What does শোয়া mean?
শোয়া (shoa) is a Bangla verb that means to lie down, to sleep in English.
To lie down, and by extension to be lying in bed or resting. It describes the position rather than falling asleep, so শুয়ে আছি (shuye achhi) means "I'm lying down" and often hints at resting or feeling unwell. For actually going to sleep, ঘুমানো (ghumano) is the precise verb.
