West Medinipuria Bengali

Personal Pronouns

Unlike Standard Bengali which has three, the WMB seems to have only two tones of formality: casual and very informal. This is probably because for more formal situations the speakers generally turn to Standard Bengali.

Nominative:

For plural of inanimate objects, you can also use এগুলা (egulā), ওগুলো (ogulā) and সেগুলা (segulā) although -গা (gā) is more specific of this dialect.

Objective:

For inanimate objects, it's fine not to use -কে (ke).

Possessive:

I'll be posting on WMB for the time being, so you can read my previous posts for resources on Standard Bengali.

Bengali sentence structure

Today we’ll learn three sentence structures in Bengali for three commonly used expressions. 

to be:

  subject pronoun + amount টি/টা/ জন  + noun.  *টি /টা refers to anything nonhuman জন refers to a human 

          আমি + একজন + ছাত্রী 

            এটি + একটি + কলম 

 same rule applies for plural pronouns: 

       subject pronoun + amount টি/টা/ জন  + noun    *you can either say the        number or use কয়েক (some)

      আমরা + চারজন + স্বেচ্ছাসেবী                  

     ঐগুলো + কয়েকটি + পাখি 

to have:

  possesive pronoun + amount টি/টা/ জন + noun + আছে 

             আমার + দুইজন + বোন + আছে 

            উনাদের + তিনটি + ছাগল + আছে 

to not have:

 possesive pronoun + কোনো (any)/ amount টি/টা/ জন  + noun  + নেই 

      আমাদের + সাতটা + গাড়ি + নেই 

      উনার + কোনো + সময় + নেই

heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

first off : HOW ARE YOU? (i hope you're okay)

secondly:

could you direct me towards any resources to learn Bengali? I really wanna learn.

I'm a complete beginner. COMPLETE. (ik hindi if that counts for anything)

also like, i can't spend money on anything (strict parents hahaha)

Thank you so much n bye!

<3

Helloooooooo

Yep, just 'okay' xd. Hope you're doing fine though :)

Oh knowing Hindi (or any other Indo Aryan language) does count! Because you already know how the abugida (writing scriot typical to most Indian languages) works. You also have a strong base of tatsam words (Sanskrit loanwords, we use a lotta them in the Bangla).

There are a lotta resources available online but here's my pick (including stuff I created):

Firstly, you should know a little about the language before you begin. So here are some Wikipedia links:

They even have tables of pronouns, verb conjugations etc so do check it out.

Next, you might wanna learn the alphabet and the pronunciations... I've made a playlist on that:

Learning basic phrases beforehand helps too:

And now you're all set to begin your language learning journey! This YT channel has good videos... I suggest you to learn spoken Bangla first before attempting to read and write.

And since you already know Hindi, this should help:

And listen to this podcast:

This website is pretty cool too:

Conjunct consonants can be a pain in the arse... So here's a table for u:

And I find these apps pretty helpful for language learning:

Once you have certain grasp over the language, I'd suggest you to consume as much Bengali media as you can. Listen to Bengali music, watch Bengali movies, read Bengali short stories and poems (or novels if you'd dare)... And it's really nice if you have Bengali friends who are willing to help you out. I'll of course be available in the asks if you have any doubts or need help. All the best! ^^

Okay so... I tried writing something in West Medinipur dialect and... It's kinda crap but here, you can read:

অসঙ্কোচে

আইজ কইতে পারি

তুমি বুঝলনি

মোর মনের কথা

নিরাবেগে

আইজ কইতে পারি

সে ফিরাইলনি

মোর ভালোবাসা

দিনশেষে

আমিই ছিলি বোকা

হৃদয়ভঙ্গেও

করছিলি অপেক্ষা...

- অগ্নি

Transliteration:

Ôsôṅkoce

āij koite pāri

tumi bujhlôni

mōr mônēr kôthā

nirābege

āij koite pāri

se phirāilôni

mōr bhālobāsā

dinsese

āmi'i chili bokā

hridôybhôṅge'o

korchili ôpekkhā...

- Ogni

In Standard Bengali:

অসঙ্কোচে

আজ বলতে পারি

তুমি বুঝলেনা

আমার মনের কথা

নিরাবেগে

আজ বলতে পারি

সে ফিরালো না

আমার ভালোবাসা

দিনশেষে

আমিই ছিলাম বোকা

হৃদয়ভঙ্গেও

করছিলাম অপেক্ষা...

- অগ্নি

Translation:

Without hesitation

I can say this today

You never

Understood me

Without emotion

I can say this today

She never

Returned my love

At the end of the day

It was I who acted foolishly

Even when heartbroken

I waited...

- Ogni
