Bengali Grammar - Pronouns

Hi Bengali learners! 😊
In today's lesson, we will be discussing pronouns in the Bengali language. Pronouns are words that replace nouns and can be used to refer to people, places, things, or ideas. Knowing how to use pronouns correctly is essential for speaking and writing Bengali fluently.

Personal Pronouns

Personal pronouns are used to refer to people. In Bengali, there are two types of personal pronouns: subject pronouns and object pronouns.

Subject Pronouns

Subject pronouns are used when the pronoun is the subject of the sentence. For example, "I am going to the store." Here, "I" is the subject pronoun.

The subject pronouns in Bengali are:

• আমি (ami) - I
• তুমি (tumi) - you (singular)
• সে (se) - he/she/it
• আমরা (amra) - we
• তোমরা (tomra) - you (plural)
• তারা (tara) - they

Object Pronouns

Object pronouns are used when the pronoun is the object of the sentence. For example, "He saw me." Here, "me" is the object pronoun.

The object pronouns in Bengali are:
