뜻
Reprimanding someone for their mistake.
문화적 배경
In Marathi households, 'Kan Ughadni' is often followed by a period of 'Katti' (silence/not speaking) as a form of further discipline. Even in modern tech offices in Pune or Mumbai, a manager might use this phrase in a 1-on-1 meeting to signal that the feedback is serious but for the employee's growth. Famous humorist P.L. Deshpande often used this idiom to describe the quirky relationship between teachers and students in old Pune schools. Marathi newspapers like 'Sakal' or 'Loksatta' use this phrase almost daily in headlines to describe judicial activism.
Use with 'Chānglīch'
Add 'chānglīch' (good/thorough) before 'kan ughadni' to emphasize that the scolding was very severe. e.g., 'त्याची चांगलीच कान उघडणी झाली.'
Check the Hierarchy
Only use this when the speaker has some authority over the listener, or it might sound disrespectful.
