অনভ্যাসে হত বিদ্যা
Proverb: Knowledge Fades Without Practice
অনভ্যাসে হত বিদ্যা means “knowledge is lost through lack of practice”.
How It Works
| Word | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 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.
