অনভ্যাসে হত বিদ্যা

Proverb: Knowledge Fades Without Practice

Level 6Sounds Like anabhyāsē hata bidyā

অনভ্যাসে হত বিদ্যা means “knowledge is lost through lack of practice”.

How It Works

WordMeaning
অনভ্যাসে“through lack of practice”
হত“lost”, a literary word
বিদ্যা“knowledge, learning”

অন- at the start means “without”. So অনভ্যাস “without practice” is অন- plus অভ্যাস, which means “practice” or “habit”. The ending -এ on অনভ্যাসে is a Sanskrit-style ending that gives the cause, “through”. It is not the doer ending of everyday sentences.

In plain words: পঢ়া-শুনা নকৰিলে শিকা কথাবোৰ পাহৰি যায় “if you do not study, the things you learned are forgotten”.

The saying reminds a learner to keep practising. Because হত is a literary word, the saying sounds formal.
