বহুতে / কিছুমানে
Many People and Some People
বহুতে তেনেকৈয়ে কয় means “many people say that”.
How It Works
These words name a group without saying who is in it. The -এ ending marks the group as the doer of the verb, and the verb does not change for the number.
| Word | Means |
|---|---|
| বহুতে | many people |
| কিছুমানে | some people |
Use them to describe habits and opinions: বহুতে ঘৰৰ কাষত শাক-পাচলিৰ বাগান কৰে “many people grow a vegetable garden beside their houses”. Use কিছুমানে when the speaker means only part of a group: কিছুমানে সদায় দেৰিকৈ আহি তাৰ পিছত খং কৰে! “some people always come late and then get angry!”.
Without -এ, বহুত and কিছুমান are the plain words for “many” and “some”, as in কিছুমান ল’ৰা “some boys”.
