5, 6 and 10 for the ask game :3
5. favourite song in your native language?
This is embarrassing to admit but I don't listen to much Bengali music. I do like "Karar oi Louho Kopat by Kazi Nazrul Islam" (Eng: Those Iron Gates of Prison) Specifically this cover.
Bonus South African song because I did that the last ask why not. "S'bonga'Abazali by Malaika" (Eng: Thank you parents)
6. most hated song in your native language?
Don't think I really have one. There's probably a couple of nursery rhymes that kinda annoy me but I feel bad for picking on songs for babies. No South African bonus either don't think I've heard a bad ZA song (maybe I forgor)
10. most enjoyable swear word in your native language?
I don't really swear in Bengali and I feel way too mean when I use any actual swears so I just go with boka (dumb). Bengali swears are more potent to me then English swears idk why. Bonus South African slang I like to use is voetsek which means go away. Not necessarily a swear but can be used as one. Like saying fuck off. and kak!! (shit) what a load of kak!!
#hope me adding the south african bonuses isnt too overwhelming#just a bit torn because the ask wants stuff from my country but bangladesh isnt my country and it is and also im south african but not coug#realise it jus asked 4 my native language but it feels weird leaving out ZA#hashtag diaspora identity crisis...yass...#Btw fun trivia on the bengali song its pretty important part of bengali history Nazrul Islam is a big figure look him up if ur interested :#fun trivia 2 I get most of my bengali music knowledge from my dad so what ive heard is pretty old. like kid who only knows ABBA#asks#music#fav music#....trivia 3 i mispelled karar... on the music thing but you didn't see that
