معنی
Commenting on hot weather.
زمینه فرهنگی
The 'Bapore ungh' (afternoon nap) is a common practice in cities like Rajkot to avoid the peak heat of the day. During high heat, 'Chass' (buttermilk) is served with every meal to cool the body. Commenting on the heat is the most common way to start a conversation with a stranger in Gujarat. People wear light cotton clothes and often cover their heads with a 'rumal' (handkerchief) to protect against the 'Loo' (hot wind).
The 'Ne' Tag
Add 'ne?' at the end to sound like a local. 'Bahu garmi che, ne?' (It's hot, isn't it?)
Avoid 'Hu garam chu'
Never say this to mean you feel hot; it has unintended sexual or personality-based connotations.
