What does যদি mean?
যদি (jodi) is a Bangla conjunction that means if in English.
যদি (jodi) means 'if' and opens a conditional clause, which in careful speech is answered later by তাহলে (tahole). In real conversation people often drop tahole and just say the second half, so jodi can feel unfinished to a learner. A common slip is using it for 'whether' in indirect questions — Bangla uses কি (ki) there instead.
