Jinish is most colloquial.
"podartho" is not 'thing'. It is 'material'.

jinishta ki podarthe toiri? = of which material the thing is made?
jinishta khete mishti = the thing tastes sweet
ete podartho khub olpo achhe= there is very little material in it.
Hope this helps. |

Explanation:
Thing is a very common word. It could be translated into Bengali in many different ways, such as: jinish, podartho, bostu, drobbo, shamogri, mal, malamal, bishoy, ghotona etc etc...
As the answer of your question, jinish is most frequently and colloquially used.
Podartho is mainly used in scientific context. Such as "moulik podartho" , "Jougik pothrtho" etc. An example of it would be, "police 20 KG bishphorok podartho udhdhar koreche."
