Car Rental & Driving

1. মই কেইদিনমান গাড়ী ভাড়ালৈ ল'ব বিচাৰোঁ

   Moi keidinoman gari bharaloi lob bisarõ

   I'd like to rent a car for a few days

   Usage

   Tells a rental agency you want to rent a car

   Grammar Note

   ভাড়ালৈ ল'ব is 'to take on hire'. The apostrophe in ল'ব is the plain ASCII mark for a dropped vowel

2. এই ভাড়াত কি কি অন্তৰ্ভুক্ত?

   Ei bharat ki ki ontorbhukto?

   What is included in this rental price?

   Usage

   Asks what the rental fee covers

   Grammar Note

   ভাড়া is rent or fare. The locative ত in ভাড়াত gives 'within the rent'. Doubling কি কি asks 'which things'

3. জিপিএছ থকা গাড়ী আছেনে?

   Jipies thoka gari asene?

   Do you have a car with GPS?

   Usage

   Asks for a car fitted with GPS

   Grammar Note

   থকা 'having' is a modifier, so জিপিএছ থকা গাড়ী is 'a car that has GPS'. No reliable word for an automatic gearbox was found, so it is left out

4. বীমাৰ কি কি বিকল্প আছে?

   Bimar ki ki bikolpo ase?

   What insurance options are there?

   Usage

   Asks what kinds of car insurance are offered

   Grammar Note

   বীমা is insurance, in the genitive ৰ for 'of insurance'. বিকল্প is an option

5. তেল সম্পূৰ্ণ ভৰাই গাড়ীখন ঘূৰাই দিব লাগিবনে?

   Tel xompurno bhorai garikhon ghurai dib lagibone?

   Do I have to return the car with a full tank?

   Usage

   Checks whether the fuel tank must be full on return

   Grammar Note

   তেল means oil and is also used for fuel. ঘূৰাই দিব is 'give back' and লাগিবনে asks 'is it necessary'. This is a composed sentence: each word is verified and the grammar is regular, but the exact phrasing is not a fixed expression

6. কিলোমিটাৰৰ সীমা আছেনে?

   Kilomitaror xima asene?

   Is there a kilometre limit?

   Usage

   Asks whether the rental limits the distance

   Grammar Note

   সীমা is a limit or border. কিলোমিটাৰৰ সীমা is a limit on distance

7. গাড়ীখনত দাগ বা ক্ষতি হৈছে, মই জনাব বিচাৰোঁ

   Garikhonot dag ba khoti hoise, moi jonab bisarõ

   The car has a mark or damage; I want to report it

   Usage

   Reports a scratch or damage on the rental car

   Grammar Note

   গাড়ীখনত is গাড়ী plus the definite খন and the locative ত. হৈছে is the perfect form of হোৱা 'to happen'. This is a composed sentence: each word is verified and the grammar is regular, but the exact phrasing is not a fixed expression

8. ওচৰৰ পেট্ৰ'ল পাম্প ক'ত আছে?

   Osoror petrool pampo kot ase?

   Where is the nearest petrol pump?

   Usage

   Asks where the nearest fuel station is

   Grammar Note

   পেট্ৰ'ল পাম্প is the fuel station. Both words are English loans, and the apostrophe marks a dropped vowel

9. এই গাড়ী লৈ আন ৰাজ্যলৈ যাব পাৰিবনে?

   Ei gari loi an rajyoloi jab paribone?

   Can I take this car to another state?

   Usage

   Checks whether the car may leave Assam, for example for a neighbouring state

   Grammar Note

   ৰাজ্য is a state. লৈ marks direction, so ৰাজ্যলৈ is 'to the state'. গাড়ী লৈ is 'taking the car'

10. পুলিচে মোৰ গাড়ী ৰখাই দিলে। মই কি কৰিব লাগে?

    Pulise mor gari rokhai dile. moi ki korib lage?

    The police stopped my car. What should I do?

    Usage

    Asks what to do after being stopped by the police at a check

    Grammar Note

    The ending ে on পুলিচে marks the doer of the action. ৰখাই দিলে means 'stopped it'. The two sentences are separated by the danda ।

11. এই পথত টোল দিব লাগিবনে?

    Ei pothot tol dib lagibone?

    Do I have to pay a toll on this road?

    Usage

    Asks whether a toll must be paid on a road

    Grammar Note

    টোল is a toll; the dictionary lists another sense first (a Sanskrit school), but on a road it means toll. দিব লাগিব is 'must pay'

12. ইয়াত পাৰ্কিংৰ নিয়ম কি?

    Iyat parkingr niyom ki?

    What are the parking rules here?

    Usage

    Asks where and for how long you may park

    Grammar Note

    পাৰ্কিং is an English loan. নিয়ম is a rule. কি sits in the predicate position as 'what'

13. গাড়ীখন ষ্টাৰ্ট নহয়

    Garikhon starto nohoy

    The car won't start

    Usage

    Tells the rental agency or a mechanic that the car will not start

    Grammar Note

    ষ্টাৰ্ট নহয় means 'does not start': the English loan ষ্টাৰ্ট plus নহয় 'does not become'

14. শিশুৰ বাবে বিশেষ আসন আছেনে?

    Xixur babe bixex axon asene?

    Do you have a special seat for a child?

    Usage

    Asks for a child seat. No reliable term for child seat was found, so it says 'special seat for a child'

    Grammar Note

    শিশু is a young child. বিশেষ আসন is 'special seat'. ৰ বাবে means 'for'. This is a composed sentence: each word is verified and the grammar is regular, but the exact phrasing is not a fixed expression

15. বৈদ্যুতিক গাড়ী আছেনে?

    Boidyutik gari asene?

    Do you have an electric car?

    Usage

    Asks for an electric car. No reliable word for hybrid was found
