意味

Adopt the customs of the place you are in.

🌍

文化的背景

Foreigners are often encouraged to wear Shalwar Kameez or Sherwanis. When they do, locals will delightedly say 'Jaisa des waisa bhes' as a sign of acceptance. In villages, speaking very formal Urdu can sometimes make you seem distant. Adapting to a more local, earthy tone is considered 'Jaisa des waisa bhes'. In the business hubs, Western professional attire is the 'Bhes'. Even if you prefer traditional clothes, you adapt to fit the 'Des' of the corporate world. Covering one's head in a Mosque or Gurdwara is a non-negotiable form of this proverb for visitors.

🎯

Use it for compliments

If you see a foreigner wearing your national dress, say this to them. It's a huge compliment!

⚠️

Don't overdo it

Adapting is good, but 'cultural appropriation' or looking like you are wearing a costume can be tricky. Be sincere.
