文化的背景

The Kolkata International Book Fair is a massive cultural event where 'বই পড়ো' is the unofficial slogan of the city for two weeks. The 'Ekushey Boi Mela' in Dhaka lasts the entire month of February and commemorates the Language Movement. Reading is seen as a patriotic act. Bengali parents often prioritize 'পড়াশোনা' (study-reading) over sports. 'বই পড়ো' is often a synonym for 'go study.' During Saraswati Puja, books are worshipped. You will never see a Bengali person touch a book with their feet; if they do, they touch the book and then their forehead as an apology.

⚠️

Formal vs Informal

Always check your social standing before using 'Poro'. When in doubt, use 'Porun'.
