What does "बस्थ्याे" mean in English?
Here is the context: एउटा पुरानाे घरमा कुखुराकाे भाले बस्थ्याे।
This sentence is from a Nepali children's book. I can't find "बस्थ्याे" in any of my Nepali-English dictionaries... Does anyone know? :D

Just a word "बस्थ्याे" means "used to stay".
So this sentence "एउटा पुरानाे घरमा कुखुराकाे भाले बस्थ्याे " meant to say " there used to live a rooster in an old house".
