Talk:હોવું

Would you mind expanding this? Also, I was able to find Old Gujju but that's third person singular present, I don't know the infinitive. Thanks. —Aryaman (मुझसे बात करो) 23:42, 10 July 2017 (UTC)
 * I've been adding O. Guj verbs in their verbal noun forms, just to make it easy for modern Gujarati. But the verb is often presented as either a stem or its 3rd person singular, like that of Sanskrit, so I'm going to have to decide soon which would be the best way to keep the main verb lemma. I might just do 3rd person singular. For hovu there are 5 different attested variations of the verb, so I'll go through it and find the one most close to the Sauraseni and modern Guj. term for the main lemmas form.

 * Thanks so much! Old Hindi has the same problem, there's at least 3 variants of अहहि. —Aryaman (मुझसे बात करो) 00:41, 11 July 2017 (UTC)

to happen
So would this verb not be used in e.g. "There's going to be a party tomorrow"? That's interesting because in Hindi (from √as) and  (from √sthā most likely, where the past tense forms of hona came from) merged sometime between Apabhramsha and Old Hindi stages. I wonder if the merger happened in other Indic languages. —Aryaman (मुझसे बात करो) 21:33, 13 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Even होना there would represent the sense to exist instead of to happen. कल पार्टी है/होगी - there is a party tomorrow wouldn't you say? In any case, I would say (and have heard) કાલે પાર્ટી છે, and less frequently કાલે પાર્ટી હશે, but થશે would never be used there. DerekWinters (talk) 21:08, 15 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Been a long time now, lol, I forgot to respond I guess. What about मेरे सिर में दर्द हो रहा है, देश में अशांति फैली हुई है etc? Also, could you expand, I'm not sure if it is a verb or a particle. —AryamanA (मुझसे बात करें • योगदान) 20:15, 11 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Hi. મારાં માથાંમાં દુખાવો (થાય) છે, દેશમાં અશાંતિ ફેલાય ગઈ છે. I'll try with નથી. DerekWinters (talk) 03:26, 21 December 2017 (UTC)
