Etymology edit

Related to जाल्लो (jāllo) and Marathi झाले (jhāle). The contracted form āle (see below) is possibly related to Old Marathi *𑘁𑘮𑘩𑘹𑘽 (*āhaleṃ, regularly inflected perfective of the defective verb 𑘁𑘮𑘜𑘹 (āhaṇe)).

Pronunciation edit

  • IPA(key): /zɑː.lɛ/
  • Often pronounced [‿ɑː.lɛ] in colloquial speech, when preceded by a vowel: किदें जाले?[ki.d̪ɛ̃‿ɑː.lɛ?]What happened?

Verb edit

जाले (jāle) (Latin script zalem, Kannada script ಜಾಲೆ)

  1. neuter singular perfect indicative of जाव्चे (jāvce, to happen)
