Contexte culturel
In Bangladesh, 'আদালতে যাওয়া' is often a multi-generational affair. Land records are sometimes unclear, leading to cases that last 20-30 years. The Calcutta High Court is the oldest in India. People take great pride and fear in its majestic architecture and strict procedures. In villages, going to court is often seen as a sign of a broken relationship. People prefer 'Salish' (local mediation) first. Lawyers are often called 'Ukil-Babu' in a respectful yet familiar way when people discuss going to court.
Use 'Korte' for daily life

Don't forget the '-e'
Saying 'Adalot jawa' sounds like 'Go court' in English. Always add the '-e' suffix.
