that is

phrase/ðæt ɪz/CEFR B2

অর্থাৎ, মানে

Meaning

Used to explain more exactly what you have just said.

Example sentences

  • Come on Friday, that is, the day after tomorrow.শুক্রবার এসো, অর্থাৎ পরশু।
  • Only members, that is, people who have paid, may enter.শুধু সদস্য, অর্থাৎ যারা টাকা দিয়েছেন, তাঁরাই ঢুকতে পারবেন।

A common mistake

Come on Friday that is the day after tomorrow.→Come on Friday, that is, the day after tomorrow.

The phrase takes a comma on both sides. Without them the sentence reads as though Friday is being defined, not the date.
