Watching television programs.
Contexto cultural
Television is a central part of the evening 'Adda' (social gathering). Families often eat dinner while watching a popular 'Serial' (soap opera). During the Cricket World Cup, 'টিভি দেখা' becomes a national event. Huge screens are often set up in public squares for communal viewing. The 'Serial' culture is massive. Shows on channels like Zee Bangla and Star Jalsha are discussed daily in neighborhoods. The local tea stall (Tong) is the hub for 'টিভি দেখা' for men, where they discuss politics while watching the news.
Context is Key
Even if you are watching a movie on a TV, you can say 'টিভি দেখছি' to mean you are occupied with the television.
Verb Agreement
Make sure to change 'dekha' to 'dekhi', 'dekho', or 'dekhen' depending on who you are talking to.
