Level 2Sounds Like ra paraā

How It Works

-ৰ পৰা has two parts. The ending -ৰ “of” attaches to the noun. The word পৰা stands apart after it.

The phrase is used with verbs of coming and leaving: আহ “come”, ওলা “go out”. It is the opposite of -লৈ “to”.

The question is ক’ৰ পৰা আহা? “where do you come from?”. The answer is a place and -ৰ পৰা, such as মই গুৱাহাটীৰ পৰা আহোঁ.

The same phrase also means “from” a person: তোমাৰ পৰা “from you”.
