What does বুক mean?
বুক (buk) is a Bangla noun that means chest, heart in English.
বুক (buk) is the chest, the front of the body from the neck down to the stomach, and by extension the heart as the place of feelings — courage, love, fear. It appears in many everyday expressions, such as বুকে ব্যথা (buke betha, chest pain) and বুক ধড়ফড় করা (buk dhorfora kora, heart pounding with fear). For the heart as a medical organ, Bangla uses হার্ট (hart) or হৃদয় (hridoy), not বুক.
