Taking time off work
خلفية ثقافية
Taking leave is often a family decision. It's common for an employer to ask 'Why?' and for the employee to give a detailed family reason. In modern Kathmandu offices, 'Sick Leave' and 'Casual Leave' are distinct. 'बिदा लिनु' covers both, but you specify the type. In farming communities, 'taking leave' isn't from an office but from communal labor (Parma). For Nepalis working abroad (Lahures), 'Bida' is the most anticipated word, meaning they are finally returning home to Nepal.
Polite Departure
When leaving a Nepali home, always say 'म बिदा लिन्छु' instead of just 'म जान्छु' to show respect to your host.
The 'Le' Particle
In the past tense (मैले बिदा लिएँ), don't forget the 'le' after 'Ma'. It's a common beginner mistake.
