-ৰ দৰে stands after the thing you compare with: আপোনাৰ দৰে কোনো নাই “there is nobody like you”.

How It Works

-ৰ দৰে compares one thing with another. The compared thing takes -ৰ, the ending that means “of”. Then দৰে follows as its own word.

The compared thing is the one whose quality you know. ইয়াৰ সোৱাদ চাহৰ দৰে says that this tastes the way tea tastes.
