আনকি
Even: আনকি
আনকি গ্ৰীচতো মহ আছে means “there are mosquitoes even in Greece”.
How It Works
আনকি picks out the case you would least expect.
| Part | Form | Means |
|---|---|---|
| place | আনকি গ্ৰীচতো | even in Greece |
| place | আনকি ভাৰততো | even in India |
| doer | আনকি বুঢ়া-বুঢ়ীয়েও | even old men and women |
It can start a sentence, as in আনকি গ্ৰীচতো মহ আছে. It can also follow a comma that adds a last, surprising item: …শাক-পাচলি আছে, আনকি তাজা মাছো পোৱা যায় “… and you can even get fresh fish”.
The word that আনকি points to usually ends in -ও, but not always: আনকি নৰবলি পৰ্যন্ত চলিছিল “even human sacrifice went on”. আনকি এতিয়াও “even now” is also common.
