Lets Learn Bangla

Time to move ahead

o = also
aar = and

perhaps u meant chhoto aar shundor?

bangla bhaasha bodo mishti, bodo shundor.
Porontu 'practice' chaaee. (needed)

Yes......What I wanted to mean was 'Small, but beautiful too.....'......or 'small & beautiful'....And with the existing list of words I had learnt from you....the 'closest' I could get was 'Small, ALSO Beautiful' (Chhoto O Shundor) Hehehehe.....But I knew you would very well understand my problem on reading it.... hehehe Didn't know the word for "AND"......and Mishti means Sweet, I guess?

Khoob Practice Chaaee....

You are getting better, and how
mishti = sweet , that's right.

Remember a simple pronunciation rule:
when 2 'o' come in a word (bodo), the first o is pronounced as in 'clock', and the second as in 'cloak'.
Come to think of it, all o's that are second vowels go the way of 'cloak'.
Shundor, bheeshon...
getting it?

(Hey some real Bongo bondhus pls take over from here )

GKS - how will u pronounce 'bongo' and 'bondhu' now?

Wow!!!! Great going!!! Today seems to be my marathon day in leanring Bangla....Maximum learning today!!! Thanks...and keep it coming....

I guess in Bongo...the first 'O' will go the way of clock and the second (the one after G...) will go the way of cloak.....Hence...Pronunciation very similar to 'Bodo'..... Will be Bongo...(the way we pronounce the percussion instrument of the same name... )

Bondhu...well.....has only one 'O'...which also happens to be the first vowel.....hence......will go the 'clock' way... .......

Aami barobar aache???

Eehh Bondhu??? Kee Korche??? Bangla Forum Khoob Chupp Aache....???

Ehh Mandrake!!!! Hamein Is 'Ghor Ondhokaar' Mein Akele Chodke Jaa rahe ho????? Yeh Saraasal Naa-insaafi hai!!! Not Fair!!!

Relax GKS !!!

Even though I may not be too well qualified, I can safely say Divya is no better

Pls read her post. She calls me Marathi BODHU!!!

Bodhu = bride

and 'teach korchee'???? That's 'I teach'!!
She should have said 'teach korchhey'.

How can I leave you in the hands of such a person?

(though let me confess right here that it is a typo. Bondhu is what she meant)

That inspires me to the next lesson:

Aami kori = I do
Tumi koro
Shey korey

Aamraa kori
Tomra koren
Shey koren

Tumi kee kori GKS?
Tumi kee kaaj kori? (kaaj = work)

Aami engineer. Tumi?
