Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): Saleh Chowdhury, Ph.D.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Come on! I told you seriously that I no longer do modeling these days.

Let's examine the sentence:
ami to seriously bollam ami ekhon r modeling kori na
to (pronounced 'toe') is an emphatic particle, used to try to persuade the listeners to believe what the speaker wants to tell them. This particle must be taken into consideration, and the best way to express this in the given case should be: Come on (=try to understand, believe me etc.)
ekhon (=now) here means 'these days', 'nowadays' etc.
seriously =I'm not kidding
modeling kora = do modeling
Example sentence:

2 hrs

I've told you seriously that I'm no more involved with modeling.

Another alternative: I've stated it seriously that I'm not involved with modeling anymore.

However, it's better to use the verb "tell" instead of "say" and as a result the object "you" should be used.

In this sentence "no longer" maintains the expression "nowadays"/"these days".
