Primary Dictionary English to Bengali

INTRODUCTION The writer is very grateful to precious friends for their assistance in the preparation and refinement of the material published in this book. The dictionary provides English words in English Alphabetical order. Where the English word is ambiguous, secondary meanings clarify which meaning applies to the Bengali translation. Two main styles of Bengali language exist side by side — a common or “Chalito” style and a literary or classical style (“Sadhu”). Where appropriate, the most popular spelling in common style is given first followed in round brackets by the spelling in literary style. Bengali meanings are given both in Bengali script and in a Romanized form. This helps beginners to use the language until they have mastered the script. The romanized form differs from systems used by other writers and has the advantage of providing a consistent system of phonetic conversion from Bengali script that represents each Bengali character element accurately and uniquely. Its appearance reflects the pronunciation closely after accepting a few simple transcription rules. The same process of sound classification is consistent with a family of similar languages derived from Sanskrit. However, some use of Bengali script is no longer truly phonetic — mainly in cases where two consonants are ed into “conjuncts”, and the initial consonant is emphasized while the trailing consonant is effectively lost. See the following sections about on “Bengali Alphabet” and “Hints on Special Pronunciation”. Where appropriate, help with the pronunciation is given in square brackets after the romanized Bengali word. References such as "[See Grammar 57.3]" are for students using the comprehensive manual for learning Bengali that is also produced by the writer of this dictionary. Other hints are stated in square brackets ([…])

Primary Dictionary English to Bengali

HINTS ON SPECIAL PRONUNCIATION Bengali script is no longer pronounced truly phonetically. The pronunciation is often modified when certain consonants are ed in “conjuncts”. In these cases the first consonant is emphasized, and the second is effectively neglected. The main instances are:ñ ksa

= =

± k

+ +

¿ sa

YÂ tma

= =

y t

+ b + ma

sounds like Øþ,±Î± " kka, k'ka sounds like "

», yÎy tta, t'ta

Trailing n y or ½ ya are written as º ("yafla"). The effect on pronunciation is as shown above, for example:iº dya

= =

i d

+ n (½) + ya (ya)

sounds like é, iÎi " dda, d'da

The pronunciation of some conjuncts is changed more drastically:¡ jn2a

= =

¸ j

+ ° + n2a

sounds like ³º, ³Î½ " gya, g'ya

N hya

= =

ã h

+ n (½) + ya (ya)

sounds like æ¸, ¸Î¸ " jja, j'ja

Where appropriate, assistance is given in the dictionary after the romanized version of particularly problemmatical words.

The three forms of "you" listed from left to right are:familiar, common, and honorific. For "he" or "she" there is no distinction for gender in the Bengali pronouns. The forms Ê\ se and yÁ- taa- are often replaced throughout by "this one" - either SãÁ- ihaa- or J- e-. Underlining of you, he, she, YOU, and they indicate the honorific form. The forms listed for :yÁ- taa- and yÏÁ- t^aa are in modern Common Bengali ("chalito" language). In classical ("saadhu") literary style longer forms are used:yaãÁ- taahaaand yÏaãÁ- t^aahaaAlternative forms are Aaba½ aamaay, and Êyaba½ tomaay. See Note #5. When the sense involves respectful approach into someone's presence, the preferred form is:Aabam ±aj·

See Note #5. For the sense of "within me (inside of me)", etc. use:Aabam bjoº

The tabulation above shows that ordinal numbers up to “tenth” are all special, meaning that they bear little resemblance to the cardinal series given in Grammar 57.1. The ordinals listed from “eleventh” to “nineteenth” are formed by adding “-yb” “-tam” meaning “-th” to an old cardinal series. Ordinals in higher decades can be formed similarly but changing the ending to suit the tens involved. The feminine ending adds “—d” “-ii”. Pentecost being the 50th day, is “zÞa®»bdm sip” “pancaashattamiir din” It is common practice to take the simpler approach of forming ordinals by using the Possessive Case of the cardinal numbers listed in Grammar 57.1, especially for ordinals above “twentieth”. Hence, “69th” becomes “Gp\»jmm” “uunasattarer” GRAMMAR 57.4 Approximation “-J±” “-ek” is appended to a number to say approximately that number:Û'J± \ajy±

du'ek saatek

“²ajp±” “khaanek” is placed after a dimension to say approximately that value:© 2007 B J Burford & E J Burford

O'clock “ca¸Á” "baajaa" meaning "to strike" is used for telling what the time is, what time has last struck, or what time is striking next. To state the time that has struck as a whole hour or fraction of an hour, use “...-qÁ Êcj¸j· (cas¸½aj·)” "...-taa bejeche (baajiyaache)". For example:If the time has just struck on the hour of one o'clock: It is one o'clock. = "It has struck one", or "One has struck." J±qÁ Êcj¸j· (cas¸½aj·) ek-taa bejeche (baajiyaache) Minutes After the Hour To state the time as a number of minutes past the last hour that "has struck", append the number of minutes to the time for the hour. It is seven minutes past one = "It is [has been] seven minutes after having struck one." J±qÁ Êcj¸ \ay sbspq Aaj· [or ãj½j·] ek-taa beje saat minit aache [or hayeche]. (J±qÁ cas¸½Á \ay sbspq Aaj· [or ãS½aj·] ek-taa baajiyaa saat minit aache [or haiyaache]) On a digital clock system this would be "one seven":© 2007 B J Burford & E J Burford
