Signification
Describing a place with many people.
Contexte culturel
During Durga Puja, 'Bhishon Bhir' is expected and even celebrated. People stand in lines for hours to see the 'Pratima' (idols). The 'New Market' in Dhaka is famous for its 'Bhishon Bhir' during Eid shopping. It's a test of patience and bargaining skills. The Metro is the lifeline of Kolkata. 'Bhishon Bhir' during office hours (9 AM and 6 PM) is a daily reality for millions. A 'Bhishon Bhir' at a wedding is often seen as a sign of the family's social standing and popularity.
Use it for emphasis
Don't be afraid to use 'Bhishon' for anything extreme. It makes you sound more like a native speaker than just using 'Khub'.
Watch the 'r'
The 'r' in 'Bhir' (ড়) is different from the 'r' in 'Rasta' (র). Make sure to flap your tongue against the roof of your mouth.
