In a Certain Way: -ভাৱে

Level 6Sounds Like bhāraē

-ভাৱে gives a word for how something is done: সমূহীয়াভাৱে “as a group, together”.

How It Works

The ending is ভাৱ “way, manner” with -এ. It builds many “how” words in newspapers and school books.

WordWith -ভাৱে
স্পষ্ট “clear”স্পষ্টভাৱে “clearly”
প্ৰাকৃতিক “natural”প্ৰাকৃতিকভাৱে “naturally”
তুলনামূলক “comparative”তুলনামূলকভাৱে “comparatively”
ব্যক্তিগত “personal”ব্যক্তিগতভাৱে “personally”
সমূহীয়া “shared by a group”সমূহীয়াভাৱে “as a group”

Write the ending with ৱ, as print does. The word ভাবে with ব is the verb “thinks”, which is a different word.

The words made with -ভাৱে usually stand before the verb, or at the start of the sentence to comment on the whole of it, as in ব্যক্তিগতভাৱে.
