર થી (kyAra thI )
Till when -> ક્યાર સુધી (kyAra sudhI )
3) Prepositions with “Where”
“Where” in English is ક્યાં (kyAM ) in Gujarati. It remains same when using prepositions.
Only place related prepositions will be used with it.
From where -> ક્યાં થી (kyAM thI )
Till where -> ક્યાં સુધી (kyAM sudhI )
4) Prepositions with “What”
“What” in English is શું (shuM ) in Gujarati. Few prepositions can be used as follows :-
For what ? -> શા માટે ( shA mATe )
In what -> શેમાં (shemAM)
Of what -> શેની ( shenI )
5) For other WH-words it is not natural to use prepositions. Will add examples if I find good examples.
