Bengali to English examples

Real sentences with translations and short grammar notes. Read them out loud and copy the rhythm of natural English.

Example 1

beginner

আমি দ্রুত ইংরেজি শিখতে চাই।

I want to learn English quickly.

Bengali puts 'chai' (I want) at the end. English puts 'want' right after 'I'. The object and verb must swap positions — 'learn English' rather than 'English learn'.

Example 2

intermediate

আমি তিন বছর ধরে ইংরেজি শিখছি।

I have been studying English for three years.

Bengali uses a present continuous with a duration phrase. English uses the present perfect continuous — a tense that shows continuation from a past starting point to now.

Example 3

beginner

একটু ধীরে কথা বলুন।

Please speak more slowly.

Bengali encodes politeness in the verb ending '-un'. English uses 'please' as a separate word. The politeness system is built differently in each language.

Example 4

advanced

আমি যদি বেশি পড়তাম, তাহলে পরীক্ষায় পাস করতাম।

If I had studied more, I would have passed the exam.

Bengali uses '-tam' suffix for past counterfactual conditions. English uses the past perfect in the if-clause and 'would have' in the result clause.

Example 5

beginner

ইংরেজি একটি অত্যন্ত গুরুত্বপূর্ণ ভাষা।

English is a very important language.

Bengali can imply 'is' without stating it explicitly. English always requires 'is'. The article 'a' before 'language' is also required in English and has no Bengali equivalent.
