শহর

What does শহর mean?

শহর (shohor) is a Bangla noun that means city, town in English.

This noun denotes a city or town, used across all registers of conversation and writing. It often contrasts with গ্রাম (gram), which refers to the village or rural countryside where many urban Bangladeshis maintain family roots. Learners sometimes forget that unlike English, it does not distinguish strictly between a larger city and a smaller town.
