-িব খোজে / -িব বিচাৰে

Wanting to Do Something

Level 2Sounds Like ̔iba khōjē / -̔iba bicāraē

The -িব form (or -ব after a vowel) + খোজ or বিচাৰ means “want to”.

How It Works

The first word is the same -িব form that you know from the future, such as কৰিব and যাব. The second word is a verb with a normal present ending.

খোজ also means “ask for” and বিচাৰ also means “look for”. After a -িব verb they both mean “want”.

A yes-or-no question adds -নে to the end: আপুনি আহিব খোজেনে? “do you want to come?”.

Put the thing wanted before the first verb: তাই চাহ খাব বিচাৰে “she wants to drink tea”.

ময়ো যাব বিচাৰোঁ।
I want to go too.
যাব বিচাৰোঁ means “want to go”.
ৰফিকুলে তেজপুৰত পঢ়িব খোজে।
Rafiqul wants to study in Tezpur.
পঢ়িব খোজে means “wants to study”.
আপুনি আহিব খোজেনে?
Do you want to come?
-নে makes it a yes-or-no question.
মই ঘৰলৈ যাব খোজোঁ।
I want to go home.
খোজোঁ goes with মই.
তাই চাহ খাব বিচাৰে।
She wants to drink tea.
বিচাৰে goes with তাই.
