So, how well does Google Translate actually perform when translating English to Assamese? I put it to the test. For basic, declarative sentences, Google Translate is genuinely useful. If you need to translate "The sun is shining" (সূৰ্য্যজ্যোতি আছে - Suryya jyoti ase ) or "I drink tea" (মই চাহ খাওঁ - Moi sah khaou ), the tool does a decent job.

If you truly want to learn Assamese, use Google Translate as a dictionary. Pair it with human resources—YouTube channels dedicated to Axomiya culture, or the excellent work by local Assamese linguists.

I tested a proverb: "Empty vessels make much noise."
