This One and That One

Level 1Sounds Like ē'iṭō / sē'iṭō

এইটো is “this one” and সেইটো is “that one”: এইটো কি? “what is this?”.

How It Works

এইটো and সেইটো stand where a noun would be, so you do not need to name the thing.

With a noun	Alone
এই কিতাপ “this book”	এইটো “this one”
সেই কলম “that pen”	সেইটো “that one”

They point at things and animals. For a person use এইজন and সেইজন, and for a flat thing use এইখন and সেইখন.

Both words stand for one thing or one animal. They can make a full sentence, as in এইটো মোৰ। “This one is mine.”

এইটো often starts a question or a short statement: এইটো কি? “what is this?”, সেইটো নহয়। “that is not it.”

এইটো কাৰ ফোন?
Whose phone is this?
এইটো is the subject, and কাৰ asks about the owner.
এইটো কি?
What is this?
কি asks what the thing is.
সেইটো নহয়।
That is not it.
নহয় is the negative copula.
সেইটো বৰ গৰম।
That is very hot.
সেইটো points at a hot thing, and বৰ strengthens গৰম.
