ইয়াত / তাত

Here and There

Level 1Sounds Like iẏāta / tāta

ইয়াত is “here” and তাত is “there”: সেইখন কিতাপ ইয়াত আছে “that book is here”.

How It Works

ইয়াত and তাত are place words. They take the position of a place with -ত, such as ঘৰত.

WordMeaningExample
ইয়াতhereইয়াত বিষায়। “It hurts here.”
তাতthereতাত সেইটো কি? “What is that over there?”

They often come right before the verb, but they can also begin a sentence.

They can also come right after the person or thing you talk about: মা তাত আছে। “Mother is there.”

Both words answer the question ক’ত? “where?”. For movement towards a place, a later lesson adds -লৈ.
