Ce que tu vas apprendre

Introduce yourself to common postpositions (অনুসর্গ - onusôrgo) that indicate location and direction, similar to prepositions in English. This helps describe spatial relationships.

Conseils et astuces (4)

💡

Suffix Check

Always check if you added '-er' to the noun. It's the most common error.
frontend.learn_grammar.from_rule: Postpositions of Location (যেমন: উপরে - upore, নিচে - niche)
💡

Think in reverse

Since Bengali is postpositional, translate the noun first, then the direction word.
frontend.learn_grammar.from_rule: Postpositions of Direction (যেমন: দিকে - dike, থেকে - theke)
💡

The 'r' Rule

If the noun ends in a vowel, use '-r'. If it ends in a consonant, use '-er'.

Questions fréquentes (6)

It marks the noun as the owner of the location, which is required for postpositions.
No, it makes the sentence sound incorrect to native speakers.
No, 'দিকে' is for direction. Use 'থেকে' for time.
It's the genitive marker, making the noun possessive before the postposition.
It marks the noun as the 'possessor' of the location, which is how Bengali structures spatial relationships.
In very casual speech, maybe, but it's grammatically incorrect and will sound unnatural.
