Sylheti language/Expressing Opposition
Expression of opposition for expressing simple contrast
editThis is done by using the equivalent of English "but" in Sylheti, which is "kintu"
FuaTaa gadha kintu tar bhaigu salakh.
The boy is stupid but his brother is clever.
Expression of opposition when something logically unexpected follows
editIn Bengali, this can be expressed in the following way:
Structure 1 - zudio ... ebodori ...
editzudio + setup sentence + ebodori + logically unexpected followup sentence
zudio | setup sentence | ebodori | logically unexpected followup sentence |
---|---|---|---|
zudio | he fora-shuna khorse na | ebodori | he forikkhat faash khorse |
Even though | he did not study, | despite that | he has passed the exam. |
