What does চেনা mean?
চেনা (chena) is a Bangla verb that means to recognize, to know a person in English.
চেনা (chena) means to know or recognise a person, place or thing from before, not to know facts. It is used for faces, streets, voices and handwriting, and its attributive form works like an adjective meaning 'familiar', as in চেনা রাস্তা (chena rasta). For knowing information or a language Bangla uses জানা (jana), so আমি তাকে জানি (ami take jani) sounds wrong when you mean 'I know him'.
