Translation: Persian-to-Bengali/English and Bengali/English-to-Persian

Translation: Persian to Bengali/English and back

The translation question rewards clause-level accuracy and natural target language, not word-for-word substitution. First bracket the Persian sentence: subject, object, verb, particles. Persian is SOV; English is SVO, while Bengali is also SOV, so Persian-to-Bengali often keeps order but not idiom. Mark tense: می for habitual/progressive present, past progressive with می + past, and perfect with کرده است.

Worked example

Persian: او هر روز به مکتب میرود. Parse: او = he/she; هر روز = every day; به مکتب = to school; میرود = goes. English: 'He goes to school every day.' Bengali: 'সে প্রতিদিন মক্তবে যায়।' Reasoning: میرود is habitual present, so simple present in English; مکتب is rendered as school/maktab according to context. If the source were من هر روز کتاب میخوانم, English is 'I read a book every day'; Bengali 'আমি প্রতিদিন বই পড়ি।' The generic object کتاب takes no را.

Traps

The biggest losses come from literal compound verbs (تصمیم گرفتن = decide, not 'take a decision'), omitted subjects, را mistaken for 'to', and register mismatch. Do not translate names; transliterate consistently. In Bengali/English-to-Persian, place the verb last and choose the correct person ending.
