How do you say no in Bengali?

There are a few ways to say no in Bengali, depending on the context and level of formality:

Formal:

* না (na): This is the most common and straightforward way to say no. It is used in formal situations and with strangers.

* হ্যাঁ, না (haan, na): This literally means "yes, no" and is used to emphasize a negative response, particularly when someone has already said "yes" to something.

Informal:

* না (na): This is also used in informal situations with friends and family.

* না করবো (na korbo): This means "I will not" and is more emphatic than simply saying "na."

* না চাই (na chai): This means "I don't want" and is used when declining something offered.

Other ways:

* আমি চাই না (ami chai na): This means "I don't want" and is a more polite way of declining something.

* এটা হবে না (eta hobe na): This means "This will not happen" and is used to express a strong negative response.

The best way to say no in Bengali depends on the specific situation and who you are talking to. It's always a good idea to consider the level of formality and choose the appropriate expression.
