The aim of the present paper is to describe different processes of transitive and intransitive verb compounding in Bodo language. Bodo belongs to Bodo-Garo sub-group of the Tibeto-Burman sub family of languages (Benedict, 1972). Compound is a word formation process where the words are formed by two or more roots. 'Verb + Verb' compounding is a very common in Bodo-Garo group of languages. The paper tries to focus on the compounding processes of transitive and intransitive verb in Bodo. Here will describe the verb compounding processes like 'transitive + intransitive verb', 'transitive + transitive verb', 'transitive + transitive + transitive verb', 'transitive + intransitive + intransitive verb', 'intransitive + intransitive verb' . It will look into the description how the verbs are compounded in the 'V1 + V2' and 'V1 + V2 + V3' constructions. This analysis of verbal compounding in Bodo will help us understanding verb formation in Bodo in particular and other Bodo group in general.
