I want to learn Bangali.....

no one?

Would you like some tea?--tumi ki cha khabe?

Are you hungry?--tomar ki khida legeche?

Phone me!--Phone koro amake!

If your friend's sylheti then maybe a syhleti bro/sis can translate it for you.

Then it's no problem, she'll understand it.

Sylheti sounds easier.. What's the difference?

salaam,

its just different dialects sis....Dhakhai is the posh style....and Sylheti is a bit like cockney style!

good for you that you want to learn Bengali.....im so proud of you my Zorro Apa!

wassalam

And how did it go Zorro Apa? Did you astound your friend?

wassalam

lolol sorry guys.. I thought my friend was from dhaka cuz she mentioned it once.. then after posting the message I remembered showing her google earth and she told me to look up sylhet.. Today I asked her and she is from sylhet not dhaka.. phew good job I hadnt learnt my lines

I really really appreciate all those helping me and I promise ur help won't be in vain. I just get caught in discussions on the forum but I promise to learn them tomorrowish :

And how did it go Zorro Apa? Did you astound your friend?

lolz so sis muslimah did you learn your lines? how did it go?

well I havent... but I was out with her one cloudy day and I only knew one word I'd seen on the bengali to english thread which was shurjoh-sun..
so I came out with "No shurjoh today!" looooooooool you shoud've seen her face.. even though more than half was in english hahahaha! She loved it!

Salaam,

......Zorro Apa I just checked my reps and I laughed my head off! I can't believe she's Sylhetti! In that case learn Muslim 4 Life's lines and inshAllah we'll help on more!

wassalam

^Lol sis & thanks for ur never ending help
She's coming laters so I'm memorising these like mad


1) Would you like some tea? tumi saa sow ni?

2) Are you hungry? buk lagseh ni?

3) Phone me! amare fon koro!


The way I say "Tumi saa sow ni?" I sound more chinese than bengali

Tnx sis. You guys are so helpful mashaAllah.

she's due any minute now..i'll let u know how it goes

Well I rehearsed & rehearsed saying "Tumi saa sow ni?" Mind you it did sound a bit like I was singing. So when my friend finally came I eagerly asked, "Tumi saa sow ni?" to which my friend replied, "Whaaat?????"

I went, "Tuumiiii - saaaaa - sowwww - niiiiiiii?" She went, "HUH?" I went, "Nevermind.... I'm gonna kill a few people on LI!"

What went wrong???

Where you all hiding?
