Conditions and wishes: যদি… তাহলে, ইচ্ছা থাকলে
Bengali conditions run on two frames: যদি + condition, তাহলে + result for real conditions, and past-conditioned হলে for unreal ones. Wishes use ইচ্ছা (desire) or হলেই ভালো হতো.
| Word | Say it | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| যদি | jodi | if |
| তাহলে | tahole | then |
| হলে | hole | if it were, in that case |
| ইচ্ছা | ichchha | wish, desire |
| শর্ত | shôrto | condition |
যদি সময় থাকে, তাহলে আমি আসব. আমি যদি চাইতাম, তাহলে আসতাম. A formal request can hide in hole: আপনার অনুমতি হলে আমি শুরু করি.
jodi + clause, tahole + result (real) · … hole … (unreal or polite)| Word | Say it | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| যদি টাকা থাকে, আমি কিনব। | jodi ṭaka thake, ami kinbo. | If I have the money, I'll buy it. |
| সময় হলে আমরা দেখা করব। | shômoy hole amra dekha kôrbo. | If there is time, we will meet. |
| আমার ইচ্ছা যাতে সবাই একমত হয়। | amar ichchha jate shobai ekmot hôy. | My wish is that everyone agrees. |
- যদি আমি আসি, তখন আমি দেখব। → যদি আমি আসি, তাহলে দেখব। The pair is যদি… তাহলে; তখন is 'at that time'.
- যদি টাকা ছিল, আমি কিনেছি। → যদি টাকা থাকত, আমি কিনতাম। An unreal condition needs থাকত/কিনতাম, not real past forms.

How sure are you? Certainty in Bengali
Bengali grades certainty with a small ladder: নিশ্চিত (certain), সম্ভবত (probably), হয়তো (perhaps), মনে হয় (it seems). In reports the impersonal frame is expected: বলা হয়েছে, মনে করা হচ্ছে.
| Word | Say it | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| নিশ্চিত | nishchito | certain |
| সম্ভবত | shombhôboto | probably |
| হয়তো | hôyto | perhaps |
| মনে করা | mone kôra | to think, to consider |
| প্রমাণ | proman | proof, evidence |
এটা নিশ্চিত নয়, তবে সম্ভবত আমরা সময়মতো শেষ করব. হয়তো একদিন দেরি হবে. Reports: মনে করা হচ্ছে যে দাম বাড়বে.
nishchito > shombhôboto > hôyto > mone hôy| Word | Say it | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| আমি নিশ্চিত যে সে আসবে। | ami nishchito je she ashbe. | I am certain that he will come. |
| সম্ভবত আগামী সপ্তাহে কাজ শেষ হবে। | shombhôboto agami shoptahe kaj shesh hobe. | The work will probably finish next week. |
| হয়তো সে এখনো আসেনি। | hôyto she ekhono asheni. | Perhaps he has not come yet. |
- সম্ভবত নিশ্চিত। → (use one degree of certainty) Two certainty words cancel each other.
- এটা প্রমাণ যে দাম বাড়বে। → এটা সম্ভবত ঘটবে; প্রমাণ এখনো নেই। A forecast is not proof — keep প্রমাণ for evidence.
Dialogue. Read it aloud twice — once for each speaker.

একদিন আমি বাজারে গিয়েছিলাম. তারপর হঠাৎ বৃষ্টি শুরু হলো. শেষে আমি ভিজে বাড়ি ফিরলাম — সত্যিই, বিনা মেঘে বজ্রপাত! One turn, one saying.
ekdin… · tarpor… · haṭhat… · sheshe… + a proverb| Word | Say it | Meaning |

| একদিন গ্রামে একটা বাঘ এসেছিল। | ekdin grame ekṭa bagh eshechhilo. | One day a tiger came to the village. |
| হঠাৎ সবাই চুপ হয়ে গেল। | haṭhat shobai chup hôye gelo. | Suddenly everyone fell silent. |
| শেষে সবাই একমত হলো যে ভয়টা বাড়িয়ে বলা হয়েছিল। | sheshe shobai ekmot hôlo je bhoyṭa bariye bôla hoyechhilo. | In the end everyone agreed the fear had been exaggerated. |
- একদিন, তারপর, হঠাৎ। → (one marker per sentence) Markers are sentences' work; a chain of them is not a story.
- শেষে আমি ভিজে ভিজে ভিজে ফিরলাম। → শেষে আমি ভিজে বাড়ি ফিরলাম। Bengali repeats a word for emphasis rarely; here it just reads as a stutter.
Dialogue. Read it aloud twice — once for each speaker.

