How It Works

ব’লাঁ is a friendly word. It asks someone to come along.

ব’লাঁ, with its nasal mark, is for a friend you call তুমি. For a person you respect, the form is ব’লক.

The word is spelled with an apostrophe because it makes the vowel sound o.

The verb after ব’লাঁ is the মই form, which is also the আমি form: যাওঁ, খাওঁ, কৰোঁ. That is why the sentence means “we”, even though no আমি is written.
