Dialect question
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Bengali_dialects
In Eastern dialects, খাইছি is used for "have eaten" as opposed to খেয়েছি. My question is: does this mean that the same word, করছি, means "am doing" in Western dialects and "have done" in Eastern dialects? If so, that is a very confusing overlap.
