팁과 요령 (4)

💡

Use Rhythm

Say the numbers in a rhythm to memorize them faster.

💡

Practice Aloud

Saying numbers aloud helps memory.
frontend.learn_grammar.from_rule: Tens (বিশ - bish, ত্রিশ - trish)
💡

Default to 'টা'

When in doubt, use 'টা'. It works for almost all objects.

💡

Consistency

Always use 'jon' for people. It's the most important rule.

자주 하는 실수

You must use the classifier -ti or -ta when counting objects. Skipping it sounds incomplete.

Wrong: পনেরো বই (15 book)
정답: পনেরোটি বই (15-ti book)

Jon is only for humans. Use -ta for inanimate objects.

Wrong: পাঁচজন আপেল (5-jon apple)
정답: পাঁচটা আপেল (5-ta apple)

While often written together, keeping a slight space is standard for clarity in formal writing.

Wrong: বিশজন মানুষ (20 people)
정답: বিশ জন মানুষ (20 people)
