I want to learn basic Bengali greetings
a
great choice! the most common greeting is 'নমস্কার' (Nomoshkar) — used for hello in formal settings. casually you'd say 'কেমন আছো?' (Kemon acho?) — 'how are you?'. try responding!
Nomoshkar! Kemon acho?
a
সুন্দর ! (Shundar — beautiful!) perfect. the reply is 'ভালো আছি' (Bhalo achi) — 'I'm fine'. want to learn how to introduce yourself?
yes! how do I say my name is...
a
'আমার নাম...' (Amar naam...) — 'my name is...'. so you'd say 'আমার নাম [your name]'. Bengali script looks complex but the pronunciation is very phonetic once you get the basics 😊
