== Descriptive Adjectives ==


__TOC__
Descriptive adjectives are the most commonly used type of adjectives in Bengali. As the name suggests, they describe or provide more information about a noun. Descriptive adjectives can be used to describe the color, size, shape, quality, or any other characteristic of a noun.
 
Let's look at some examples of descriptive adjectives in Bengali:
 
{| class="wikitable"

|-
| বড় || bor || big
|-
| ক্ষুদ্র || kshudro || small
|-
| লাল || lal || red
|-
| সাদা || shada || white
|-

In the examples above, the Bengali words in the first column are descriptive adjectives that provide additional information about the nouns. For example, "সুন্দর" (shundor) means "beautiful," "বড়" (bor) means "big," and "ক্ষুদ্র" (kshudro) means "small." These adjectives help us paint a clearer picture of the nouns they modify.
 
To use descriptive adjectives in a sentence, simply place them before the noun they describe. For example:
 
- এটা সুন্দর ফুল।
(Eta shundor ful.)
(This is a beautiful flower.)
 
- তার বড় বাড়ি আছে।
(Tar bor bari ache.)
(He has a big house.)

(Sei chhoto cheleti amar bhai.)
(That little boy is my brother.)
 
Remember to match the gender and number of the adjective with the noun it modifies. In Bengali, adjectives agree with the gender and number of the noun they describe.

Quantitative adjectives are used to indicate the quantity or number of a noun. They answer the question "how much" or "how many."

1. এই (ei) - this (for things near the speaker)
2. সেই (sei) - that (for things far from the speaker)

Descriptive Adjectives[edit | edit source]

Descriptive adjectives are the most commonly used type of adjectives in Bengali. As the name suggests, they describe or provide more information about a noun. Descriptive adjectives can be used to describe the color, size, shape, quality, or any other characteristic of a noun.

Let's look at some examples of descriptive adjectives in Bengali:

Bengali Pronunciation English Translation
সুন্দর shundor beautiful
বড় bor big
ক্ষুদ্র kshudro small

For example, "সুন্দর" (shundor) means "beautiful," "বড়" (bor) means "big," and "ক্ষুদ্র" (kshudro) means "small." These adjectives help us paint a clearer picture of the nouns they modify.

To use descriptive adjectives in a sentence, simply place them before the noun they describe. For example:

- তার বড় বাড়ি আছে। (Tar bor bari ache.) (He has a big house.)

Remember to match the gender and number of the adjective with the noun it modifies. In Bengali, adjectives agree with the gender and number of the noun they describe.

In Bengali, there are three demonstrative adjectives:

1. এই (ei) - this (for things near the speaker) 2. সেই (sei) - that (for things far from the speaker) 3. ওই (oi) - that (for things known to both the speaker and the listener)

Remember to match the gender and number of the adjective with the noun it modifies. In Bengali, adjectives agree with the gender and number of the noun they describe.

Adjectives of condition describe the condition or state of a noun. They help us provide more information about the noun's condition or state.

In Bengali, adjectives of condition are used to describe the condition or state of a noun. These adjectives are formed by using standalone adjectives or by using noun-adjective combinations.

Let's look at some examples of adjectives of condition in Bengali:

Bengali Pronunciation English Translation
ভালো bhalo good
খারাপ kharap bad
ঠিক thik fine

In the examples above, the Bengali words in the first column are adjectives of condition that describe the condition or state of the nouns. For example, "ভালো" (bhalo) means "good," "খারাপ" (kharap) means "bad," and "ঠিক" (thik) means "fine." These adjectives help us provide more information about the condition or state of the nouns.

To use adjectives of condition in a sentence, place them before the noun they describe. For example:

- এটা একটি ভালো আইডিয়া। (Eta ekta bhalo idea.) (This is a good idea.)

- তার খারাপ স্বাস্থ্যের কারণে সে বাড়িতে আছে। (Tar kharap shashther karone se barite ache.) (He is at home due to his bad health.)

- সে ঠিক আছে। (Se thik ache.) (He is fine.)
