正解: দোকানটি কোথায়?

You must use the locative case 'e' to indicate direction (to the left).

Wrong: বাম যান
正解: বামে যান

A verb is required to make the instruction a complete, polite command.

よくある質問 (6)

Bengali is a SOV language; the interrogative often follows the object.
Only with friends. It's very informal.
The -e suffix turns the noun 'bam' into an adverb of direction.
No, 'shoja' is already an adverb and doesn't need the suffix.
Yes, sometimes. 'সকালে' (in the morning).
Still use '-এ'.
