Free Online Bengali-English Translation

...an easy guide to Bengali words, phrases and their pronunciation

                                                                                                                                                   

As a translator, I frequently receive requests from people around the world for the translation of simple words and phrases from Bengali. Sometimes  tourists to India and Bangladesh want to know a few Bengali words and phrases of daily use and their English equivalents. So here is a list of some common English words and phrases and their Bengali translations. I have also included pronunciation guides to help non-native learners of Bengali. If you want me to add a word or a phrase to this list, please send your request to me here. For my professional services as a translator, please click here.

 

Bengali is spoken by 200 million people in Bangladesh, in the state of West Bengal in India as well as elsewhere in India and beyond. It belongs to the Indo-Aryan branch of the Indo-European language family and its  immediate ancestors are Sanskrit and Prakrit. Learning Bengali will provide you access to an intensely throbbing life of the teeming millions, knowledge of a rich flora and fauna, plants and animals, many of which may not be found elsewhere in the world, as well as a great literature that dates back to 1000 A.D., a wide variety of classical and folk art forms, music and drama. The cultural tradition of Bengal derives, in almost equal measure, from the classical Sanskrit literature, later colonial contacts and indigenous folk traditions.

 

For the speakers of English and other European languages, Bengali falls under Category II in terms of difficulty of learning the language as it has significant linguistic and cultural differences for foreign speakers. However, if you have a good guide and some determination, it may not be so difficult to learn.
