আছে for There Is and Having

There Is and Having

Level 1Sounds Like āchē

ঘৰত কোন আছে? means “who is in the house?”, and মোৰ নিজা ঘৰ আছে means “I have my own house”.

How It Works

One word does three jobs.

For “has”, the owner takes the word for “my”, “your”, “his” or “her”: মোৰ, তোমাৰ, তাৰ, তাইৰ. The thing owned comes before আছে.

The form আছে stays the same for one thing or many things. The opposite is নাই. The word also answers a question: আছে। means “yes, there is”.
