এইজন / সেইজন
This Person and That Person
এইজন is “this person” and সেইজন is “that person”: এইজন মোৰ ককাই “this is my elder brother”.
How It Works
These words stand for a person without naming the person. They are handy when you introduce people.
| Person | Near | Far |
|---|---|---|
| a man, or any person | এইজন | সেইজন |
| a woman or a girl | এইজনী | সেইজনী |
A noun can follow them: এইজন চীনা মানুহ। “This man is Chinese.”
In an introduction, say the pointing word first and then who the person is to you: এইজন মোৰ ককাই। “This is my elder brother.” To ask who a person is, use কোন: সেইজন কোন? “Who is that person?”
Use them for people. Things take -টো and flat things take -খন.
