Bedeutung
Referring to all times.
Kultureller Hintergrund
The concept of 'Sadhain' is linked to the reliability of the mountains. Just as the Himalayas are always there, one's word should be 'Sadhain' (constant). 'Sadhain' is used to describe the eternal nature of the soul (Atman) and the constant presence of the divine. In Nepali hospitality, it is expected that you 'always' offer tea to a guest, no matter the time of day. In Kathmandu, 'Sadhain' is often used ironically to talk about traffic or power cuts (though power cuts are rare now).
Placement is Key
Always put 'Sadhain' before the verb to sound like a native.
Not for 'Still'
Don't use 'Sadhain' when you mean 'still'. Use 'Ajhai' instead.
