How do you say "God bless you" in Bangali?

Answer by  Iamstrong (659)

In Bangladash,the word for God is not precise. Both non-Muslims and Christian/Hindus attach a different meaning to the word God. Therefore, the closest saying would be As-salam Alaikum. This phrase is similiar to the Arabic form which is Salaam Alekium. Additionally, As-salam Alaikum translate to "God bless you! Peace be with you!

In the Bangledesh language of Bangali, "God Bless You" is usually translated as "khoda hafez." Bangali is a sanskrit-based language. "Khoda hafez" is not usually uttered by laity in Bangledesh, but these words are used mostly by priests.

There isn't exactly a word for either. Instead of hello you say 'kemon acho' (how are you). Hello! How are you? Hello! Aapni kamon achen? Hello! Toomi kamon acho?

God bless you in Bengali is "bhogoban tomae ashirbad koruk," but it sounds kind of funny because the only people who say that are generally older people or those with religious authority.
