Paying money for goods or services
Contexto cultural
In Bangladesh, it is common for the eldest person or the person with the highest income in a group to 'khoroch kora' for everyone else during a meal. Splitting the bill (Dutch treat) is becoming common among students but is still rare in family settings. The term 'Khoroch' is often used in the context of 'Bajar kora' (doing the market). The daily trip to the fresh market is a cultural ritual where 'hisheb-kore khoroch' (calculated spending) is a point of pride for many households. Weddings are the primary event where 'khoroch kora' is seen as a necessity for social prestige. Families often save for decades just to 'khoroch' on a single week of festivities. There is a strong cultural stigma against 'baje khoroch' (useless spending). Being 'mita-byayi' (frugal) is traditionally praised in Bengali literature and upbringing.
The 'Kora' Family
Remember that 'kora' is the most common verb in Bengali. If you learn how to conjugate 'kora', you can use hundreds of other phrases like 'kaj kora' (to work) and 'phone kora' (to call).
Avoid 'Spend Time'
Never use 'khoroch kora' for spending time with friends unless you want to sound like you are complaining about a waste of your life!
