Signification
Fixing a deal or situation.
Contexte culturel
In the Gujarati business community, 'setting' is often seen as a sign of being 'paka' (mature/shrewd). It's not always about money; it's about mutual favors. Among college students, 'setting' is almost exclusively used for dating. If someone says 'મારું સેટિંગ થઈ ગયું,' they mean they are no longer single. The 'Setting' culture is a response to the 'Red Tape' in India. It's a survival mechanism to navigate slow systems. Gujaratis abroad use 'setting' to describe helping relatives with visas or jobs, maintaining the community support system.
The 'Wink' Factor
When using this for favors, a slight smile or wink indicates you know it's an informal arrangement.
Legal Boundaries
Be careful; in some contexts, 'setting' can imply bribery. Use it carefully around strangers.
