معنی
A belief or idea that is widely held but is, in fact, incorrect.
زمینه فرهنگی
Many Indians believe in 'Taseer' (the inherent hot or cold nature of food). A doctor might use this phrase to debunk the myth that eating 'hot' foods causes immediate skin breakouts. There is a common belief that students who take 'Arts' are weak in studies. Educators often use this phrase to challenge this stereotype. India is full of urban legends (like the 'Nale Ba' witch or 'Monkey Man'). Rationalists use this phrase in media to calm public hysteria. A major point of debate in India is whether Hindi is the 'National Language' (Rashtrabhasha). Linguists often use this phrase to clarify that it is an 'Official Language' (Rajbhasha).
The 'Ki' Connection
Always follow this phrase with 'ki' (that) to sound like a native speaker. It sets up the 'myth' you are about to bust.
Not for Personal Mistakes
If you forget your keys, don't say this. It makes you sound like you're talking about a global crisis instead of a small slip-up.
