-সকল
Many People: -সকল
-সকল is the plural for people.
How It Works
The ending -সকল is used with words for people.
| One | The group |
|---|---|
| বন্ধু “friend” | বন্ধুসকল “the friends” |
| শিক্ষক “teacher” | শিক্ষকসকল “the teachers” |
| ছাত্ৰ “student” | ছাত্ৰসকল “the students” |
The ending gives the group a little respect and is common in newspapers and speeches. In daily talk people also use -বোৰ, as in মানুহবোৰ “the people”.
When the group does an action to something, it takes the doer ending: বন্ধুসকলে চাহ খায় “the friends drink tea”.
A word before it can say whose they are: ছামিৰ বন্ধুসকল “Sami’s friends”.
The ending is not needed after a number: তিনিজন বন্ধু “three friends”.
