اشتباهات رایج

In Bengali, the verb usually goes at the end. Placing it earlier breaks the natural flow.

Wrong: আমি দিই বই বন্ধুকে।
صحیح: আমি বন্ধুকে বই দিই।

Human indirect objects require the 'ke' marker to be grammatically correct.

Wrong: আমি বন্ধু বই দিই।
صحیح: আমি বন্ধুকে বই দিই।

Only the human recipient gets the 'ke' marker, not the object itself.

Wrong: আমি বইকে ভাইকে দিই।
صحیح: আমি ভাইকে বই দিই।
