Something that is very good
خلفية ثقافية
In Gujarat, food is a love language. Saying 'Mast che' to a cook is the highest form of appreciation and will likely get you a second helping. Youth in cities like Ahmedabad and Surat use 'Mast' as a filler word, similar to how English speakers use 'like' or 'cool'. It marks you as part of the modern urban crowd. Many Gujarati slang words are reinforced by Bollywood films. The song 'Mast Magan' or the phrase 'Sab Mast Hai' from Hindi cinema are understood and used by Gujarati speakers too. While now a slang term, 'Mast' still appears in Gujarati devotional and folk songs (Bhajans) to describe a saint's state of divine bliss.
The 'Che' Rule
Always pair 'Mast' with 'che' (is) or 'hatu' (was) to make a complete sentence: 'Mast che!'
Formal Settings
Don't use 'Mast' when talking to a boss or in a formal speech; it might seem like you're not being serious enough.
