Very, Much and a Little

Level 1Sounds Like bara / bahuta / alapa

How It Works

These words say how much. They stay the same for every noun and every person.

WordMeaningExample
বৰveryতুমি বৰ সাহসী। “You are very brave.”
বহুতa lot ofমোৰ বহুত বন্ধু আছে। “I have many friends.”
অলপa little, someমোৰ অলপ চাহ আছে। “I have a little tea.”

বহুত can also come before a describing word, just like বৰ: বহুত দূৰ “very far”.

অলপ before a describing word means “a bit”. The describing word does not change.

To say you have none, use নাই: মোৰ বন্ধু নাই। “I have no friends.”
