Signification
Feeling joy.
Contexte culturel
Happiness is often celebrated by distributing 'Mithai' (traditional sweets) to neighbors and relatives. The phrase 'Mashallah' is almost always used alongside 'Khush' to ward off the 'Evil Eye'. In Sufi culture, 'Khush' is related to 'Raza' (contentment with God's will). Young people use 'Khush' in a sarcastic way sometimes, similar to 'Good for you' in English.
The 'Se' Rule
Always use 'se' when you are happy with a person. 'Main tum se khush hoon.'
Gender Neutrality
Remember that 'Khush' never changes. Don't say 'Khushi' for a female subject!
