Word for the Travel Wise (08/15/06)
Hmmm....With each travel wise word feature I do I try to frequent the various tourism sites out there for each country. This Discovery Bangladesh seems like a newbie to me unless I missed it somehow, but the content is spectacular for travel planning. Very clean, neat and informative site for all things in and around this lesser explored Asian gem.Today's word is a Bangla (Bengali) word used in Bangladesh:
nir dohsh - free (gratis) as found in the LP phrasebook / innocent; as noted by Gadler
Web resources for Bangla are few, but you can pick up quite a few words reading (not skimming) through the Wiki and from this Bangalinet site which has a small tutorial on how to write in the script. Beyond those two I'm sure there are others, but as I mentioned above it was like pulling teeth to get this word. With that being said class is dismissed.
Past Bangla words: bhromon, shobbho

Gadler,
No hash here and I pulled that one from a Bengali phrasebook...hmmm. I suppose you speak this language though so I'll make a notation. Thanks for looking out!
