معنی
Leaving the choice to others.
زمینه فرهنگی
The phrase is a hallmark of 'Lihaz' (social etiquette). It's often used even when the speaker has a preference, just to be polite. In Punjabi business dealings, 'Tuhadi Marzi' can be a negotiation tactic to show that you are flexible and value the relationship over the price. Children are expected to say 'Tuhadi Marzi' to parents as a sign of obedience, though this is changing in modern urban settings. The concept of 'Raza' (submission to the will of the Beloved/God) is a spiritual extension of 'Marzi'.
The 'I' Ending
Remember that both words end in the 'ee' sound because 'Marzi' is feminine. This makes it a very rhyming and easy-to-remember phrase.
Tone Matters
If you say it too quickly or without a smile, it can sound like 'I don't care, do what you want.' Keep your tone soft for politeness.
