ভিতৰত / বাহিৰত

Inside and Outside

Level 2Sounds Like bhitarata / bāhirata

ভিতৰত is “inside”, and বাহিৰত is “outside”.

How It Works

PhraseMeaning
ঘৰৰ ভিতৰতinside the house
ঘৰৰ বাহিৰতoutside the house
ভিতৰত আছোঁI am inside
বাহিৰত আছেis outside

Like the other place words, they end in -ত “at”. After a noun, the noun takes -ৰ and the place word stands apart: ঘৰৰ ভিতৰত.

A classifier on the noun points to one particular thing: ঘৰটোৰ ভিতৰত “inside the house”.

Alone, they answer the question “where?” and need no noun. মোৰ দেউতা ভিতৰত আছে means “my father is inside”. With a verb of action they say where it happens: ল’ৰাবোৰ বাহিৰত খেলে “the boys play outside”.
