It didn't take much ASB!

Uhm I would say "bhalobasha"...

Mainly coz of the fact that you are going to spend the rest of your life and forever more, living out the consequesnces of saying that word in a sentence like "ami tumaki bhalobashi"

But I guess that wasn't the kind of long word you were after

hehe

"Ami tomake bhalobashi"

is juz somink we teach all u non-Bangla speakers...

don't think most native-bangla speakers are actually ever gonna say it... it's too melodramatic.. more suited for them TV Dramas, where u get guys and girls, sitting on benches, claspin each others hands and outpouring the stirrings of their hearts, the pained-expression on their faces suggesting they haven't been able to have a good dump for 4 days.


I think in real life the only ppl likely to be sayin that are Pakistanis/Englisha ppl who're tryin to impress someone with their Bangla

Don't think I've ever said it to my man...weird coming from me. Nor have I ever used "main aap se piyar karti houn" To Bollywood-ish...though they usually use "I love you"

Why thank you, my dear.

Your sentiment is much appreciated. It’s cuz I’m dashing debonair and witty, isn’t it?

I think I’ll ask Snoop to return the Best Male Award.

Hum bi thumko piyar karta hoon.
Looks like the lawyer has been in operation here! Haven't you learned that you shouldn't tamper with "evidence"

Naah Snoop deserves the best mae award, perhaps you can be his "caddie"

I guess I was being polite hence used "aap" instead of the informal "tum" but both can be used interchangeably

Nope don't take it personally nor offensively. In fact I use it myself...but try to use "Pakistani" on this board coz some of the other posters might take it the worng way. The same with "Bangladeshi" though I prefer to say Bongi. Nice and short
