কঠিন (kothin) is a Bangla adjective that means hard, difficult, tough in English.
Hard, difficult or tough, used for exams, tasks, times and even harsh words. It is the everyday opposite of সহজ (shohoj) and appears in exam talk, complaints and encouragement alike. Unlike English "hard", it never means physically solid; for that Bangla uses শক্ত (shokto).
