Adding more information to a point
زمینه فرهنگی
The use of 'Tachhara' is central to 'Adda' (informal intellectual conversation). It allows speakers to keep the floor while adding layers to their thoughts. In Kolkata, you might hear 'Ta bade' more often in very casual settings, but 'Tachhara' remains the standard for neutral speech. In formal Bangladeshi media and news, 'Adhikantu' is preferred, but 'Tachhara' is the go-to for talk shows and interviews. Classic authors like Rabindranath Tagore used 'Tachhara' to transition between descriptive imagery and philosophical reflection.
The 'Bonus' Rule
Use Tachhara when you want to give a 'bonus' reason that makes your argument stronger.
No Contrast
Never use it to mean 'but'. It only adds, it never subtracts.
