Bengali word for "or"
I have heard three different words that mean "or" in Bengali. অথবা, বা, and না
Is there a difference? Could you give me some examples of how to use them? What is more common?
Thanks!
না is used for questions. Do you like this or that? = তুমি এটা পছন্দ করো না/নাকি ওটা?

অথবা and বা are used interchangeably. না is used only in a question. All three mean the same.

the বা and না is rather used in speaking bengali....but in written we always use অথবা।
না is always used in interrogative sentence..
না- তুমি যাবে না আমি যাব?
বা - লাইব্রেরীতে যান বা বাড়িতে যান(colloquial)
অথবা- লাইব্রেরীতে যান অথবা বাড়িতে যান(written)
