Level 4Sounds Like ra saitē

মোৰ ল’ৰাৰ সৈতে means “with my son”.

How It Works

-ৰ সৈতে is used for company and for a link between two things.

PhraseMeans
ল’ৰাৰ সৈতেwith the boy
নাজমাৰ সৈতেwith Nazma
সংস্কৃতিৰ সৈতেwith the culture

Like -ৰ লগত, it stands apart from the noun. For a pronoun, মোৰ “my” goes before it: মোৰ সৈতে “with me”.

The phrase comes before the verb: নাজমাৰ সৈতে কথা পাতিলে “spoke with Nazma”. Use either one for “with a person”. সৈতে also joins two things, as in সংস্কৃতিৰ সৈতে, and it appears often in news and school books.
