معنی
Disagreeing with a statement.
زمینه فرهنگی
In business, being 'khotu' (wrong/dishonest) is the ultimate insult. A person's 'Vepari Buddhi' (merchant's intellect) is judged by their ability to spot what is 'khotu' in a deal. Gujarat is the birthplace of Gandhi. The pursuit of 'Satya' (Truth) means that calling out what is 'khotu' (untruth) is often seen as a moral duty rather than just a correction. While directness is common in business, in social gatherings, 'Te khotu che' is often softened with a smile or a laugh to prevent 'Man-dukh' (hurting someone's feelings). Folk songs often use 'khotu' to describe the illusory nature of the world or the pain of a 'khoti' (false) promise from a lover.
Nasalize the end
The 'u' in 'Khotu' is nasalized (indicated by the dot in script). It sounds like you are starting to say 'n' but stop.
Watch the 'T'
The 't' in 'Khotu' is retroflex. If you use a soft 't' (like in 'thin'), it might sound like a different word.

The 'Ho' suffix
Adding 'ho' at the end ('Te khotu che ho!') makes it sound like a friendly warning or a firm reminder.
