意味
Reading literature
文化的背景
Books are treated with extreme reverence. Stepping on a book or even touching it with your feet is considered a major social and religious taboo. The Goddess Saraswati is the patron of all books. During Saraswati Puja, students worship their books and pens. The phrase 'Kitab Padhnu' is often used by parents as a synonym for 'Study hard'. It carries the weight of familial expectation. Nepal has a rich tradition of 'Goshthis' (literary gatherings) where reading aloud is common.
Context is Key
If someone asks if you are 'reading', they often mean 'Are you still a student?'
The Foot Taboo
Never, ever touch a book with your feet in Nepal. It's a major cultural faux pas.

'Padhnu' is the act of reading/studying; 'Siknu' is the act of learning a skill.
Yes, for a book with only pictures, 'hernu' is appropriate.
