What does অর্ধেক mean?
অর্ধেক (ordhek) is a Bangla number that means half in English.
Exactly half of something, countable or not. It works as an adjective or a standalone noun: অর্ধেক পথ (ordhek poth) 'half the way', or just অর্ধেক (ordhek) 'half' when the thing is obvious. Learners sometimes add a needless measure word — the natural pattern puts it straight before the noun, as in অর্ধেক গ্লাস পানি (ordhek glash pani) 'half a glass of water'.
