(I had no idea you were Bengali Saifur- Rahman!)
And Khosu is a type of vegetable that grows freely in BD, but you have to buy 'em in season down here...
Anyways,
Next: Khoy din duri matha kham khore na! Kitha khortham?!!!
EDIT: i wonder if F4I meant Mud village, mud house,(not mouse house lol! Anyway ghor means room in shuddho methinks, though we say kuta for rooms innit?)

My life is hanging off a rope? I'm not too good with Shuddho. Please clarify.

[The Ruler]

My life is hanging off a rope? I'm not too good with Shuddho. Please clarify.

Nope... That actually translated to "My life's rope is black". You understood the main words, so that's good.

Next word: Proshinho.

[Musaafirah]

Will you give me a clue? Please.

[The Ruler]

Will you give me a clue? Please.

Etto... It's one of the post icons.

[Musaafirah]

What, do you mean to go back? Or to go forward? :muddlehea

[The Ruler]

What, do you mean to go back? Or to go forward? :muddlehea

No no... If you try click on 'new reply' then scroll down, below 'trackback' are the 'post icons'. The word is bengali for one of the symbols there.

[Musaafirah]

Oh, question mark? Exclamation mark? Smiley face? Winky face? Grinny face? Sad face? Angry face? Thumps up? Cool dude face?????
(Am I starting to annoy thee?)

[The Ruler]

Question mark it is.

(Am I starting to annoy thee?)

Nope. I just read 'question mark' and ignored the rest. So it's all cool. Plus it'll take much more than that to annoy me. =)

[Musaafirah]

OH! YOU meant Proshno?!
AHAHAH! Oh my days, Allah knows what I was thinking!
I KNOW what that meant.

I KNOW what that meant.
Oh man.
Next: Uttor or jawab. (lol!)

erm...answer or question....? i thought it was one word at a time....lol

[The Ruler]

Uttor = answe
jawab = reply.

OH! YOU meant Proshno?!

Nope. I meant proshchinho or proshno chinho. Which means question mark.

:X I wonder why I wrote that...

shath-ta unusha(i)th baje.

Its 7:59...?

[The Ruler]

^Yah.

[Musaafirah]

Wow, shuddho looks amazing when it's written (Sounds Chinese when it's my aunt)
We want more Tag! Or Bro Saif, seeing as you got the correct um, phrase...

I sit and watch Iggle Piggle (?)

Amar sylhety bujhte koshto hoi... kintu amar monehoi ami bhaloi bekkha korte parchi. Thik na?

[Musaafirah]

Amar sylhety bujhte koshto hoi... kintu amar monehoi ami bhaloi bekkha korte parchi. Thik na?
I find it difficult to understand Sylhet, but I think that I'm ok with it so far...am I right?

Chuto bela ami shuddho kotha bolchi, shekane ashe, ami Sylheti kotha bolte, ar shuddho bolte pari na :(

[The Ruler]

Amar sylhety bujhte koshto hoi... kintu amar monehoi ami bhaloi bekkha korte parchi. Thik na?
I find it difficult to understand Sylhet, but I think that I'm ok with it so far...am I right?

Chuto bela ami shuddho kotha bolchi, shekane ashe, ami Sylheti kotha bolte, ar shuddho bolte pari na :(

kintu amar monehoi ami bhaloi bekkha korte parchi. Thik na? - But I think I can translate it fine, right?

Chuto bela ami shuddho kotha bolchi, - I spoke shuddho when I was young

shekane ashe - come there (?!) (If you're trying to say "after that", say 'tar por')

ami Sylheti kotha bolte, ar shuddho bolte pari na - I speak/spoke sylheti. Can't speak shuddho anymore.

Are you originally from sylhet?

[Musaafirah]

Sylhet district, but fam in BD originally used to speak Shuddho as a matter of politeness or something. Thing is, where I'm from now 95% of the locals are Sylheti, so we go with the flow..plus my dad's Sylheti, it was my mum that used to speak Shuddho...
(Next words, phrase please :))

[The Ruler]

^I see. I always thought that if you're sylheti, you speak sylheti regardless of where you are. Hmmm.

I was wondering... do any of you know any bengali poetry? Any famous bengali poets?

