English Phrases for Travel and the Airport (ভ্রমণ ও বিমানবন্দরে ইংরেজি)
Introductionভূমিকা
Airports run in English almost everywhere — checking in, passing security, boarding and clearing immigration. A short set of clear phrases keeps your journey smooth from the counter to the exit.
প্রায় সব জায়গায় বিমানবন্দর চলে ইংরেজিতে — চেক-ইন, সিকিউরিটি, বোর্ডিং ও ইমিগ্রেশন। কয়েকটা স্পষ্ট বাক্য জানলে কাউন্টার থেকে বের হওয়া পর্যন্ত পুরো যাত্রা মসৃণ থাকে।
Definitionসংজ্ঞা
Travel phrases are mostly questions and short requests: 'Where is the check-in counter?', 'I'd like a window seat', and clear immigration answers like 'I'm here on holiday.'
Travel phrases বেশিরভাগই প্রশ্ন ও ছোট অনুরোধ: 'Where is the check-in counter?', 'I'd like a window seat', আর ইমিগ্রেশনে স্পষ্ট উত্তর যেমন 'I'm here on holiday.'
Bangla Explanationবাংলা ব্যাখ্যা
কিছু খুঁজতে বলুন 'Where is the check-in counter?' — 'Where check-in?' নয়, 'is' লাগবে। আসন চাইতে 'Could I have a window seat, please?' গেট ঠিক আছে কিনা জানতে 'Is this the gate for flight BG-201?' ইমিগ্রেশনে সংক্ষেপে ও সত্যভাবে বলুন উদ্দেশ্য ও কতদিন থাকবেন: 'I'm here on holiday for two weeks.' ব্যাগ নিতে 'Where can I collect my baggage?' শহরে যেতে 'How do I get to the city centre?' কোনো ঝামেলায় পড়লে শান্তভাবে বলুন 'I think I've missed my flight.'

Common Mistakesসাধারণ ভুল
Where check-in counter?
Where is the check-in counter?
English 'where' questions need 'is': 'Where is the…?'
I want window side.
Could I have a window seat, please?
The natural phrase is 'window seat', asked with 'Could I have… please?'
I come for holiday.
I'm here on holiday.
At immigration use 'I'm here on holiday/business' — clearer and natural.

Keep English word order: question word first, then 'can I…'.
Tipsটিপস
- At immigration, answer briefly and honestly: your purpose and length of stay. — ইমিগ্রেশনে সংক্ষেপে ও সত্যভাবে উত্তর দিন: উদ্দেশ্য ও কতদিন থাকবেন।
- 'Where is…?' and 'How do I get to…?' cover most airport directions. — 'Where is…?' আর 'How do I get to…?' — বিমানবন্দরের বেশিরভাগ দিকনির্দেশ এতেই হয়।
- Be polite but quick at counters — a simple 'please' and 'thank you' is enough. — কাউন্টারে ভদ্র কিন্তু দ্রুত থাকুন — একটা 'please' আর 'thank you'-ই যথেষ্ট।
