What does খালি mean?
খালি (khali) is a Bangla adjective that means empty, vacant, only in English.
খালি (khali) describes a container, seat or space with nothing in it, and in casual speech it also means 'only' or 'just', as in খালি একটা (khali ekta, just one). It is very common in shops, buses and house-hunting talk. In the 'only' sense it is informal — শুধু (shudhu) is the safer choice in polite or written Bangla.
