Source: BuddhaSasana: Concise Pali-English Dictionaryyagghe : (adj.) hortative particle used in addressing a superior person.
Source: Sutta: The Pali Text Society's Pali-English DictionaryYagghe, (indecl.) (similar in formation & meaning to tagghe (q. v.). It is yaṃ (yad)+gha, the latter in a Māgadhised form ghe, whereas taggha (=tad+gha) only occurs as such) hortative part, used in addressing a (superior) person in the Voc. followed by Pot. of jānāti, either 2nd jāneyyāsi, or 3rd sg. jāneyya; to be translated somewhat like “look here, don’t you know, ” surely, you ought to know; now then; similarly to part. yaṃ nu, yaṃ nūna & yaṃ hi. The part. is found in the language of the Nikāyas only, thus indicating part of the oldest & original dialect. E. g. : y. bhante jāneyyāsi Vin. I, 237; yagghe deva jāneyyāsi yo te puriso dāso ... so ... pabbajito do you know, Oh king D. I, 60 (trsl. : “if it please your majesty, do you know ... ”; DA. I, 169 explains as “codan’at‹11›the nipāto”); y. ayye jāneyyāsi M. II, 62; mahārāja j. M. II, 71; id. S. I, 101; y. bhavan jāneyya S. I, 180.—The passage M. II, 157 is somewhat doubtful where we find y. with the ind. and in var. forms (see v. l.) of yagghi & taggha: “jānanti pana bhonto yagghe ... ” with reply “na jānāma yagghe ... ” Perhaps the reading taggha would be preferable.

Pali is the language of the Tipiṭaka, which is the sacred canon of Theravāda Buddhism and contains much of the Buddha’s speech. Closeley related to Sanskrit, both languages are used interchangeably between religions.
