المعنى
Reassuring someone to be calm.
خلفية ثقافية
In Maharashtra, offering reassurance is often tied to the concept of 'Aatithya' (hospitality). If a guest is worried about being a burden, the host will insistently say 'Chinta karu naka'. In big cities, 'Tension gheu nakos' is often preferred over 'Chinta karu nakos' among the youth, reflecting the influence of English on Marathi. In villages, people might use 'काळजी नसावी' (Kalji nasavi), which is a more poetic and traditional way of saying 'There should be no worry'. The phrase appears in various forms in 'Nataks' (Marathi plays) to show the bond between a hero and his sidekick or family.
