Signification
Calculating something for each individual person.
Contexte culturel
In Bangladesh, 'মাথা পিছু' is frequently used in the context of 'Zakat' (charity) calculations during Ramadan to ensure every needy person gets an equal share. During the 'Durga Puja' festival, neighborhoods collect 'Chanda' (donations). The amount is often discussed as 'মাথা পিছু' or 'বাড়ি পিছু' (per house). In modern tech hubs like Dhaka or Kolkata, 'মাথা পিছু' is used in HR discussions regarding 'Per head cost' for employee benefits or outings. In village feasts (Bhoj), the server ensures 'মাথা পিছু' distribution of special items like fish heads or sweets to avoid conflict.
Use with 'Kore'
Adding 'kore' after the amount (e.g., মাথা পিছু ১০০ টাকা করে) makes it sound more natural in spoken Bengali.
People Only!
Remember, never use this for objects. Use 'proti' for things.
