Putting in physical or mental effort.
Contexto cultural
In Bangladesh, 'Mehonot' is often used interchangeably with 'Koshṭo' in rural settings, reflecting the agrarian roots of the society where physical labor is highly respected. In Kolkata, 'Koshṭo kora' is a staple of 'Bhadrolok' etiquette. Over-apologizing for 'giving someone trouble' (Koshṭo dewa) is a common social lubricant. First-generation immigrants often use this phrase to describe their early years of struggle in foreign lands, creating a shared narrative of resilience. There is a famous proverb 'Koshṭo korle Kesto mele', which literally means 'If you do the hardship, you will find Krishna'. It is used to motivate students.
The Politeness Hack
Always use 'Koshṭo kore' when asking a stranger for directions. It makes you sound much more fluent and respectful.
The Sadness Trap
Never say 'Ami koshṭo korchi' if you just broke up with someone. People will think you are doing chores to forget them!
