उत्तर दिनु

उततर दन

Give an answer

意味

Responding to a question.

🌍

文化的背景

In Nepali culture, silence can sometimes be a respectful 'answer' if you don't know the topic, rather than guessing and being wrong. Students are often discouraged from 'answering back' (जवाफ फर्काउनु) in a confrontational way, which is a negative variation of 'उत्तर दिनु'. On Facebook and Viber, Nepalis often use 'Reply' (रिप्लाई) as a loanword, but 'उत्तर' remains the formal standard. In villages, 'उत्तर' might be used to refer to the 'North' direction more often than 'answer' in casual speech, where 'जवाफ' is preferred.

💡

Use 'Hajur'

Always start your answer with 'Hajur' when talking to someone older. It makes you sound very polite.

⚠️

Don't say 'Uttar Garnu'

Even though 'do an answer' makes sense in some languages, in Nepali it is always 'give' (dinu).

Texting Shortcut

In informal texts, people sometimes just write 'ans deu' (short for answer deu).

💬

The 'Hajur?' Answer

If someone calls your name, saying 'Hajur?' is actually your 'उत्तर' (answer) to their call.
