Re:Hi ********NIRMAL KUNDU********* from ZEENAT MIAH
HI,ZEENAT!! ............ FROM NIRMAL.
As I told you in my earlier message....I am impressed by your eagerness to learn Bengali.I saw your message no. 37256 dt. Sept.,28 and also dt. Sept.07. Now let's do real work.
2. First please note there are two letters very close to each other,namely; CH and CHH ......pl. get the sounds from your little B-I-L.
3.Example; CHA = TEA, CHABI = KEY, CHITHI = LETTER, CHOR = THIEF.
CHHOBI = PHOTO/PICTURE ,CHHELE = BOY, CHHOY = SIX.
Could you get the difference? ....now pronounce and memorise.
4. LET ME NOW COME BACK TO YOUR Q ABOUT 'ACHE' 'ACHEN'etc
......These will be 'ACHHE' 'ACHHEN'etc.
5. Example:- AMI ACHH(I)=I AM THERE, TUMI ACHH(O)= YOU ARE THERE, SHE ACHH(E)=HE/SHE IS THERE, APNI(formal of YOU)ACHH(EN), TARA ACHH(E)= THEY ARE THERE.......endings are put into the bracket.
6. Now you add the word BHALO=GOOD/WELL to the above sentences.
7.Ex: AMI BHALO ACHHI, TUMI BHALO ACHHO?=
I'm well(O.K), you(intimate form) are well?
SHE BHALO ACHHE, APNI BHALO ACHHEN?
He is well(O.K), you are O.K?
TARA(THEY) BHALO ACHHE, AMI BHALO NEI(=I AM NOT WELL)
SOBAI BHALO ACHH(E)= ALL of them are well,
SOBAI BHALO ACHH(I)=ALL of us are well
KEYU(NOBODY)BHALO NEI= no one is well
(NEI= NOT THERE).
.......Do see the endings?
Now try those immediately on your HUBBY & M-I-L.
Let's give an interval here...to your AISWARIYA RAI also!!!! Nirmal
N.B. Please give me your feedback.See my HANGMAN Please!!
