ਮਰਨਾ

Etymology

    Inherited from Prakrit 𑀫𑀭𑀇 (maraï), from Sanskrit मर॑ति (márati).

    Verb

    ਮਰਨਾ • (marnā) (intransitive)

    1. to die, to perish
    2. to wither, to decay (of plants)
    3. to die down, to subside (of wind)

    Usage notes

    Using the plain perfective participles (ਮੋਈਆ (moīā), or ਮਰਿਆ (mariā)) may come off as strange or even inappropriate depending on context (e.g. talking about someone's death). A light verb construction with ਜਾਣਾ (jāṇā), ਮਰ ਗਿਆ (mar giā), is more common colloquially.
