12. দাম কত?

    How much does it cost?

    Usage

    Asking for the price while shopping or at a restaurant in Bangladesh or West Bengal

    Grammar Note

    Bangladesh uses Taka (টাকা); West Bengal uses Rupee (রুপি) — specify the currency when needed.

13. আমার বয়স সাতাশ বছর।

    Amar boyosh shatash bochor.

    I'm 27 years old

    Usage

    How to answer "Apnar boyosh koto?" (how old are you?)

    Grammar Note

    Bengali has a distinct word for every number from 1 to 100 rather than compounding "twenty" and "seven": 27 is "shatash" and 28 is "athash", two separate words. Age is "amar boyosh + number + bochor", with no copula

14. এই বছর আমার বয়স আঠাশ হবে।

    Ei bochor amar boyosh athash hobe.

    I turn 28 this year

    Usage

    Starting with "ei bochor" (this year) and ending with "hobe" (will be) gives "I turn … this year"

    Grammar Note

    "Ei" (this) precedes its noun, so "ei bochor" is "this year". A statement of current age takes no verb, but an age you are about to reach adds the future "hobe" (will be) at the end — the same verb as in "Boarding kokhon shuru hobe?" (when does boarding start?)
