For a respected person, writers use তেখেতৰ মতে. A question can use the same phrase: আপোনাৰ মতে গুৱাহাটীৰ কোনখন বজাৰ ভাল? asks “which market in Guwahati do you think is good?”.

অনুসৰি usually follows the noun directly, with no ending: তথ্য অনুসৰি “according to the information”, সংজ্ঞা অনুসৰি “according to the definition”. It is common in news and school books.
