jaith

What jaith means

jaith is written جیٹھ in the Urdu script and means husband's elder brother in English. It is taught in the Meeting In-Laws lessons under In-Law Vocabulary.

You will also see it romanized as jeth. Urdu has no single standard romanization; the script spelling is the same.

Forms of jaith

jaith is masculine and does not end in -a, so it stays jaith before a postposition and in the plural. Only the oblique plural changes: jaithon.

Gender is taken from the course word list. The postposition rule is explained on the postpositions page, and how gender works on the noun gender page.
