The word “certain” indicates a sense of assurance or confidence in something, without any doubt. It is used to describe something that is known to be true or sure to happen. In Bengali, “certain” is translated as “নিশ্চিত (Nishchit)” which conveys the same sense of definiteness or assurance.
In English, “certain” can be used in various contexts, such as expressing confidence in the outcome of an event, the existence of a fact, or the reliability of information. It implies a strong belief in the accuracy or inevitability of something, often based on evidence or strong conviction.
In Bengali, “নিশ্চিত (Nishchit)” captures this notion of reliability and assuredness. Whether referring to the certainty of an event, the surety of an outcome, or the undeniable truth of a statement, the word embodies the absence of doubt and the presence of confidence.
Meaning in Bengali:
- English: Certain
- Bengali: নিশ্চিত (Nishchit)
