#বাংলা

In Sylheti Bengali, there’s a sweet dish called “ফিদা (phida)” and it sounds like the word for “punch/hit” which is also “ফিদা (fida)”. So as a joke, cousins and siblings would ask “ফিদা খাইটা নি ? (Fidā khā'iṭā ni ?)” which means “Do you want ‘fida’ ?” and if you say yes they might punch you playfully because after all you agreed to a punch (fida), not a sweet dish (phida).

In Bengali we don’t say “squirrel” we say “কাঠবিড়াল (kāṭhabiṛāla)” which translates to “wood cat” and I think that’s just damn cute.
