Here are the explanations: Nini (pronounced knee-knee) and Ruma (Room-ah) are personal names of girls. amar > my maa > Mother, Mom barite > at home amar maa barite > My mother/mom is (at) home. buccho> the standard forms are: bu-jhe-chho (perfect form)/ bujh-chho (progressive form)> Do you understand? / have you got the point? / is that clear to you?...etc. Example sentence(s):

Nini & Ruma, my mother is at home, okay? Explanation: --> 'buccho" literally means "do you understand?", and can be translated as such or as "...got it?", but in this context "...okay?" seems to be a more natural corresponding expression in English meaning the same thing. --> 'Nini' and 'Ruma' are both names, probably of two girls. |

peer agreement (net): +2Hi Nini and Ruma, my mom is at home, got it? Explanation: 1. As Nini and Ruma are names of two persons, initial letters of these texts must be capital. 2. In English it's better to use words before names for the indication of addressing the concerned. Example: Hi Nini. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day20 hrs (2010-10-20 10:38:10 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- 3. Though no question sign has been used in Bengali, here an interrogative expression has been made. |
