Silly Talk

by | 10 Feb 2017

When he was learning to speak instead of saying I went there my eldest son, Mahir, used to say I goed there. Inspired by his innocent mistake I created two more words tolded and sawed. For example, I tolded you to go to bed but I sawed you playing instead later. Then I saw a t-shirt that said “world’s bestest dad” and I came up with

good, gooder, goodest,
better, betterer, betterest,
best, bester, bestest,
worse, worser, worsest

Till this day, to respond to many of my questions Mahir says, “I don’t know” but he is the only one who should know about it, for example, question: why didn’t you write your journal today. Anyway, my usual response, “You know nothing about nothing, do you?”. As you can see we are enriching the English language as much as we can!

ইংরেজিতে না প্লিজ

সাধারণত বাংলাদেশের পাবলিক বিশ্ববিদ্যালয়গুলোতে বাংলায় পড়ানো হয়। সেখানে ইংলিশের চর্চা নেই বললেই চলে। কিন্তু এসব প্রতিষ্ঠান থেকে ব্যাচেলর বা মাস্টার্স ডিগ্রি নিয়েই অনেক বাংলাদেশী মনে করে তারা যেহেতু সর্বোচ্চ ডিগ্রি নিয়ে ফেলেছে এখন অবশ্যই ইংরেজিতে লেখার যোগ্যতা অর্জন করে...

Family Vacation 2022

We (my parents, two brothers with their families and I with my family) went on a family vacation in upstate (Peck’s Lake) NY this year. My only sister and her family live a few thousand miles away from us, so she couldn’t join us this year. The vacation house was...

I bought two dahlia plants with 2/3 small flowers last summer from Walmart. After planting them in my front yard I was pleasantly surprised to see so many beautiful flowers during summer and fall. However, I didn’t know that they had bulbs underneath the plants, so...

Voted

Last Tuesday was Election Day. There was not enough publicity about the candidates, so I didn't know anyone or their agenda. You wouldn't believe; I voted for the names that sounded better. The vote started at 7:00AM and I voted at 5:00PM. Yet, I was the 25th voter....