[Musaafirah]

Well, I guess my fam are weird then. The majority of my relatives on my mum's side speak Shuddho, the majority of my dad's family speak Sylheti, though there are some random people that speak Shuddho coz they were educated there.
And mum's side speak Shuddho, coz for a while they lived in Dhaka, but had to move to another city when the Bangladeshi's were being killed in the dead of the night. Also, my nana was a policeman. So they were the first targets.
Apart from Robindro Nat Tagore (However you spell it) and Kazi Nazrul Islam,
I confess I don't remember the names of other poets, I just remember random phrases of poetry..
Seeing as you're not going to give the next word/ phrase whatever
'Amader choto nodi chole bake bake....' (lol, I remember the good ol' days!)

[IbnAbdulHakim]

I was wondering... do any of you know any bengali poetry? Any famous bengali poets?

http://www.islamicboard.com/islamic-...balobasha.html

[IbnAbdulHakim]

just wanted to say i appreciate musaafirah/the ruler etc, its helping my bengali a lot. JazakIllah khair.

'Amader choto nodi chole bake bake....' (lol, I remember the good ol' days!)

my small river flows little little?

lol?

[kjra]

'Amader choto nodi chole bake bake....' (lol, I remember the good ol' days!)

Our small river flows/follows behind...... [ i think...not good with shuddo bangla! lol]

[The Ruler]

Musaafirah... Haha, that's one of the ones I was made to memorise when I was young. Including 'hat ti matim tim', 'chol chol chol' and other ones I forgot.

Do you guys know how to read bengali? Write it? How about the national anthem? Do you know that?

[Al-Hanbali]

Do you guys know how to read bengali? Write it? How about the national anthem? Do you know that?

Read: yhh kinda
Write: very little
Anthem: Never!

[IbnAbdulHakim]

its weird when i was in bangladesh i learned to read it, pretty fluently,

then i came back to london n forgot most of wat i learnt :S

[kjra]

Do you guys know how to read bengali? Write it? How about the national anthem? Do you know that?

I can't read or write in bengali......i can just about speak and understand the language! lol
I was good when i was a kid.....but i forgot everything now!

[Musaafirah]

I can read bangla and write (Had to do Bangla GCSE! :muddlehea)
As for the anthem: 'Amar shonar bangla, ami tumai Bhalobasheeeeeeeeeeeeeee....' lol
Right, are we to now exchange random poetry?

[The Ruler]

I can read bangla and write (Had to do Bangla GCSE! :muddlehea)

Really? I had to go and pick up bengali when I went back to Bangladesh. Bangla Literature is pretty hard. Harder than English Literature. Even though Bangla was my first language.

Right, are we to now exchange random poetry?

Not really. I was just wondering how much/to what extent you guys knew bengali. That's all. In my past three years after moving from the last town (in the UK), I've only seen Bengali people about 4/5 times. So I don't really know how my kind are.

[kjra]

Our small river flows/follows behind...... [ i think...not good with shuddo bangla! lol]

was i wrong???? :hmm:

[The Ruler]

^I'm not quite sure about 'bake bake' but the rest you've translated right.

Next: Hat ti ma tim tim
tara mathe pare dim
tader khara duto shing
tara hat ti ma tim tim

Leave the onomatopoeia as they are.

[Musaafirah]

Really? I had to go and pick up bengali when I went back to Bangladesh. Bangla Literature is pretty hard. Harder than English Literature. Even though Bangla was my first language.

Seriously, there are some real good Bangla literature out there. Thing is, I didn't quite appreciate the language as I had to study it. I know GSCE Bangla ain't all that, but my tutor insisted that I read around the topic and got me to write essays on the history of Bangladesh in English, then to translate it to bangla, :muddlehea.
Thing is, she was the type that was really really proud of being Bangla and all, quite a patriot :X

You make it sound like we're aliens! lol. Where I live currently (in reference to the area, not city, there is one Bengali family per road, average. In the different areas there is quite a cluster of a few families per road and we have

Bangla classes and all...
Next: Hat ti ma tim tim
tara mathe pare dim
tader khara duto shing
tara hat ti ma tim tim

Hat ti ma tim tim
On their heads they break eggs?
Then they have standing two horns?
they are hat ti ma tim tim?

That sounds weird. Either that or my Bangla's gone out the Bindow!

Next:
Meger kole rod hesheche
badol geche tuti
Aaj amader chuti
oh bhai,
Aaj amader chuti...
(Not sure if it's correcto..but oh well...Taggy can correct me innit?)

