सिक्नेहरूलाई अलमल्याउने प्रिपोजिसन

प्रिपोजिसन विरलै भाषाहरूबीच उस्तै बस्छन्, त्यसैले यिनलाई सिधै अनुवाद गर्दा वर्षौंसम्म रहिरहने गल्ती बन्छन्। यी सबैभन्दा पहिले सच्याउन लायक हुन्। नेपालीमा प्रिपोजिसनको सट्टा पोस्टपोजिसन हुन्छन् (मा, बाट, लाई, सँग), र एउटै “मा” ले in/on/at तीनवटैको काम गर्छ — त्यसैले अंग्रेजीमा तीनवटा फरक शब्द छान्नु नेपाली भाषीका लागि विशेषगरी कठिन हुन्छ।

क्रिया + प्रिपोजिसन

यी जोडी तय छन्। यिनमा कुनै तर्क छैन — यिनलाई एकाइझैँ सिक्नुहोस्।

सही	आम गल्ती
depend on	depend of
listen to	listen to nothing
wait for	wait for nothing
arrive at (ठाउँ) / in (सहर)	arrive to
look for (खोज्नु)	search for nothing
ask for (माग्नु)	ask for nothing
belong to	belong of
apologise for	apologise about
succeed in	succeed to
complain about	complain on
consist of	consist from
pay for	pay for nothing

ती क्रियामा ध्यान दिनुहोस् जसले अंग्रेजीमा कुनै प्रिपोजिसन लिँदैनन्, धेरै भाषामा लिए पनि:

• ✅ I'll phone you. ("phone to you" होइन)
• ✅ Let's discuss the budget. ("discuss about" होइन)
• ✅ She entered the room. ("entered in" होइन)
• ✅ I married him. ("married with" होइन)
• ✅ It affects the result. ("affects on" होइन)

विशेषण + प्रिपोजिसन

• interested in, good at, afraid of, proud of
• responsible for, similar to, different from
• worried about, keen on, aware of, capable of
• married to, famous for, dependent on

She's good at maths and interested in physics.

नाम + प्रिपोजिसन

नामका आफ्ना तय प्रिपोजिसन हुन्छन्, र यी लेखनमा निरन्तर देखिन्छन्।

नाम	प्रिपोजिसन	उदाहरण
reason	for	the reason for the delay
solution	to	a solution to the problem
increase / decrease	in	an increase in prices
effect / impact	on	the effect on sales
difference	between	the difference between them
interest	in	an interest in history
advantage	of	the advantage of waiting

समय: in, on, at

प्रिपोजिसन	यसका लागि प्रयोग गर्नुहोस्	उदाहरण
at	घडीको समय, रात	at 6pm, at night
on	दिन र मिति	on Monday, on 5 May
in	महिना, वर्ष, लामो अवधि	in July, in 2026, in the morning

सम्झनलायक अपवाद: at night, तर in the morning / afternoon / evening।

अलमल्याउने जोडी

• for + अवधि / during + कुनै घटना: for two hours · during the meeting
• by = त्यो मितिपछि होइन / until = त्यो क्षणसम्म: Finish it by Friday (म्याद) · Wait until Friday (पूरै समय)
• since + सुरुवात बिन्दु / from … to एउटा अवधिका लागि: since 2016 · from nine to five
• in + भविष्यको एउटा अवधि: I'll be back in ten minutes. ("after ten minutes" होइन)

ठाउँ: in, on, at

• in — कुनै वस्तुभित्र: in the box, in London
• on — कुनै सतहमा: on the table, on the wall
• at — एउटा बिन्दु वा कार्यक्रममा: at the bus stop, at the meeting

I'll meet you at the station, on platform 3, in the waiting room.

गति बनाम अवस्थिति

गतिलाई प्रायः to, into वा onto चाहिन्छ; अवस्थितिले in, at वा on प्रयोग गर्छ।

• I went to the office. / I was at the office.
• She walked into the room. / She was in the room.

दुई क्रियाले यो भत्काउँछन्: arrive ले at/in लिन्छ, कहिल्यै to होइन, र get ले to लिन्छ — I arrived at the airport · I got to the airport.

यातायात

साधनका लागि by, खास सवारीका लागि on / in:

• by car, by train, by bus, by plane — तर on the train, in the car, र on foot (कहिल्यै "by foot" होइन)।

यी व्याकरण होइनन्, शब्दभण्डार हुन्। कुनै नियमले depend on वा a solution to बनाउँदैन; प्रिपोजिसन शब्दकै भाग हो। पूरै टुक्रा सिक्नुहोस् — reason for, केवल reason होइन — र गल्ती आउन बन्द हुन्छ।

एउटा छोटो कुराकानीमा प्रिपोजिसन

A: What time do you arrive in London?

B: At half past six, if the train's on time. I'll wait for you at the barrier.

A: I might be late — it depends on the traffic.

B: No problem. I'll be there until seven anyway.

कुनै सहरमा arrive in, घडीको समयमा at, कुनै व्यक्तिका लागि wait for, कुनै कुरामा depend on, पूरै अवधिका लागि until — चार पङ्क्तिमा पाँचवटा फरक जोडी।
