Hi ********NIRMAL KUNDU********* from ZEENAT MIAH
saw you message on the 14th September. At last i have found someone who can help me learn bengali. Where to start did you see my message on the 7th September am i a lost cause or do you think i can learn to hold an adult conversation in Bengali.
What do i want to learn ****EVERTHING POSSIBLE******* though to begin with i think i really need help in how to structure a sentance what goes where.I know words (but need some clarification on what they exactly mean ie asi, ache, aso, achen,) I have a book but its hard work and goes on about subject pronouns? that goes over my head. been listening to asian digital radio they have a bengali section.
And i hope to get that bengali film with Aswari Rai in it can't remember what its called. Also been trying to teach my little brother in law 13 years old some english he's just come back from bangladesh and says he has forgotten english, so he might be able to help me in return.
Every little helps look forward to hearing from you not a gold member so i guess the only way to exchange is through this.
Thanks Zeenat

Re:Hi ********NIRMAL KUNDU********* from ZEENAT MIAH
HI,ZEENAT!! ............ FROM NIRMAL.
As I told you in my earlier message....I am impressed by your eagerness to learn Bengali.I saw your message no. 37256 dt. Sept.,28 and also dt. Sept.07. Now let's do real work.
2. First please note there are two letters very close to each other,namely; CH and CHH ......pl. get the sounds from your little B-I-L.
3.Example; CHA = TEA, CHABI = KEY, CHITHI = LETTER, CHOR = THIEF.
CHHOBI = PHOTO/PICTURE ,CHHELE = BOY, CHHOY = SIX.
Could you get the difference? ....now pronounce and memorise.
4. LET ME NOW COME BACK TO YOUR Q ABOUT 'ACHE' 'ACHEN'etc
......These will be 'ACHHE' 'ACHHEN'etc.
5. Example:- AMI ACHH(I)=I AM THERE, TUMI ACHH(O)= YOU ARE THERE, SHE ACHH(E)=HE/SHE IS THERE, APNI(formal of YOU)ACHH(EN), TARA ACHH(E)= THEY ARE THERE.......endings are put into the bracket.
6. Now you add the word BHALO=GOOD/WELL to the above sentences.
7.Ex: AMI BHALO ACHHI, TUMI BHALO ACHHO?=
I'm well(O.K), you(intimate form) are well?
SHE BHALO ACHHE, APNI BHALO ACHHEN?
He is well(O.K), you are O.K?
TARA(THEY) BHALO ACHHE, AMI BHALO NEI(=I AM NOT WELL)
SOBAI BHALO ACHH(E)= ALL of them are well,
SOBAI BHALO ACHH(I)=ALL of us are well
KEYU(NOBODY)BHALO NEI= no one is well
(NEI= NOT THERE).
.......Do see the endings?
Now try those immediately on your HUBBY & M-I-L.
Let's give an interval here...to your AISWARIYA RAI also!!!! Nirmal
N.B. Please give me your feedback.See my HANGMAN Please!!
