हजुर?

Excuse me?

意味

Polite way to ask someone to repeat

🌍

文化的背景

Using 'Hajur' is considered a sign of good 'Sanskar' (upbringing). Children are taught to say 'Hajur' instead of 'Ke' from a very young age. In professional settings, 'Hajur' is used as a 'verbal nod' to show you are following a presentation or instructions. While Newari is a different language, many Newar people use 'Hajur' when speaking Nepali to maintain the high level of respect common in their own community. In villages, 'Hajur' is sometimes replaced by regional honorifics, but it is universally understood and respected as the 'city' or 'educated' way to speak.

🎯

The Rising Tone

⚠️

Don't Overuse with Friends

If you say 'Hajur' to your best friend constantly, they might ask why you're being so formal!
