意味
To use time in a useless or unproductive way.
文化的背景
The concept of 'Adda' is often contrasted with 'Somoy opochoy'. While elders might call it a waste, youth see it as essential social bonding. In Bengali schools, 'Somoy opochoy' is a frequent theme in 'Bhab-somprosharon' (essay expansion) exercises. Many Bengali spiritual songs (Baul/Sufi) mention that wasting time in worldly pleasures prevents spiritual growth. In Dhaka or Kolkata offices, 'Somoy opochoy' is used to criticize bureaucracy and long lunch breaks.
Use 'Noshto' for friends
When talking to friends, 'Somoy noshto করিস না' sounds much more natural than 'opochoy'.
Don't use for money
For wasting money, use 'Taka opochoy kora' (formal) or 'Taka urano' (informal/slang).

If you use 'Opochoy' as a noun, say 'Somoyer opochoy' (Waste OF time). If as a verb, 'Somoy opochoy kora'.
The 'Adda' exception
Be careful calling a social gathering 'somoy opochoy' in Kolkata; it might be seen as being too 'dry' or 'corporate'.
