Review Summary

  • Jekhane/Jokhon + Clause

よくある間違い

You must use the specific 'shei' (that specific one) before the noun when using a relative clause.

Wrong: সে ছেলে যে আমাকে ডেকেছে।
正解: সেই ছেলেটি যে আমাকে ডেকেছে।

In Bengali, repeating the subject pronoun can be redundant. Keep it concise.

Wrong: যেখানে আমি যাব, সেখানে আমি খাব।
正解: যেখানে আমি যাব, সেখানে খাব।

Keep honorific levels consistent. If you start with 'jini', use 'tini'.

Wrong: যিনি আমার বন্ধু, সে খুব ভালো।
正解: যিনি আমার বন্ধু, তিনি খুব ভালো।

よくある質問 (6)

Bengali uses a correlative system. The first pronoun sets the stage, and the second anchors the main clause.
No, that would be grammatically incorrect and often rude. Use 'jini' for respected people.
No, it can be used for things too, but 'Jeta' is more common for objects.
In very casual speech, sometimes, but it's grammatically incorrect.
In very casual speech, it's sometimes dropped if the meaning is obvious, but in writing and standard speech, it is mandatory.
কে is for questions (Who is he?), while যে is for relative clauses (The man who is here...).
