뜻
Attributing an unexpected concurrence of events to chance rather than intention.
문화적 배경
In North India, the word 'इत्तेफाक' (ittefaq) is often used interchangeably with 'संयोग' due to the influence of Urdu. While Hindi is not the primary language, the phrase is understood in urban centers like Bangalore or Hyderabad. Coincidences are often seen as 'kismet' (destiny), so clarifying it is 'just a coincidence' is a way to stay humble.
