শুভ

What does শুভ mean?

শুভ (shubho) is a Bangla adjective that means auspicious, good, happy in English.

শুভ (shubho) means auspicious or favourable, and it is the fixed opener in greetings and good wishes such as শুভ সকাল (shubho shokal), 'good morning', and শুভ নববর্ষ (shubho noboborsho), 'happy new year'. It sounds a little formal and warm, at home on cards, at ceremonies and in blessings. Do not use it for 'nice' or 'tasty' in general — that is ভালো (bhalo).
