뜻
Politely asking someone to repeat their words.
문화적 배경
In Bangladesh, using 'Apni' is a sign of 'Adab' (etiquette). Even in modern startups, the formal form is used with superiors to maintain a respectful distance. In Kolkata, the 'Bhadralok' culture emphasizes clear, formal Bengali. Using 'Punoray' instead of 'Abar' marks you as someone with a good education. Second-generation Bengalis often struggle with the 'Apni/Tumi' distinction. Using this phrase correctly is a major milestone in heritage language learning. In formal emails or letters, this phrase is often written as 'অনুগ্রহপূর্বক পুনরায় জানাবেন' (Please inform again).
The Head Tilt
In Bengali culture, a slight tilt of the head while saying this phrase makes it look even more sincere and polite.
Avoid 'Ki?'
Never just say 'Ki?' (What?) to an elder or boss. It is considered very rude.
