otherwise, or else
What does নাহলে mean?
নাহলে (nahole) is a Bangla conjunction that means otherwise, or else in English.
A linking word meaning otherwise or if not, used to warn about the result of not doing something. It joins two clauses, with the second one giving the bad consequence, as in তাড়াতাড়ি চলো, নাহলে দেরি হবে (taratari cholo, nahole deri hobe). It is different from নয়তো (noyto), which offers an alternative rather than a warning. It usually starts the second clause and has no ending of its own.
