In Nepali grammar, an infinitive is the base form of a verb, typically preceded by the word ‘to’ in English. Infinitives in Nepali, however, do not have a direct « to » equivalent. These are often identified by the suffix « -नु » (nu). They can serve several functions within a sentence – acting as the subject of the sentence, as an object following the verb, or following adjectives. Understanding the usage of Infinitives is a key element in learning Nepali grammar.
