Watch the following explainer video to learn how the [tt] sound functions as a geminate in Bangla. The video presents waveforms—visual representations of sound—for two Bangla words: “Pata” (পাতা), meaning ‘leaf,’ and “Patta” (পাত্তা), meaning ‘whereabout.’ This comparison helps illustrate how their pronunciation differs due to the presence of a geminate [tt]. You will also see how geminate sounds have a longer duration in speech compared to non-geminate sounds.
