যি … সেই
Whoever … That One
শিক্ষকে যি ক’লে তাকেই লিখাঁ means “write what the teacher said”.
How It Works
The first part is a describing clause with যি. The second part names the same thing with সি, সেই or তাক, often with -ই for stress.
| First part | Second part | Means |
|---|---|---|
| যি | তাকেই | whatever … that very thing |
| যিজন | সেইজন | the person who … that person |
| যিটো | সেইটো | the thing that … that thing |
Examples: মই যি কিনিম বুলি ক’লোঁ তাকেই কিনিলোঁ “I bought what I said I would buy”, and তেওঁ যিজন লাজকুৰীয়া ল’ৰা আছিল, সেইজন এতিয়া ডাঙৰ মানুহ হৈছে “the shy boy he was has now become a grown man”.
The second part can be left out: তুমি যি ক’লা ঠিকেই ক’লা “what you said is right”. When the first part names a person, use যিজন or, for the doer, যিয়ে.
Examples (5)
- শিক্ষকে যি ক’লে তাকেই লিখাঁ।
Write what the teacher said.
যি opens the first part, and তাকেই picks it up.
- মই যি কিনিম বুলি ক’লোঁ তাকেই কিনিলোঁ।
I bought what I said I would buy.
The same pair, with a longer first part.
- যি মৰ্জি তাকেই কৰক।
Do as you wish.
যি opens the first part, and তাকেই picks it up and names what to do.
- তেওঁ যিজন লাজকুৰীয়া ল’ৰা আছিল, সেইজন এতিয়া ডাঙৰ মানুহ হৈছে।
The shy boy he was has now become a grown man.
যিজন and সেইজন point to a person.
- তুমি যি ক’লা ঠিকেই ক’লা।
What you said is right.
The second part can be only the verb.

যি … সেই is a pair of the same kind as যেতিয়া … তেতিয়া, and সেই points back to যি, so learners need that pair and এই and সেই first.
