뜻
To exert maximum effort and dedication towards achieving a goal.
문화적 배경
In Indian offices, 'I will try my best' is often used as a polite way to say 'I can't guarantee it, but I won't say no.' It's a way to maintain harmony while managing expectations. The phrase is a staple in dramatic climaxes, especially in sports movies like 'Lagaan' or 'Chak De! India', where the protagonist rallies the team. Indian parents often emphasize 'koshish' over 'results'. There is a famous saying that 'Koshish karne walon ki kabhi haar nahi hoti' (Those who try never lose). Rooted in the concept of 'Nishkama Karma' (action without attachment to results), the phrase emphasizes that the effort itself is the success.
The 'Ki' Connector
Always use 'ki' (feminine) before 'puri koshish'. Example: 'Sikhne KI puri koshish'.
Gender Trap
Never say 'Pura koshish'. It's an instant giveaway that you're a beginner.
