Common Bangla Typing Mistakes and How to Avoid Them
❌Mistake #1: Confusing র and ড়, য and য়
Problem:
Many beginners mix up র (ro) with ড় (ro modified) and য (J/y) with য় (য়ো/antostho J).
Solution:
Learn the visual differences and practice each separately. In Avro: র=r, ড়=rr, য=j/y, য়=Y (Shift+y)
Example: করা (kora) vs কড়া (korra)
❌Mistake #2: Incorrect Kar Placement in Bijoy
Problem:
In Bijoy, typing kar (vowel signs) in wrong order. Remember: most kar come BEFORE the consonant in Bijoy.
Solution:
Practice kar order: া ি ী come before consonant, but ু ূ come after. Create muscle memory through repeated practice.
Example: কি = type 'd' then 'k' (NOT 'k' then 'd')
❌Mistake #3: Missing Hasant (্) in Juktoborno
Problem:
Forgetting to use hasant when typing conjunct characters in Bijoy, resulting in separated letters.
Solution:
Always use 'g' key (hasant ্) to join consonants in Bijoy. In Avro, type consonants directly together.
Example: ক্ক = k+g+k (Bijoy) or kk (Avro)
❌Mistake #4: Wrong Juktoborno Selection in Avro
Problem:
Avro sometimes suggests multiple juktoborno options, and beginners pick the wrong one.
Solution:
Learn to recognize correct conjunct forms. Pay attention to the suggestion dropdown and choose carefully.
Example: For ক্ষ, type 'kkh' or 'kSh', don't just type 'ksh'
❌Mistake #5: Inconsistent Spacing
Problem:
Adding extra spaces or missing spaces between words, especially with punctuation.
Solution:
Follow Bengali typing convention: single space after words, no space before punctuation (।, ,)
Example: Correct: 'আমি ভালো আছি।' NOT 'আমি ভালো আছি ।'
❌Mistake #6: Using English Punctuation Instead of Bangla
Problem:
Using period (.) instead of দাঁড়ি (।), English comma instead of Bangla comma.
Solution:
Learn Bangla punctuation marks. In Avro, type '.' for দাঁড়ি (।). In Bijoy, use appropriate keys.
Example: Use: আমি যাচ্ছি। (with দাঁড়ি ।)
❌Mistake #7: Not Proofreading
Problem:
Rushing through typing without checking for errors, especially in professional documents.
Solution:
Always proofread. Read aloud to catch errors. Use spell checkers when available.
Example: даблCheck especially juktoborno and kar placement
