Hi, my friend asked an aunty and uncle to help bring back gifts to Bangladesh that I will be giving her which is matcha tea powder and instant hotpot from Malaysia. I’m also considering giving the aunty and uncle dry food or tea as a gift but I’m worried that it will be confiscated.

Ami chele, age almost 34. Amar kono friend nai, kotha bolar manush nai. Ami biye o korte pari nai ekhono. Keu amar friend hoben? 😞

I'm hoping to be more fit, more financially responsible and spend less time on the Internet. What about you?

I'm from the UK and Bijoy Maash coincides with Christmastime here, and so I use Christmas decorations to decorate the house for Bijoy Maash instead. Coincidentally, the Christmas tree resembles the shape of the National Martyrs' Memorial, and the traditional British Christmas colours (green, red and gold) is the same colour scheme as the original Bangladeshi flag. So I have a green tree, with red baubles and gold ornaments. I'm currently shopping for a gold pendant shaped as Bangladesh to add to the tree, or I might get a bauble custom made.

It's also pitha season, so let's us eat pitha to celebrate our victory. Bijoy to the Bengal! Freedom has come!

Share your favorites, the most underrated ones from UNFAK, Aziz Mian, or others that I should listen to.

I've had some of my posts removed from r/Bangladesh and r/Dhaka for being irrelevant I guess. I was told to join this subreddit. Bit it looks pretty much dead. Is there another subreddit for non-political questions where I am bound to get answers from Bangladeshis?

give me advice for it? lets discuss

I've started talking with this girl for a past few days and she helps me learn the bangla language. I'm an year younger than her so I just casually flirt/ teased her to see how she reacts. So what does "nale jail" mean in this context?

In a serious exam (half-yearly/final) during my childhood there was this question where we were asked to write opposite words of a number of given words. One of those words was 'উদয়'. I thought and thought, and racked my brain, but I couldn't remember its oposite word. So I didn't answer the question right away, but kept it for later.

When the exam time was almost over, I had to just figure something out! I thought, the opposite word of উদয় must rhyme similarly! So I wrote সদয় as the opposite word, submitted my papers, and happily went home!

After the exam, my mother was checking with me in the evening if I had given all the correct answers. Instead of getting mad at me, she laughed really hard and my উদয়-সদয় blunder!
