معنی
To make a lot of effort.
زمینه فرهنگی
The phrase is deeply tied to the agrarian lifestyle where physical labor is the norm. Farmers 'strike hands and feet' in the fields from dawn to dusk. Immigrants use this phrase to describe the 'survival jobs' they take when they first arrive. It's a term of resilience. Reflects the concept of 'Udyam' (effort). Sikh scriptures encourage active effort in life rather than passive renunciation. Young entrepreneurs in Chandigarh or Ludhiana use this to describe the 'hustle' for funding and users.
Use it for 'Hustle'
If you want to sound like a native speaker talking about your career or side projects, use this instead of the boring 'koshish karna'.
Plural Agreement
Always remember that 'hath' and 'pair' are two things, so use plural verb forms like 'maare' or 'maar rahe'.
