in front, ahead
What does সামনে mean?
সামনে (shamne) is a Bangla postposition that means in front, ahead in English.
This postposition means 'in front of', 'ahead', or 'facing' in spatial relationships. It requires the preceding noun to carry the genitive marker -র (-r) or -এর (-er), as in গেটের সামনে (geter shamne). A frequent beginner error is confusing it with আগে (age), which generally indicates precedence in time rather than physical positioning in front.
How do you say “in front” in Bangla?
Say সামনে, pronounced shamne. Press play to hear a native Bangladeshi voice say it.
