Three oddities: ৎ (khondo-to) closes a syllable dead, ঃ (bisorgo) doubles the sound after it, and the look-alike letters ণ ষ ঙ ঞ — which sound exactly like ন and শ and exist only for spelling.

- ঃ
- ণ ষ ঙ ঞ standing alone

Written and announcement register. The ঃ doubles the খ — 'duk-khito'.
Statistically the sentence you're most likely to need.
Literally 'my body is bad' — this is the normal phrasing.

The shopfront usually says ফার্মেসি. Pharmacies are everywhere and dispense freely.
লাগবে takes the person in the genitive: আমার.
Universally said. Also কারেন্ট চলে গেছে.
The word on bills and signs (বিদ্যুৎ বিল, বিদ্যুৎ অফিস), not in speech. Ends in the khondo-to.
Say it once and watch the room change.
