Introduction:
In Nepali grammar, Bibhakti (cases) are essential for showing the relationship between nouns, pronouns, and other words in a sentence. They help us understand “who is doing what, to whom, for whom, and with what.” This video provides a simple explanation of the different Bibhakti in Nepali with examples, making it easier for learners to grasp and use them in daily conversation.
CASES(BIBHAKTI)
Bibhakti are small words or endings that show the role of a noun in a sentence.
In English, we use prepositions like ‘to,’ ‘from,’ ‘with,’ or we change word order.
In Nepali, we put these markers after the noun — and they are super important for making correct sentences
