معنی
A standard greeting used to ask about someone's well-being.
زمینه فرهنگی
Asking 'Kem cho' is often followed by an invitation for tea (Chai). It's rude to just say 'Kem cho' and walk away if you have time. 'Kem cho' has become a global password for the community. It's used to identify fellow Gujaratis in foreign lands. In the diamond or textile markets, 'Kem cho' is the start of every negotiation. It establishes trust. The greeting is often more robust, with a loud 'Ram Ram' followed by 'Kem cho bapa?'.
The 'Maja ma' Rule
Always answer 'Maja ma' first, even if you want to complain later. It's the cultural norm.
Body Language
A slight nod of the head while saying 'Kem cho' adds a layer of respect.
