뜻
To do something with great intensity, often work or study.
문화적 배경
In hostels (PGs) across Delhi, UP, and Bihar, 'Pelnā' is the most common verb for any activity. It creates a sense of camaraderie and shared struggle against exams or work. Young techies in Bangalore or Gurgaon use it to sound 'earthy' while doing high-tech work. It’s a way to make desk jobs sound as physically demanding as manual labor. Commentators on informal platforms or fans on social media use it to describe aggressive batting. It’s almost synonymous with 'hitting a six'. Movies like 'Gangs of Wasseypur' use the word to establish a 'tough' rural-urban character. It signals that the character is from the 'grassroots'.
Gender Context
In very rough male circles, this word can have vulgar sexual connotations. Avoid using it when referring to women or in mixed-gender formal groups.
The 'Dabā ke' Pairing
To sound like a native, pair it with 'dabā ke' (intensely). 'Dabā ke pelnā' is the gold standard for describing a great meal or a hard study session.
