যখন (jokhon) is a Bangla conjunction that means when, while in English.
A conjunction meaning when or whenever, used to open a clause about time. It almost always pairs with a matching clause later in the sentence, often with তখন (tokhon, then), and the verb before it is in the plain or present form. Learners often try to use it as a question word, but "when?" as a direct question is কখন (kokhon).
