“Where is the nearest train station?” — The sentence in English

In “Where is the nearest train station?” ‘nearest’ is ‘near’ + ‘-est’, and a superlative always takes ‘the’. ‘train’ is a noun used before ‘station’ to say what kind.

“সবচেয়ে কাছের রেলস্টেশন কোথায়?” — The sentence in Bangla

In “সবচেয়ে কাছের রেলস্টেশন কোথায়?” the superlative uses the separate word ‘সবচেয়ে’ (most) before ‘কাছের’ (near, literally ‘of nearness’). Once again Bengali drops the verb ‘to be’ and ends with ‘কোথায়’.

English × Bangla: What changes from one language to the other

English changes the adjective, Bengali adds ‘সবচেয়ে’. English needs ‘is’, Bengali drops it, and Bengali speakers say ‘রেলস্টেশন’, a word taken from English.
