뜻
Expression of immense wonder.
문화적 배경
In Marathi culture, expressing wonder is often accompanied by a clicking sound of the tongue (tuck-tuck) or a specific hand gesture. This idiom captures that physical expressiveness. In dance forms like Kathak or Bharatanatyam, the 'Adbhut' (wonder) rasa is often depicted with wide eyes and a hand near the mouth, mirroring this idiom. In villages, this idiom is used very literally to describe the reaction of simple folks to modern technology or urban wonders. Famous authors like P.L. Deshpande used this idiom to describe the innocent wonder of his characters in 'Vyakti ani Valli'.
