Bengali numbers 1–10

Bengali personal pronouns

Bengali has formal, familiar, and intimate forms of "you". Pronouns also change with verb conjugation.

Bengali present tense verbs

Bengali present tense endings change by person rather than by gender (Bengali verbs don't mark gender at all). Conjugated here for করা (korā, "to do").

Bengali negation with না

Unlike Hindi, Bengali places its negator না (nā) after the verb, not before it. নেই (nei) is used specifically for negative existence and possession.

Bengali case suffixes

Bengali attaches short case suffixes directly to the end of a noun instead of using separate preposition words.

Bengali question words

Bengali wh-questions use a fixed set of question words placed where the answer would go.

Bengali sentence structure — building a basic sentence

Bengali follows Subject-Object-Verb (SOV) order. Adjectives come before the noun, and case suffixes attach after it.
