Asi (ਅਸੀਂ) is the Punjabi word for 'we'. It is the plural of main, 'I', and it means the speaker together with at least one other person. 'Asi ja rahe haan' means 'We are going', and 'asi Punjabi haan' means 'We are Punjabi'. It is one of the first words a learner needs. ## The origin of asi Asi is a very old word. Wiktionary traces it to the Sanskrit word asme, the locative form of vayam, 'we', from Proto-Indo-Iranian \*asmay, running back to the Proto-Indo-European root \*nsmed, 'us'. Hindi keeps a cousin of the same word in ham, 'we', and the old root is why 'we' words sound alike across so many languages of India and Europe. In Shahmukhi, the Perso-Arabic script used for Punjabi in Pakistan, asi is written اسیں. ## What are the forms of asi? Asi changes its shape depending on its job in the sentence. The plain form, asi, is the subject: 'asi aaye', we came. The oblique form is asan, used before postpositions: 'asan naal', with us. When something is given to us, Punjabi says saanu: 'saanu ki chahida hai?', what do we need? When something comes from us, it is saathon: 'saathon puchho', ask us. And to say that something belongs to us, the word is sada: 'eh sada ghar hai', this is our house. ## Asi in everyday phrases Asi turns up in the small phrases that fill a Punjabi day. 'Asi kithe ja rahe haan?' asks 'Where are we going?', 'asi chaah pee rahe haan' says 'we are having tea', and 'asi kal aavange' says 'we will come tomorrow'. A family plans together with 'asi saare chaliye', let us all go, and a host welcomes guests with 'asi tuhada swagat karde haan', we welcome you. Once you know asi and its partner tusi, 'you', you can hold a polite conversation in Punjabi. ## Related words [ਮੈਂmainI; me (first-person singular pronoun)](https://jugti.com/kosh/words/main/)[ਤੁਸੀਂtusiYou (polite, plural)](https://jugti.com/kosh/words/tusi/)[ਤੂੰtuYou (informal, intimate, singular)](https://jugti.com/kosh/words/tu/)[ਤੁਹਾਡਾtuhadaYour; yours (polite, plural)](https://jugti.com/kosh/words/tuhada/)[ਮੇਰਾmeraMy; mine](https://jugti.com/kosh/words/mera/) Advertisement Sources (1) 1.
