ভাল লাগে

Something Pleases Me

Level 2Sounds Like bhāla lāgē

The person takes -ৰ, and the thing liked comes next: মোৰ চাহ ভাল লাগে.

How It Works

This is a different sentence shape from ভাল পাওঁ. The person is in the -ৰ form, as if you said “to me, tea is pleasing”.

Who likesExample
মোৰ “my”মোৰ কেণ্ডেললাইট ভাল লাগে
তোমাৰতোমাৰ চাহ ভাল লাগে নেকি?
তেওঁৰতেওঁৰ গান ভাল লাগে

The verb লাগে does not change for the person. The words are the same for “I like it” and “you like it”, and only the first word changes.

The negative is ভাল নালাগে: মোৰ চাহ ভাল নালাগে “I do not like tea”.

A question word can stand in for the thing: আপোনাৰ কি বেছি ভাল লাগে? “what do you like more?”.

Examples (5)

    I like candlelight.

    মোৰ is the person who likes.

  2. মোৰ বসন্ত ভাল লাগে।

    I like spring.

    The thing liked comes after মোৰ.

    Do you like tea?

    নেকি makes it a question.

  4. তেওঁৰ গান ভাল লাগে।

    He likes music.

    তেওঁৰ is the person who likes.

  5. আপোনাৰ কি বেছি ভাল লাগে?

    A question word can take the place of the thing liked.

Common Mistakes

  • With ভাল লাগে, the person who likes takes -ৰ, not the plain মই.

    মই চাহ ভাল লাগে।
    মোৰ চাহ ভাল লাগে।

    মই goes with ভাল পাওঁ. ভাল লাগে needs মোৰ.
