No, it is only for 'ami'.
The rule remains the same.
Remove the '-a' from the infinitive form (e.g., 'kora' becomes 'kor').
No, it's informal. Use 'apni' for elders and strangers.
Bengali uses honorifics to show respect. '-be' is neutral, '-ben' is formal.
No, that would be considered rude. Always use '-ben'.
