معنی
A person with much wealth.
زمینه فرهنگی
Wealth is often seen as a result of 'Kismat' (fate) and 'Mahenat' (hard work). Being an 'Amir Manas' brings a social obligation to contribute to the community. Many wealthy Gujaratis follow Jainism or Vaishnavism, which emphasize 'Aparigraha' (non-attachment) or 'Seva' (service). An 'Amir Manas' is often judged by his donations to temples. In Gujarati stories, the 'Amir Manas' is often a 'Sheth' (merchant) who is either very greedy or incredibly wise and generous. In cities like Ahmedabad and Surat, wealth is displayed through 'Bungalows' and luxury cars, but the 'Amir Manas' still prefers traditional Gujarati food like 'Dhokla' and 'Thepla'.
Use 'Amir' for general wealth
It's the most versatile word and works in 90% of situations.
Don't say 'Amir Manas' to a woman
Use 'Amir Stri' or 'Amir Mahila' instead to be grammatically correct.
