Types of Comparison
There are three types of comparisons that we use in Bengali:
- Positive comparison
- Comparative comparison
- Superlative comparison
Positive Comparison
A positive comparison is used when we want to talk about one thing or person. It is the simplest form of comparison in Bengali. To form a positive comparison, we use the positive form of an adjective or adverb. For example:
Bengali | Pronunciation | English |
---|---|---|
বড় | bor | big |
সুন্দর | sundor | beautiful |
ভালো | bhalo | good |
Comparative Comparison
A comparative comparison is used when we want to compare two things or people. In Bengali, we form the comparative comparison by adding the suffix "-তর" ("-tor") to the adjective or adverb. For example:
Bengali | Pronunciation | English |
---|---|---|
বড়তর | bortor | bigger |
সুন্দরতর | sundortor | more beautiful |
ভালোতর | bhalotor | better |
In some cases, we might also use the word "আরো" ("aro") before the adjective or adverb to mean "more". For example:
Bengali | Pronunciation | English |
---|---|---|
আরো বড় | aro bor | bigger |
আরো সুন্দর | aro sundor | more beautiful |
আরো ভালো | aro bhalo | better |
Superlative Comparison
A superlative comparison is used when we want to compare one thing or person to a group of things or people. In Bengali, we form the superlative comparison by adding the suffix "-তম" ("-tom") to the adjective or adverb. For example:
Bengali | Pronunciation | English |
---|---|---|
বড়তম | bortom | biggest |
সুন্দরতম | sundortom | most beautiful |
ভালোতম | bhalotom | best |
In some cases, we might also use the word "সবচেয়ে" ("shobcheye") before the adjective or adverb to mean "most". For example:
Bengali | Pronunciation | English |
---|---|---|
সবচেয়ে বড় | shobcheye bor | biggest |
সবচেয়ে সুন্দর | shobcheye sundor | most beautiful |
সবচেয়ে ভালো | shobcheye bhalo | best |
Conclusion
Making comparisons is an essential part of speaking and writing in Bengali. In this lesson, we covered the three types of comparisons and the rules for forming them using adjectives and adverbs. As you continue to learn Bengali, keep practicing these rules so that you can use them effectively in your communication.
