What does দেখা mean?

দেখা (dekha) is a Bangla verb that means to see, see, look in English.

This common verb means to see, look at, or watch something. When combined with verbs like করা (kora) or হওয়া (howa), it refers to meeting or visiting friends, doctors, or relatives. A frequent mistake for beginners is using it for 'look for', which requires খোঁজা (khoja) instead.
