Namaste,
-वाला(vaalaa),-वाली(vaalee),- वाले(vaale) - suffix. Go with noun, adverb and verb.
You don’t find suffix by itself.
The 3 examples below are from the lessions.
1. हमारे पास यहवाली अभाग्यवश सिर्फ़ छत्तीस माप में है ।
Humare paas yehvaali abhagyavach sirf chattis maap mein hai.
Unfortunately, we only have this one left, in size 36.
यहवाली yehvaali = this one.
2. मैं एक दूधवाली चाय लेना पसंद करूँगा , धन्यवाद ।
Main ek doodhvaali chai lena pasand karunga, dhanyavaad.
I’d like a cup of tea with milk, thanks.
दूधवाली - doodhvaali - milky – also could mean a milkwoman.
3. वे लम्बे बालोंवली मेरी चाचीजी है ।
Weh lambe baalonvaali meri chachiji hai.
The long-haired woman is my aunt.
Weh lambe baalonvaali- The long-haired one.
Here is another example of vaale:
सब कुछ ऊपरवाले के हाथ में है। Sab kuch uuparvaale ke hath me hai. Everything is in God’s hand(s).
Uuparvaale meaning ‘ the one up there’=God.
घर ghar house + suffix vaalaa or vaali
घरवाला – gharvaalaa - master or owner of a house.
घरवाली – gharvaali(ee)- wife.
Good luck in your learning Hindi!
Namaste.
