What does জ্ঞান mean?
জ্ঞান (gæn) is a Bangla noun that means knowledge, wisdom in English.
Knowledge or understanding a person has built up, and also the good sense to act wisely. It covers book learning and practical judgement alike, so জ্ঞান নেই (gæn nei) can mean either 'I don't know about that' or 'he has no sense'. The জ here sounds like the g in 'go', not like the j in 'jam'.
How do you say “knowledge” in Bangla?
Say জ্ঞান, pronounced gæn. Press play to hear a native Bangladeshi voice say it.
