উনি

What does উনি mean?

উনি (uni) is a Bangla pronoun that means that person (polite), he (polite), she (polite) in English.

This is the polite third-person pronoun for "he" or "she", used when referring to a respected person who is not standing right beside you. It serves as the honorific counterpart to ও (o) and must always take polite verb forms ending in -েন (-en). Foreign learners frequently offend locals by using ও (o) or সে (she) for parents, teachers, or bosses instead of উনি (uni).
