Signification
Word of praise for achievement.
Contexte culturel
The 'Pathivar thap' (pat on the back) is the physical manifestation of 'Shabbas'. It is considered a blessing from elders. Teachers often write 'Shabbas!' in red ink on a student's notebook if they do exceptionally well. This is a prized possession for students. In traditional sports, 'Shabbas' is the rhythmic chant of the crowd to encourage players during intense moments. Using 'Shabbas' for an elder is a 'social faux pas'. It implies you are judging their performance from a superior position.
The Gender Particle
Always add 're' for boys and 'ga' for girls to sound 100% like a native speaker.
Watch the Hierarchy
Never say it to your boss or your in-laws unless you want to sound like you're their teacher!
