What does ওই mean?
ওই (oi) is a Bangla pronoun that means that, those in English.
This demonstrative pronoun and determiner means 'that' or 'those', pointing toward entities situated at a distance from both the speaker and listener. Like its counterpart এই (ei), it stays invariant regardless of number, relying on context or suffixed classifiers to show plurality. Learners should note that modern Bangladeshi print and colloquial writing prefer ওই (oi) over the classical spelling ঐ (oi).
