خلفية ثقافية
Gujaratis are known for their business acumen. Saying 'Aa agharu che' in a business deal is often a tactic to negotiate a better price or more time. In Gujarat, the 10th and 12th-grade board exams are seen as the ultimate 'agharu' challenge. The phrase is a constant refrain in households during March. In farming communities, 'agharu' is used to describe the weather or soil conditions, reflecting a deep connection to the land's challenges. Young people in cities like Surat or Vadodara use 'agharu' sarcastically to describe someone who is being 'extra' or dramatic.

Yes, if it's modifying a specific noun. If used alone, it stays neuter.
