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.
