🎯

The 'Partner' Check

Always check if your 'Je' has a 'Se'. If you leave 'Je' hanging, the sentence feels incomplete to a native speaker.

The 'Jar' Rule

Whenever you see a postposition in a relative clause, your brain should immediately switch 'Je' to 'Jar'.

اشتباهات رایج

Non-restrictive clauses require commas to separate the extra information from the main clause.

Wrong: যিনি আমার বন্ধু তিনি এসেছেন। (Missing comma)
صحیح: যিনি আমার বন্ধু, তিনি এসেছেন।

Ensure the relative clause matches the honorific level of the person described.

Wrong: যার সাথে কথা বললাম সে লোক।
صحیح: যার সাথে কথা বললাম, তিনি সেই লোক।

While omission is possible, ensure the sentence remains clear and grammatically logical.

سوالات رایج (6)

No, it's considered disrespectful. Use 'যিনি' (Jini) instead.
In formal writing, yes. In informal writing, it's often skipped, but the pause remains in speech.
You can use Jar for both! For things, the correlative is usually ta or sheta instead of she.
Both mean 'with'. Shathe is slightly more common in informal speech, while shonge is preferred in formal writing.
No, 'je' is strictly for people. Use 'ja' for objects.
It's the 'se' or 'ta' that follows the relative clause to complete the thought.
