Hiking & Trekking

   Ei batere koloi jay?

   Where does this trail lead?

   Usage

   Asks where a path leads

   Grammar Note

   বাট is a path; adding ৰে gives 'by way of the path'. ক'লৈ is 'to where' and is a different word from কত

2. বাটটো কিমান দীঘল?

   Batoto kiman dighol?

   How long is the trail?

   Usage

   Asks the length of the route

   টো makes the noun definite. কিমান asks for degree and goes before the adjective দীঘল

    Usage

    Says you hurt your foot and need help

    Grammar Note

    ভৰি is the foot or leg; no verified word for 'ankle' was found. আঘাত লাগে is 'to get hurt' and সহায় লাগে is 'help is needed'

    Eitowei xuddho bat neki?

    Is this the right path?
