Signification
Doing something despite possible danger
Contexte culturel
In Bangladesh, 'ঝুঁকি নেওয়া' is often discussed in the context of 'Probashi' (expatriates) who take huge risks to move abroad for a better life. It is seen as a sacrifice for the family. In Kolkata, the phrase is frequently used in the context of the 'Adda' (intellectual conversation) where people debate political or social risks. Traditional Bengali business families (like the Sahas or Boniks) have specific proverbs about risk, but 'ঝুঁকি নেওয়া' is the modern standard for entrepreneurship. In the works of Rabindranath Tagore, the idea of 'taking a risk' is often portrayed as 'Abhisar'—a journey toward the beloved or the truth, regardless of the danger.
Use with 'Boro'
To say 'take a big risk,' always use 'Boro' (বড়). Example: 'বড় ঝুঁকি নেওয়া' (Boro jhuki neoa).
Don't say 'Risk kora'
Even though 'Risk' is an English word, saying 'Risk kora' sounds like 'doing a risk' and is grammatically awkward. Stick to 'Risk neoa' or 'Jhuki neoa'.
