Internet & WiFi

1. ওয়াই-ফাই পাসওয়ার্ড কী?

   Wa-i-fai pas-o-yard ki?

   What is the Wi-Fi password?

   Usage

   Essential phrase for asking for Wi-Fi access in hotels, cafes, or guesthouses

   Grammar Note

   Modern Bengali freely borrows technology vocabulary from English. "Ki" is the question word for "what."

2. এখানে কি ওয়াই-ফাই আছে?

   E-kha-ne ki wa-i-fai a-che?

   Is there Wi-Fi here?

   Usage

   Used to check Wi-Fi availability at a location. Handy in Dhaka cafes and restaurants

   Grammar Note

   "Ki" placed within the sentence forms a yes/no question. Rising intonation on "ache" alone also signals a question.

3. সিম কার্ড কোথায় পাওয়া যাবে?

   Sim kard ko-thay pa-o-ya ja-be?

   Where can I buy a SIM card?

   Usage

   Bangladesh has major carriers like Grameenphone, Banglalink, and Robi. SIMs are widely sold at shops and airports

   Grammar Note

   Purchasing a SIM card usually requires a passport. Available at airport arrival lobbies and mobile shops in Dhaka.

4. ইন্টারনেট কানেকশন স্লো

   In-tar-net ka-nek-shon slo

   The internet connection is slow

   Usage

   Used to report slow internet to hotel or cafe staff

   Grammar Note

   English "slow" is commonly borrowed. Native Bengali "dhir" also works, but the English borrowing is more widely understood.

5. ফোন চার্জ করার জায়গা আছে?

   Phon charj ko-rar ja-ga a-che?

   Is there a place to charge my phone?

   Usage

   Used to find a charging spot. Power outages (load shedding) are common in Bangladesh, so checking in advance is wise

   Grammar Note

   "Korar" is the genitive form of the verb (for doing). "Jaga ache" means "there is a place."

6. হটস্পট শেয়ার করতে পারবেন?

   Hot-spot she-ar kor-te par-ben?

   Can you share your hotspot?

   Usage

   Used to ask someone to share mobile data via hotspot when Wi-Fi is unavailable

   Grammar Note

   Modern Bengali readily adopts English IT terms. "Parben" is the polite future of "to be able to."

7. ইন্টারনেট প্যাকেজ কিনতে চাই

   In-tar-net pa-kej kin-te cha-i

   I want to buy an internet package

   Usage

   Bangladesh offers affordable prepaid data packages. Used at mobile phone shops

   Grammar Note

   "Kinte chai" is a standard construction for expressing purchasing intent. "Chai" is the 1st-person form of "to want."

8. ভিপিএন ব্যবহার করা যাবে?

   Vi-pi-en byo-bo-har ko-ra ja-be?

   Can I use a VPN?

   Usage

   Some websites are periodically blocked in Bangladesh. This phrase checks VPN accessibility

   Grammar Note

   "Byabohar kora jabe" is a passive potential structure. "Byabohar kora" is the gerund; "jabe" provides the modal "can."

9. নেটওয়ার্ক কাজ করছে না

   Net-o-yark kaj kor-chhe na

   The network is not working

   Usage

   Used to report network issues to hotel or cafe staff

   Grammar Note

   "Kaj korchhe na" is the negative present continuous. "Na" at the end negates the sentence. "Kaj" means both "work" and "function."

10. ডেটা রোমিং চালু করতে হবে?

    De-ta ro-ming cha-lu kor-te ho-be?

    Do I need to turn on data roaming?

    Usage

    Used to check if roaming is necessary upon arriving in Bangladesh

    Grammar Note

    "Korte hobe" expresses necessity ("must do"). Turn it into a question with rising intonation.
