Brother Angle recalls everybody, still he loves to ask about themselves. Explanation: Here the subject of the second sentence does not have any subject, in fact it is silent here. That is the reason why it confuses us. So if we translate it like one single sentence, its meaning becomes rather easy to understand. |

Brother Angel remembers everybody, however he likes to ask things. Explanation: Indeed the expression should be made through a single sentence in English as there's no subject in the second part in Bengali. The verb "remember" represents the Bengali term "mone rakha" in a better way. For the Bengali term "valo laga", we should use "to like" here. In Bengali there's no object in the second part, but it's understood and can be represented by "things". |

Brother Angel remembers all people, but still he loves to ask/enjoys asking (the whereabouts). Explanation: Let me try to solve this riddle: Perhaps Brother Angel himself is speaking here: first he generalizes his personal trait of remembering all people (whom he met), and then in the second part, he says that he enjoys asking about people's whereabouts, even though he already knows them. bhalo lage : if not specified by another person's names or a pronoun, it would mean amar bhalo lage = I like something...I love to do something.. I enjoy (doing) something...I feel like doing something...etc. In the given sentence, we can also assume tar bhalo lage = he loves to do.... or enjoys doing...etc. mone rakha means to remember, to keep in memory, whereas the Bengali word for "to recall" is mone kora The whole sentence would run like this: Brother Angel (myself) remembers all people (who are already known), but still he (=I) loves to ask (who you are, what you do etc.) Probably the given sentence is from a chatting conversation, or may be from other sources as well. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 days4 hrs (2010-10-22 04:09:04 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- Special thanks to Laura for a wise selection, based on prudence and insight.
