QUOTE(gkshyam @ Jun 13 2005, 01:06 PM) WOW....Good progress.....Bhalo Bhalo.....(does that mean nice???) HEHE.....Just trying my hand at something new.......please contniue the classes..... Bhalo is 'good'. Bheeshon bhalo is 'very good'. GK ji, let me point out something interesting (to me): Bheeshon is the same word that is 'bheeshan' in marathi. But in marathi, 'bheeshan' has a very negative shadow. 'Bheeshan' is used as 'horrible'. 'Bheeshan apaghaat' is 'horrible accident'. But in Bangla, bheeshon is used with good words, as in 'bheeshon shundor' - very beautiful. A word-to-word translation of 'bheeshon shundor' in marathi would be 'horribly beautiful' Self - belief is the most potent force.

Hey!!!! That is so very different usage of the same word in two different languages .......from two different extremes (West and East) of the same country.......Really surprising to note the same word used both in a very positive sense as well as a negative term....Guess what would be the case if Sundar (Shundor) might have carried some other meaning in Marathi!!!!

OK GKS, here you go:
Aami thaaki = I stay/live Aami Kolkaataay thaaki = I live in Kolkata Aami Mumbaitey thaaki = I live in Mumbai Aami Bangalorey thaaki = I live in Bangalore The rule is simple: Names ending in 'aa' will have an 'aay' as suffix (pronounced like the letter 'I') Names ending in 'ee' will have 'tey' as suffix (soft 'tey' as in rishtey/naatey) Names ending in 'uh' (as in Bangalore/Nagpur/Gangtok) will have 'ey' as suffix (same 'ey' as in risht-ey/naat-ey) So where do you live? Self - belief is the most potent force.

Oh WOWWW!!!! My first Bangla Grammar lessons!!! Thanks so much Mandrake!!! Good going..... Bheeshon Bhaalo...
Btw.....Aami Mumbaitey Thaaki Tumi Pan Mumbaitey Thaaki na?? (I know first two words are Marathi......couldn't get that sentence in a better manner... ) But this is how I plan to learn.....by trying out.....(the permutation-combination technique;)) So....keep correcting me.....and start giving more regular lessons...(as today) And Nimmi.....going by your post on Guru's song.....and Mandrake's translation.......it should mean...."Live..O..Live.....O Live Live..(Re)"??? (Or was it something to do with the philosophical context of 'Live and Let Live' ???? Love Music....... LOVE GK

HR ji, Bangla uses the Bramhi script. This is very common in the eastern states. Bramhi (pronounced 'braamhi') comes from Bramha, the god. In the same region is the Mighty river Bramhaputra. It might interest you to know (or you may already know it), that Burma was formerly Bramhadesh. The eastern part of India was Bramha's territory. That's why the rare (I guess one and only) Bramha temple in Pushkar, Rajasthan evokes so much surprise. Self - belief is the most potent force.

QUOTE(gkshyam @ Jun 27 2005, 12:15 PM) GKS, you'll be surprised you are almost right. Tumi = you (so you were correct here) For also, the word is 'o'. Tumi o thaako. Aami mumbaitey thaaki. Tumi mumbaitey thaako Shey mumbaitey thaakey (shey rhymes with they - shey is he/she) Aamraa thaaken (we) (...ken rhymes with 'men') Tomraa thaaken (you plural) shey thaaken (they) Self - belief is the most potent force.

Yes, the 'bhaalo shahar' was fine That also brings to mind the brevity of bangla grammer. It is a good city - english woh achchha shahar hai - hindi tey changley shahar aahe - marathi shey bhaalo shahar - bangla see how they do away with 'is'. Often, bangla sentences sound clipped, because of this economy of words. However, one is always free to use the longer sentence. Aamar baadi bodo aachhe (My house big is) Tomaar baadi? Bodo, ki chhoto? Self - belief is the most potent force.
