ਸੀ • (sī)
- past of ਹੋਣਾ (hoṇā)
Usage notes
This can be used for all persons (1st, 2nd, 3rd), genders (masculine, feminine), and numbers (singular, plural).
Instead of ਸੀ, some dialects use one or more of the person-/number-specific conjugations ਸਾਂ, ਸੈ, ਸੋ, and ਸਨ, which are formed by analogy with ਹਾਂ, ਹੈ, ਹੋ, and ਹਨ. For example, the Majhi dialect tends to use ਸਨ for the past-tense equivalent of ਹਨ (plural/formal 2nd/3rd person imperfective indicative conjugation of ਹੋਣਾ), and ਸੀ for all other cases (all other imperfective indicative inflections of ਹੋਣਾ).
