معنی
Commenting on the high price of something.
زمینه فرهنگی
In Bangladesh, saying 'Ota onek dami' is often the start of a long bargaining process. It's not necessarily a refusal to buy, but a signal to the seller to lower the price. In Kolkata, people might use 'Boddo dami' (very expensive) with a specific intonation to express a mix of admiration and hesitation. Discussing the 'dami' (expensive) gifts or sarees at a wedding is a common social pastime. It's a way of acknowledging the status and wealth of the families. There is a strong cultural value placed on 'shashroy' (frugality). Calling something 'onek dami' is often a way to reinforce one's identity as a sensible, non-wasteful person.
