Contexte culturel
The 'Varpet' (Master) is a revered figure. Being told something 'comes from your hand' is a way of acknowledging you as a master of your craft. In the Diaspora, this phrase is often used to maintain a connection to traditional skills like carpet weaving or traditional cooking. Younger generations use it for digital skills, like coding or graphic design, showing the idiom's adaptability. In villages, it's often used to describe someone's ability to work the land or handle livestock.
