Nightlife

1. ৰাতি ক'লৈ যাবলৈ ভাল?

   Rati koloi jaboloi bhal?

   Where is a good place to go at night?

   Usage

   Asks hotel staff or locals for ideas for the evening

   Grammar Note

   ক'লৈ is 'to where', the directional form of ক'ত. যাবলৈ ভাল means 'good to go to'. The question word stays in its normal place in the sentence

2. ভাল ৰেষ্টুৰেণ্ট ক'ত আছে?

   Bhal resturento kot ase?

   Where is there a good restaurant?

   Usage

   The basic question when looking for somewhere to have dinner

   Grammar Note

   ৰেষ্টুৰেণ্ট is an English loanword. The adjective ভাল goes before the noun

3. মই চাহ খাবলৈ যাম

   Moi sah khaboloi jam

   I will go to have tea

   Usage

   Says you are heading out for tea; an evening cup is a daily habit in Assam

   Grammar Note

   যাম is the first-person future of যোৱা 'go'. খাবলৈ shows purpose, and tea also takes the verb খোৱা

4. কফিৰ দোকান ক'ত আছে?

   Kophir dokan kot ase?

   Where is a coffee shop?

   Usage

   Finds a café; outside the cities tea stalls are far more common

   Grammar Note

   The suffix ৰ marks 'of', so কফিৰ দোকান is 'coffee shop'. দোকান means shop in general

5. ৰাতি কেইটা বজাত বন্ধ হয়?

   Rati keita bojat bondho hoy?

   What time does it close at night?

   Usage

   Checks the closing time of a shop or bar

   Grammar Note

   বন্ধ হয় is 'closes'; বন্ধ is the closed state and হয় 'becomes'. Ask the time with কেইটা বজাত

6. গধূলি আমি কি কৰিম?

   Godhuli ami ki korim?

   What shall we do in the evening?

   Usage

   Discusses the plan for the evening with a companion

   Grammar Note

   গধূলি is dusk, around sunset. আমি is 'we' and the first-person future কৰিম doubles as 'shall we do'

7. মই গান শুনিবলৈ যাম

   Moi gan xuniboloi jam

   I will go to listen to music

   Usage

   Mentions that you are going to a concert or a singing event

   Grammar Note

   গান is song and also music in general. শুনিবলৈ যাম is 'will go to listen'; the purpose ending বলৈ is widely reusable

8. অকলে যোৱা নিৰাপদ নেকি?

   Okole jowa nirapod neki?

   Is it safe to go alone?

   Usage

   Asks a local whether it is safe to go alone before heading out at night

   Grammar Note

   যোৱা is the noun form of 'go', 'going'. নেকি is a sentence-final particle that makes a yes-no question

   Guwahati ratio bor dhuniya

   Guwahati is beautiful at night too

   Usage

   Shares your impression of the city at night, such as the lit riverfront

   Grammar Note

   The suffix ও means 'also', so ৰাতিও is 'at night too'. গুৱাহাটী is spelled with ৱ

10. মই মাজনিশা ঘৰলৈ যাম

    Moi majonixa ghoroloi jam

    I will return home at midnight

    Usage