[IbnAbdulHakim]

... i havent got a clue.


aaj amader chuti - today is my day off? lol


meger kole rod hesheche - rain.. weather.. after .. :confused: ??

[The Ruler]

tara mathe pare dim = they lay eggs on the field. Mathe (the 't' is a strong 't') = field; mathai = head.

Meger kole rod hesheche
badol geche tuti
Aaj amader chuti
oh bhai,
Aaj amader chuti...

Second sentence = badol gacher tuti

Translation: The sun shines on the lap of the clouds
badol gach = oak tree (I think); I don't know what 'tuti' means though
It's our day off
Oh brother
It's our day off.

Sounds funny when you translate it. Heh.

Next:

Bhor holo dor kholo
khuku moni otho re
(... and I forgot the rest)

[Musaafirah]

The rains gone, the Suns laughing
and the second sentence: badol geche tuti (like the urdu word toot, to break!)
And the rest is fine..
not sure about the first sentence, but does the second one translate as
Wake up [enter name of bird]?

[The Ruler]

The rains gone, the Suns laughing

My translation was an error of typing and my thoughts. I knew 'hesheche' meant laughing. But when translating, I wasn't thinking.

Plus when you literally translate it, it does translate to 'the lap of the clouds'. "Kole" = the lap.

Bhor holo dor kholo
khuku moni otho re

Bhor holo dor kholo = It's dawn, open your door. (It's not literally door; here, it's referring to the eyelids)
Khukumoni otho re = Khukumoni wake up

Khukumoni is a common endearment used to address kids. Khuku = little child; Moni = Cornea (of the eye, I think. Or maybe the iris. I'm not too sure. It's like, when they sometimes refer to kids as 'amar chokher moni').

[Musaafirah]

I thought kole as in kula meant as in open?
Wow, you know a lot. Masha'allah.

[The Ruler]

I thought kole as in kula meant as in open?

Kole = lap; Khula = to open. Kole is spelt with the first alphabet of the second (long) set of letters whereas Khula is spelt with the second letter. You know... Kó Khó Gó Ghó Omo? Etc.

[lemon]

ami testing khorum (im jus testing)

[kjra]

ami testing khorum (im jus testing)

Kita testing kor-raye? lol:D

[Musaafirah]

Ahaha, testing testing...shobhai ason na ki?? kunano geso tumra????!!
(Aww man, don't know what dialect that was 'posed to be...:muddlehea)

[IbnAbdulHakim]

^ started off dhakai, ended of sylheti?

[Musaafirah]

^^Allah knows man. I confuzzle enough people in real life by adding in Urdu and English, sometimes without realising, but then in hindsight I think, 'Man! I could've avoided those words..*cringe*'
Anyway, amra game khelayram ni okhon?
(Oh and Dhakai isn't a dialect per se, methinks, as within Dhaka you'll come across people with differering accents, there'll be the 'Shuddho' people (Standard Bangla), Nuwakhali etc etc...which is also found in the different villages. Hast thou heard the Chottogram (Chittagong) accent? :muddlehea)

[The Ruler]

Ahaha, testing testing...shobhai ason na ki?? kunano geso tumra????!!
(Aww man, don't know what dialect that was 'posed to be...:muddlehea)

In shuddho the first part would be 'Shobai asen naki?'. Second part, "Tumra kothai geso/geyacho?". OR if you're more respectful, you'd use 'apnara' instead of 'tumra'.

(Oh and Dhakai isn't a dialect per se, methinks, as within Dhaka you'll come across people with differering accents, there'll be the 'Shuddho' people (Standard Bangla), Nuwakhali etc etc...which is also found in the different villages. Hast thou heard the Chottogram (Chittagong) accent?

Nuwakahali dialect isn't all that different really. In fact, it's quite hard to differentiate between nuakhali dialect and shuddho. Have you ever heard anyone speak puran dhakai language? It's hilarious. It's hard to distinguish anything when people from chittagong speak. IMO, it's harder than shylheti.

[Musaafirah]

Sylheti's easy!!^o).
I have nooo idea what Chittagong people say to me.
Nuwakhali does not sound Shuddho! Well, not from the people I've met anyway.
Actually maybe it does...with a slight stretch...

[H4RUN]

dhurrolalalalala


Sorry i still dont know the exact meaning of that!

