टिप्स और ट्रिक्स (4)

💡

Check the intent

Ask yourself: Is this a benefit or a cause? If benefit, use 'jonno'.

💡

Keep it simple

When in doubt, use 'diye'. It's almost always correct in daily life.

Pronoun Check

Always use the possessive form (amar, tomar) before 'sathe'.

  • Noun + সাথে/সঙ্গে

सामान्य गलतियाँ

You used 'sathe' (association) instead of 'diye' or 'kore' (means). 'Sathe' is for people, 'diye' is for vehicles/tools.

Wrong: আমি যাই বাসের সাথে।
सही: আমি বাসে করে যাই।

Ensure the pronoun is in the genitive case (আমার) when using 'cheye'.

Wrong: সে আমার চেয়ে লম্বা।
सही: সে আমার চেয়ে লম্বা।

Redundant use of 'karone' and 'jonno'. Pick one.

Wrong: আমি পড়ি কারণের জন্য।
सही: আমি পড়ার জন্য পড়ি।
