What locals actually say

How are you?

আপনি কেমন আছেন?

“Apni” is the respectful you, “tumi” is for friends, and the verb changes with the choice. Getting it wrong rewrites the relationship.

Thank you.

ধন্যবাদ

“Dhonnobad” is the standard thanks in Bangladesh, warmer in speech than on paper.

How much?

কত টাকা?

“Koto taka”, literally how much taka, is the everyday market question in Bangladesh, currency baked in.

Where can I get a rickshaw to the market?

ভাই, বাজারে যাওয়ার রিকশা কোথায় পাব?

ভাই is a common friendly form of address in Bangladesh, and পাব is a natural casual way to ask where to find something.

Please make it less spicy.

ঝালটা একটু কম দিয়েন, প্লিজ।

দিয়েন is a Bangladeshi colloquial polite request form, softer and more local than the standard formal দিন.

My older brother is coming home tonight.

আমার বড় ভাইয়া আজ রাতে বাসায় আসবে।

ভাইয়া is a familiar Bangladeshi kinship term for an older brother, while বাসায় is the everyday Dhaka word for at home.

I don’t have to go to the office today; I’ll work from home.

আজকে অফিসে যাওয়া লাগবে না, বাসা থেকেই কাজ করব।

যাওয়া লাগবে না is a common Bangladeshi colloquial construction for not needing to go, and বাসা is everyday Bangladesh usage.

It might rain this evening.

আজ সন্ধ্যার দিকে বৃষ্টি নামতে পারে।

বৃষ্টি নামা is a colloquial Bangladeshi expression meaning rain may start or come down, especially in everyday weather talk.
