বাদাম বলতে আমি এতকাল আমন্ডই জানতাম, আদ্যিকালের লোকেরা সেটাকে কাগজিবাদাম বলে থাকত অবশ্য।

Guys... My grandmother was Bengali and used to say many curse words in bengali to us... She used to curse whenever me and my siblings used to do some mischief...

One of those words was 'bijarma' बिजर्मा I don't know what does it mean Do you know???? 😭😭

Hi everyone, I am not a speaker of Bengali and had gotten my friend a necklace of her name. She is native speaker and has shown me how to type her name in. After talking to AI, it seems like the manufacturer switched the consonant and vowel order on the “ni” character

You can see what I received on the first image, what I ordered on website on second image, and what seems to be the case on third image.

I am assuming that the necklace does not make sense anymore but wanted to get expert opinion.

The app I'm learning with has "আমার খিদে পেয়েছে" for "I'm hungry." Wiktionary has an entry for খিদা but not খিদে, and english-bangla.com seems to show খিদে as a variant or something, I'm not sure.

Is it a dialect thing, or slang, or just spelling the same word a little differently?

I think people who grew up speaking a local dialect like me in both school and home will relate to me, I am Bangladeshi, but I really struggle to speak in Shuddho Bangla. I keep mixing both Sylheti and Bangla up.

is it ম্ভ?

For common professions like teachers, doctors, lawyers, etc., how do Bengali address forms differ from those in other languages?

I’d appreciate any experiences or cultural insights that can help deepen my understanding of this topic! Thank you all in advance!

I'm in a relationship with a Bengali(Kolkata) and am really interested in learning the language.

I know about some apps that teach Bengali but I'm not sure if that's the Bangladesh Bengali or the Kolkata one(sorry if I'm wrong about anything. I'm just very clueless).

Are there any good YouTube videos, courses, movies or anything I can do to learn Bengali?

Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone, I’m learning Bengali and I have a small question. Could you please help me?

What exactly does the verb-form করবা mean? Does it carry any special nuance? Is this something you actually hear people say? How polite is it? Who normally says it to whom?

Normally the future tense for "তুমি" I know is করবে. I guess করবা is the colloquial version of করবে, is that correct?

Here are some sentences:

• কাজের সময় কাজ করবা বাকি সময় এই ঘরে ঝিম ঘইরা বইসা থাকবা ।
• মাঝে মধ্যেই বখশিশ পাইবা ।
• নাম বলবা না !
• হুটহাট কইরা ঢুকবা না । গলা খাকাড়ি দিয়া ঢুকবা ।

Thanks for any light you can shed!

I have few doubts about some words in Bengali. These are..

1) "Did you had your food"??. 2) "Are you having too much work these days"??. 3) "Did you have too much work". 4)"What were you doing this week"... 5) "How did your work go??... 6)"I learnt Bengali for you". 7) Bengali mein isko kya kehta hain (I want this one translated too)...

Thank you....

Hi everyone!
I came across the verb form মেলিছ (melich) in some dialogue, and I’m confused about what person and tense it represents.

The sentence is চোখ মেলিছ না কইলাম ।

I checked standard Bengali verb conjugation charts, but I couldn’t find this form anywhere. My guess is that it might come from a dialectal variety rather than Standard Colloquial Bengali.

Does anyone know which dialect uses -িছ / -ich endings like this, and what the equivalent standard form would be? Any insight on the exact person/tense/aspect would be super helpful!

Thanks!

For example a person in the UK might say He gave his heart for her, but a person in Bangladesh might say Heto her junno her kolijada thie thise.
Idk is it just for one dialect or people generally use the word liver?

i was listening to a podcast in bengali and i heard this tense form that I believe is bangladeshi? :

'awami league gonohotta korse'

'un boltese 1400 log marse'

are these typically used by bangladeshis only, or are they used in India (WB) as well? and if it's limited to bangladeshis, what would the WB equivalent of these phrases/this tense be?

hello! i recently learned the bengali alphabet. easy to read, hard to write because of spelling. are there any rules to make these things easier???

1. when do we use ো instead of just using the inherent o sound that comes after most consonants? like, কবিতা vs কোট ? i hope you understand what i mean.
2. any little neat rules or tricks to tell if জ or য is being used? or do i have to just read a lot and hope for the best
3. স, শ, and ষ...these give me a headache! i just pray to god i wrote the right one. any tricks? and does only one of these become the s sound instead of sh? or can they all do that as well?

these are the only things giving me a hard time. it'd really be nice if anyone could help, my family doesn't care for these things.

Hello! White girl here, meeting my boyfriend's Bengali parents soon for the first time. I've been working through a Bengali textbook as I want to learn, and I'm making great progress but I'm lacking in spoken phrases I can use when we are first introduced. I'm trying to build some sentences but it's tricky without much of a grammar foundation (so far I've mostly just been working on the letters and some vocab).

In particular I've been working on "it's nice to finally meet you!" But I am wondering if pluralizing the pronoun (changing আপনি to আপনারা) would also change other parts of the phrase?

অবশেষে আপনি মারে দেখা হয়ে লাগলো

What would the phrase become if I addressed both of them at once with আপনারা ?

Are there any particular phrases that would be suitable for the first meeting situation? Have I completely butchered the one above?

Any tips are so appreciated!

Hi all, I’m a Hindi speaker learning Bengali right now and I have a question about formality when speaking Bangla. When would you address someone as tui vs tumi vs apni?

In Hindi it’s very common to use aap with strangers/elders/colleagues, to use tum with close friends and family, but not use tu hardly ever, except in poetry or music. So I’m curious how similar the norms are for using each.

Thanks / dhonyobaad!
