What does আগে mean?
আগে (age) is a Bangla postposition that means before, earlier, ago in English.
This postposition and adverb expresses temporal precedence, translating as 'before', 'earlier', or 'ago'. When following a noun or verb to mean 'before an event', the preceding word must take the genitive ending -র (-r) or -এর (-er), as in আসার আগে (ashar age, 'before coming'). A common learner error is omitting this genitive marker and placing the bare noun directly before আগে (age).
How do you say “before” in Bangla?
Say আগে, pronounced age. Press play to hear a native Bangladeshi voice say it.
