Bedeutung
Making space in a crowd.
Kultureller Hintergrund
During Durga Puja, 'ভিড় কমানো' is a constant struggle. The Kolkata Police use elaborate barricades and 'one-way' pedestrian traffic to manage millions of people. In Dhaka, the 'ভিড়' on public buses is legendary. The phrase is used daily by commuters to navigate the 'muri-tin' (tin of puffed rice) buses. A 'crowded' wedding is a sign of prestige, but 'ভিড় কমানো' is necessary at the food stalls to avoid chaos. In village 'haats', reducing the crowd often involves moving cattle or large sacks of grain to clear the path.
Use with 'দরকার'
A very common way to use this is 'ভিড় কমানো দরকার' (Need to reduce the crowd). It's a polite way to tell people to move.
Don't use for weight
If you want to say 'reduce weight', use 'ওজন কমানো' (ojon kamano), never 'ভিড় কমানো'.
