Answer: Yes

Yes, "han" means yes and "na" means no. These are the most basic ones.

3. "Kamon acho?" is mostly used in greetings. Can you tell me what it means in Bengali?

Answer: How are you?

If you're meeting someone whom you've met before, you should say "kamon acho". If someone asks you the same question, you can reply by saying "ami bhalo achi", which means "I am fine".

4. Please give me the English translation of "Amay ekta bazaare niye jao".

If you're offered a cake or any other edible thing by a host and you don't want it, you can say "ami eta chai na". Normally, we don't want to offend the person so we don't say it too often!
