Schedule & Booking

1. এটি কখন খোলে?

   E-ti ko-khon kho-le?

   What time does this open?

   Usage

   Used to check opening times at tourist sites, shops, or offices

   Grammar Note

   "Khola" = to open. "Khule" (present) expresses habitual action. Pair with "bondho hoy kokhon" (when does it close?).

2. কখন বন্ধ হয়?

   Ko-khon bon-dho hoy?

   What time does it close?

   Usage

   Used to check closing times. In Bangladesh, many shops close during Friday prayer times

   Grammar Note

   "Bondho" (closed) is borrowed from Arabic/Persian. Signs reading "Shukrobar bondho" (closed Friday) are common in Bangladesh.

3. আগামীকাল খোলা থাকবে?

   A-ga-mi-kal kho-la thak-be?

   Will it be open tomorrow?

   Usage

   Used to check if a place will be open the next day, especially around holidays or weekends

   Grammar Note

   "Thakbe" is the future of "to remain." "Khola thakbe" = "will remain open." A very natural construction in Bengali.

4. অ্যাপয়েন্টমেন্ট নেওয়া দরকার?

   A-poy-en-tment ne-o-ya do-ro-kar?

   Is it necessary to make an appointment?

   Usage

   Used to check if an appointment is required before visiting a doctor or service provider

   Grammar Note

   "Dorokar" means necessity. Use "dorokar ache" (necessary) or "dorokar nei" (not necessary).

5. কখন আসব?

   Ko-khon ash-bo?

   When should I come?

   Usage

   Used to arrange the timing of a visit, appointment, or service

   Grammar Note

   "Ashbo" is the 1st-person volitional future of "to come." As a question, it means "when should I come?"

6. আমি একটু দেরিতে আসব

   A-mi e-ko-tu de-ri-te ash-bo

   I will come a little late

   Usage

   Used to notify that you will be running late. Important in Bangladesh where traffic jams are very common

   Grammar Note

   "Deri" means delay/lateness. "Derite" (locative form) expresses "in a late manner." Traffic delays are extremely common in Dhaka.

7. টিকিট কতদিন আগে কিনতে হবে?

   Ti-ket ko-to-din a-ge kin-te ho-be?

   How many days in advance do I need to buy the ticket?

   Usage

   Used to ask how far in advance to buy tickets for buses, trains, or tourist attractions

   Grammar Note

   "Kotodin" = how many days; "koto" is the quantity question word. "Hobe" marks obligation. Advance booking is recommended for long-distance travel.

8. শেষ বাস কখন ছাড়ে?

   Shesh bash ko-khon chha-re?

   What time does the last bus depart?

   Usage

   Used to check the last bus departure time. Important when planning trips to rural areas

   Grammar Note

   "Chhara" as a verb means "to depart/leave." "Shesh" (last/final) is Sanskrit-origin. The final bus is critical for rural destinations.

9. আজকে কি বন্ধের দিন?

   Aj-ke ki bon-dher din?

   Is today a holiday / closed day?

   Usage

   Used to check if a place is closed today. Useful on Fridays or national holidays

   "Bondher din" literally means "closing day." National holidays include Independence Day (March 26) and Victory Day (December 16).

10. কত সময় লাগবে?

    Ko-to sho-moy lag-be?

    How long will it take?

    Usage

    Used to estimate travel time or waiting time. Critical in Dhaka where traffic can make journeys unpredictable

    Grammar Note

    "Laga" is a versatile verb. "Shomoy lagbe" = time will be needed. Dhaka's traffic is notoriously among the world's worst.
