Signification
Offering good luck for an event.
Contexte culturel
During Dashain, the 'Shubhakamana' is often printed on colorful cards and banners across every city. During 'Mha Puja' (Worship of the Self), the wish is for personal prosperity and health. In Nepali offices, it is common to send a 'Shubhakamana' email to all staff on major holidays. On Facebook, Nepalis often use 'HBD' but will follow it with 'Janmadinko Shubhakamana' to show more respect.
The 'Ko' Rule
Always remember to put 'ko' after the event name. 'Dashain Shubhakamana' sounds like a robot; 'Dashain-ko Shubhakamana' sounds like a local.
Response is Key
If someone wishes you, a simple 'Dhanyabaad' (Thank you) is perfect. You don't need to repeat the whole phrase back unless it's a holiday.
