Grammar Point:



In Bengali, adjectives come after the noun. For example, to say "cold weather", we say "ঠান্ডা আবহাওয়া" (ṭhāṇḍā abohāwā).
Keep in mind that Bengali sentences typically follow Subject-Object-Verb (SOV) structure.


Examples:



  • আজ রোদ আছে। (āj rod āchhe.) – Today there is sun. / It is sunny today.

  • আজ বৃষ্টি হচ্ছে। (āj brishti hochchhe.) – Today it is raining.

  • আবহাওয়া ঠান্ডা। (abohāwā ṭhāṇḍā.) – The weather is cold.
