〜に/から〜をもらいます (~ ni/kara ~ o moraimasu) — receive ~ from ~

The pattern for receiving something from someone.

Formula (सूत्र ढाँचा)

Grammar rule (व्याकरण नियम र परिभाषा)

To receive something from someone, use 「〜に/から〜をもらいます」. Mark the giver with に or から (both work, "from"), the thing received with を, then もらいます (receive). Example: ともだちに本をもらいます (tomodachi ni hon o moraimasu) = "I receive a book from my friend." It is the opposite of あげます "give" — here I am the one receiving.
