よくある間違い

When a word ends in a vowel, use the 'y' suffix instead of 'te'.

Wrong: আমি ঢাকা তে যাই। (I go to Dhaka.)
正解: আমি ঢাকায় যাই। (I go to Dhaka.)

Genitive markers should be attached to the noun.

Wrong: রহিম এর বাড়ি। (Rahim's house.)
正解: রহিমের বাড়ি। (Rahim's house.)

While 'dwara' is correct, 'diye' is much more natural in daily speech.

Wrong: বাস দ্বারা যাই। (I go by bus.)
正解: বাস দিয়ে যাই। (I go by bus.)

Next Steps

You have done an amazing job! Keep practicing these markers in your daily speech and you will sound like a native speaker in no time.