[Musaafirah]

i thought it was just the bengali way of saying "Dayamn!"
Not sure bout Lala though, so sorry, can't help you there...

[The Ruler]

^In shuddho it'd be 'dhat-tarikeh'. It's funny no matter how often I hear it. Heh.

[IbnAbdulHakim]

^ nah never heard that

theres:

duro!

dur!

SHOBYONASH (or something to that affect)

yastowas!! (one my cousin loves to use)

[Musaafirah]

Oh and...'Hayre london, shanthi nai...'
Lath mari dath falaymu...!

Anyways, next phrase:
Akashe paki ure...
(My fave phrase to write and say when I was about 6ish lol!)

[An-Nughair]

Akashe paki ure = Birds fly in the sky

Next phrase:
Akasher Thikanay Chtihi Likho

(Im lovin' dis game :))

[The Ruler]

Akasher Thikanay Chtihi Likho: Send a letter addressed to the sky.

And the first sentence of that would be:
Bhalo achi bhalo theko. (It's g*y, I tell you. Very g*y)

[IbnAbdulHakim]

im good stay good



next : rasool amar balobasha :)

[An-Nughair]

Akasher Thikanay Chtihi Likho: Send a letter addressed to the sky.

And the first sentence of that would be:
Bhalo achi bhalo theko. (It's g*y, I tell you. Very g*y)

lol, sorry bro, it just came into my mind -

Bhalo achi Bhalo Theko = I'm good, you stay good too

Next phrase:
Bashar Khaddo Khawa Onek Valo

[The Ruler]

next : rasool amar balobasha :)

The Prophet (saw) is my love.

Bashar Khaddo Khawa Onek Valo - It's good to eat home (made) food.

Dine paach (ongsho?) shaak shobji aar fall khawa bhalo.

I don't know what 'portion' is in bengali.

[An-Nughair]

The Prophet (saw) is my love.

Bashar Khaddo Khawa Onek Valo - It's good to eat home (made) food.

Dine paach (ongsho?) shaak shobji aar fall khawa bhalo.

I don't know what 'portion' is in bengali.

Dine paach ongsho shaak shobji aar fall khawa bhalo = Its good to eat 5 portions of fruit and vegetables in a day

Next:
Nabijir kache ami salam o salawat janai

[Musaafirah]

I give my peace and salutations to Rasulullah (SAW).
Ummm,
Next: Dine pach waqte namaaz poro.. (Or, Namaaz dine fas bar foryo!) :D

[IbnAbdulHakim]

^ second one helped!

next: ekhdin buzbay... dunya kicchu nai...

[The Ruler]

One day, you'll realise... This world is nothing.

Onko = ?

[Musaafirah]

Biggabon= ?

[Cabdullahi]

Next:

Alishotha konoshom-a nishfol hoi na

BOOYA! whoever answers that will get multiple rep's

[IbnAbdulHakim]

^ aint gota clue


ps: you bengali bro?:ooh:

[Cabdullahi]

^im a reptile

[Cabdullahi]

no1??

[Musaafirah]

Where's the Ruler when you need her?

[The Ruler]

Biggabon are you kidding thats a pokemon character

Next:

Alishotha konoshom-a nishfol hoi na

BOOYA! whoever answers that will get multiple rep's

I think you got the pronunciations wrong. Even if I asked my parents that, they'll never be able to answer me. Because I believe that the actual saying goes something like, "Oloshotha kono shomoye nishful hoi na"

Oloshotha = Laziness
kono shomoye = (in this context) never
nishful = I'm unsure about this one... But is it 'fruitful' or 'productive'? I remember hearing this word around, but I forgot what it means.
hoi na = doesn't happen

Full translation: Laziness never bears fruit/Laziness is never productive.

... Or something like that.

[GreyKode]

hehe ruler, your pronunciation of pronounciation is wrong:D

[Cabdullahi]

^ she's close enough though which is good

[The Ruler]

hehe ruler, your pronunciation of pronounciation is wrong:D

Hai hai... I've changed it now. =_=

^ she's close enough though which is good

*facepalm moment* Why don't you spell it right so that I know what it is exactly? =_=

Lol I'm wondering now if you're that Bengali singer Alif alauddin.

Words like fool and idiots sound funny in the sylheti tongue and they are just said in jest. A bit of humour doesn't go amiss as long as these words are not directed at anyone:)