Recall drills — 126 more questions from the B2 words
These 126 drills are generated from the Bengali B2 vocabulary list — the words of “Conditionals and wishes” through “Culture and mastery”, in both directions: recognition (word → meaning) and production (meaning → word).

Bengali B2 beyond the drills — culture, reading, listening, idioms
These sections are written for Bengali B2 specifically. The reading text is EkGuru's own; the culture note cites where its facts come from; the idioms and the mistakes list are the ones this level actually trips over.
Culture note
Durga Puja is the largest public art event in Bengal: for four days neighbourhoods build pandals, committees commission hundreds of idols, and the city walks from one to the next. The economics matter as much as the religion — thousands of small workshops work all year — and the vocabulary of the festival (প্যান্ডেল, প্রতিমা, বিসর্জন) has entered ordinary business Bengali.
Source (named, not linked): en.wikipedia.org, the article “Durga Puja”.
Reading — read this aloud, slowly
প্রতিবেদনে বলা হয়েছে যে উৎসবের সময় শহরে প্রায় দশ লক্ষ মানুষ আসেন, এবং স্থানীয় ব্যবসায়ীরা বছরের সবচেয়ে বেশি বিক্রি করেন এই সময়েই। তবে সমালোচকরা মনে করেন যে খরচের একটা অংশ কেবল প্রতিযোগিতার জন্য, সংস্কৃতির জন্য নয়। অন্যদিকে আয়োজকরা বলছেন প্রতিটি টাকা স্থানীয় কারিগরদের কাছেই যায়।
What it says: The report says that about a million people come to the city during the festival, and local traders do their highest sales of the year at this time. Critics, however, think part of the spending is only for competition, not for culture. On the other hand, organisers say every taka goes to local artisans.
Listening — one voice, one text
Use the speaker button to hear this text with a browser voice tagged bn-IN; playback starts only after a click. If no matching voice is installed, read it aloud yourself — the rhythm is the point.
মিতা: বাজেট নিয়ে আপনার মত কী?<br>রাতুল: আমি বলব খরচ কমানো উচিত, তবে মান কমানো উচিত নয়।<br>মিতা: যদি কমিটি একমত হয়, তাহলে প্রস্তাবটা পাস হবে।<br>রাতুল: ঠিক, কিন্তু লিখিত প্রস্তাব দরকার।
What it says: Mita: What is your opinion on the budget? Ratul: I would say spending should be reduced, but quality should not be. Mita: If the committee agrees, the proposal will pass. Ratul: Right — but a written proposal is needed.
10 idioms and fixed phrases
| Idiom | Word for word | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| অগ্নিপরীক্ষা | ordeal by fire | a severe test |
| আকাশকুসুম | sky-flower | a castle in the air |
| ঘোড়ার ডিম | horse's egg | something that does not exist; rubbish |
| গোবর গণেশ | dung Ganesh | a dunce, someone out of their depth |
| কপাল ফেরা | the forehead turning | fortune turns at last |
| ঠোঁটকাটা | cut-lipped | blunt, says exactly what they think |
| চোখে ধুলো দেওয়া | throwing dust in the eyes | to deceive, to pull the wool over eyes |
| মাথায় হাত | hand on the head | to be shocked; disaster struck |
| রাবণের চিতা | Ravana's pyre | an unending quarrel |
| শিরে সংক্রান্তি | a calamity on the head | a disaster hanging overhead |
The 3 mistakes this level makes
- আমি মনে করি যে খরচ কমানো দরকার নেই। → আমি মনে করি খরচ কমানো দরকার। দরকার নেই means 'not needed'; করি যে is also heavy in Bengali prose — drop যে.
- এটা করা হয়ে আছে। → এটা করা হয়েছে। The passive/perfect frame is করা হয়েছে.
- প্রতিবেদনে বলে যে…। → প্রতিবেদনে বলা হয়েছে যে… Reports do not 'say' with a bare verb; the impersonal বলা হয়েছে is the register.
Your task
Rewrite one decision in three registers Take a decision from your work or society. Write it three times in Bengali: one line as a report (বলা হয়েছে যে…), one as an argument with a concession (তবে…), and one as a proposal others must approve (প্রস্তাব)। Keep to twenty words each, and keep the facts identical.
After B2: the B2+ checkpoint
B2+ is not a certificate — it is the half-step between Bengali B2 and the next level, and it is on this site’s ladder because language schools use it. You are at B2+ when you can run a meeting, read a contract, disagree well. Get there by working the recall drills above and the review deck until nothing on this page surprises you.
