What does যে mean?
যে (je) is a Bangla pronoun that means who, which, that in English.
A linking word meaning 'who', 'which' or 'that', joining a description to a noun, and also the conjunction 'that' after verbs like জানি (jani), 'I know'. Bangla usually picks the noun back up with a matching word later in the sentence: যে ছেলে ... সে (je chhele ... she), 'the boy who ... he'. Dropping that second part makes the sentence sound unfinished to a Bangla ear.
How do you say “who” in Bangla?
