Signification
Trying not to do what one is supposed to.
Contexte culturel
In Bengali society, 'Daitto' is often seen as a collective burden. If one person avoids it, it is seen as an act of selfishness that hurts the 'Somaj' (society). In the fast-growing corporate sector of Dhaka, 'Daitto Erano' is a common complaint against bureaucratic delays. Political slogans often use this phrase to highlight the failure of public services. Many of Rabindranath Tagore's characters struggle with the conflict between personal freedom and 'Daitto'.
Use with 'Cheshta'
Pairing it with 'cheshta kora' (trying to) makes your Bengali sound much more natural and less like a textbook.
Don't over-formalize
In a very casual setting with friends, use 'phaki dewa' instead of 'daitto erano' to avoid sounding like a boss.
