abhaoa (weather) kemon (how) ache (is)? ----------------- If you are speaking Bengali on the Indian side (state of West Bengal), you can actually use lots of English words (e.g. weather, table, rail, ball, glass, chair, cup ........ ) in everyday conversation with the locals on the street. Strangely, for many of these words, we even never use the pure Bengali words. However on the other side of the border, in Bangladesh, may be they are using pure Bengali...not sure though!

I don't feel like studying. == amar (I) porte (to study/studying) ichhe korche na (don't feel like) I won't go there unless you give me a reason. == jotokhon (unless/until) tumi (you) ekta karon (a reason) dichho (give), ami (I) okhane (there) jabo na (won't go). As I study, things started to make sense. == ami (I) jato (as/more) porchi (am reading), tato (more) jinish gulo (things) bujhte parchi (can understand / make sense) For example, if I want to live there then I have to learn lots of things. == Udahoron (example) hisabe (for), jodi (if) ami (I) okhane (there) bash korte (to live) chai (want), tobe (then) amake (I) onek (many) jinish (things) shikte (to learn) hobe (must/have to) ------------------------------------------- I've tried to stick to the more colloquial words and expressions. Hope it helps.
