Bedeutung
Stating a preference for a beverage.
Kultureller Hintergrund
The Indian Coffee House on College Street is a legendary spot where 'Ami coffee pochondo kori' has been said by Nobel laureates and revolutionaries for decades. In Dhaka, coffee culture is booming among the youth. 'Pochondo kori' is often used when discussing different bean origins like Brazil or Ethiopia in high-end cafes. In villages, tea is king. Saying you like coffee might mark you as a 'shohure' (city person). It's a sign of urbanity. Modern weddings now have 'Coffee Stalls'. Guests will often use this phrase to choose the coffee line over the traditional tea line.
