Significado
To express the sensation of being cold.
Contexto cultural
During winter, it's common for elders to warn 'Sardi lag jayegi' if you don't cover your ears. The muffler is a cultural icon of the common man (Aam Aadmi) in winter. Air conditioning is often a status symbol; offices are kept very cold. Complaining about 'Sardi' in the office is a standard way to start a conversation with a colleague. The concept of 'Sardi' is linked to 'Kapha' dosha. People often avoid 'cold' foods (curd, rice at night) when they say 'Mujhe sardi lag रही है'. The 'Sardi' setting is a trope for romance. A hero offering his jacket to a heroine who says 'Mujhe sardi lag rahi hai' is a classic scene.
