뜻
Someone who has a lot of money.
문화적 배경
In Kolkata, wealth is often associated with the 'Bonedi' families (old aristocrats). Calling someone a 'dhonī byakti' here often implies they have a long family history of wealth. In Bangladesh, the term is frequently used in the context of 'Zakat' (religious almsgiving). Wealthy individuals are expected to calculate their wealth and distribute a portion to the needy. Among Bengalis living abroad, 'dhonī byakti' is used to describe successful professionals or business owners in the community, often with a sense of pride. In villages, a 'dhonī byakti' is often someone who owns a lot of farmland or a large 'pukur' (pond). Their status is tied to land rather than just cash.
Use for respect
When talking about someone's parents or elders who are wealthy, always use 'ধনী ব্যক্তি' instead of 'বড়লোক' to show respect.
Avoid 'Damī'
Never call a person 'damī' (expensive). It sounds like they are for sale!
