So, Such, Too and Enough
So, Such, Too and Enough (এতটা / এত / খুব বেশি / যথেষ্ট)
Introductionভূমিকা
So, such, too and enough all add degree — how much or how little — but each works differently. Mixing them up is one of the most common learner errors, so this guide shows the exact word order for each with clear Bangla meanings.
So, such, too এবং enough — সবগুলোই মাত্রা (কতটা বেশি বা কম) বোঝায়, কিন্তু প্রতিটির নিয়ম আলাদা। এদের গুলিয়ে ফেলা শিক্ষার্থীদের খুব সাধারণ ভুল, তাই এখানে প্রতিটির সঠিক গঠন বাংলা অর্থসহ দেখানো হলো।
Definitionসংজ্ঞা
'So' and 'too' come before an adjective/adverb; 'such' comes before a noun phrase; 'enough' comes after an adjective/adverb but before a noun. 'Too' means more than needed, 'enough' means the right amount.
'So' ও 'too' বসে adjective/adverb-এর আগে; 'such' বসে noun phrase-এর আগে; 'enough' বসে adjective/adverb-এর পরে কিন্তু noun-এর আগে। 'Too' মানে প্রয়োজনের বেশি, 'enough' মানে যথেষ্ট পরিমাণ।
Bangla Explanationবাংলা ব্যাখ্যা
নিয়ম: so + adjective/adverb (so hot, so quickly), কিন্তু such + (a/an) + adjective + noun (such a hot day)। অর্থাৎ noun থাকলে such, না থাকলে so। too বসে adjective-এর আগে এবং এর অর্থ নেতিবাচক — 'প্রয়োজনের চেয়ে বেশি': “too hot to drink” (এত গরম যে খাওয়া যায় না)। enough বসে adjective/adverb-এর পরে (old enough) কিন্তু noun-এর আগে (enough money)। মনে রাখুন — “too + adjective + to + verb” এবং “adjective + enough + to + verb” গঠন দুটি খুব কাজে লাগে: “strong enough to lift it,” “too weak to lift it.” so...that এবং such...that দিয়ে ফলাফল বোঝানো যায়: “It was so cold that we stayed home.”

Common Mistakesসাধারণ ভুল
It was so a nice day.
It was such a nice day.
Before 'a/an + adjective + noun' use 'such', not 'so'.
This coffee is enough hot.
This coffee is hot enough.
'Enough' comes after an adjective (hot enough), not before it.
The box is too much heavy.
The box is too heavy.
'Too' already means 'more than enough' before an adjective; don't add 'much'.
She is such intelligent.
She is so intelligent.
With an adjective and no noun, use 'so' (so intelligent), not 'such'.
Tipsটিপস
- If a noun follows, use 'such'; if only an adjective follows, use 'so'. — পরে noun থাকলে 'such'; শুধু adjective থাকলে 'so'।
- 'Too' is negative (a problem); 'enough' is neutral (the right amount). — 'Too' নেতিবাচক (সমস্যা বোঝায়); 'enough' নিরপেক্ষ (যথেষ্ট বোঝায়)।
- Remember the order: too + adjective, but adjective + enough. — গঠন মনে রাখুন: too + adjective, কিন্তু adjective + enough।
