BANGLA SCHOOL

[amee_patla_na]

alright, this is for people (of any race or colour) to come & learn bangla.

our teacher is Mr.Inshad, please & thank you.

we're learning the basics, the alphabet, the numbers, etc etc.

there is only one rule which is absolutely NO side conversations for obvious purposes.

oh yes, before i forget, there is a fee of CND$100 (which is about 50 pounds). if you are intrested, email me & ill give you an address where you can mail the cheque.

let us begin, shall we?

I think you're both correct aga_kha and Ethelflaed. It is a matter of accent or ucharon. Nothing major. Ethelflaed, they must teach you Bangla numbers at the Space Academy.


Anyhow, I shall continue with the lesson.

Here is ur bangla teache Mr. Inshad

aga_kha: seeing ur numbers i am sure u r sylheti. but ethan has the real bangla one. amar has already gone upto 20. hope he will continue with that. basically i don't think there is much of use if u learn alphabets cause u will not use it, and its so hard that once u see them u will loose interest to learn them. so i will just concentrate on basic conversations.

pronouns:

I = ami
We = amra
You = tumi, tomra(plural)
He/she = shey
they = ora

few basic verbs:

eat: khawa
go: jawa
know: jana
give: dewa
take: newa
do: kora
like: pochondo(it's an adverb in bangla)

when using them in the sentence they are little different.
few common conversation:

how are U?
tumi(U) kemon (how) acho(are)?

I am fine.
Ami(I) bhalo(fine) achi(am)

I eat You eat He eats
ami khai tumi khao shey khai (see how the verb change)

I go You go He goes
ami jai tumi jao shey jai

I know You know He knows
ami jani tumi jano she jane

built sentences like this with the rest of the verb. its ur homework for the next lesson

use of like:
I like bangla
Ami bangla pochondo(like) kori(do)

and if u have any question feel free to ask. see u guys for the next lesson.

We are renowned for our observational skills Amar-Sonar-Bangla, ofcourse I don't expect you to understand that, you are after all a mere human creature.

What is a Space Academy by the way? Is it a place where earthlings try to contact extra-terrestrials in vain?
