뜻
Only the sufferer knows the pain
문화적 배경
The Khukuri is the national weapon of Nepal and a symbol of the Gorkha soldiers. Its presence in this proverb highlights its central role in daily life, not just as a weapon but as a kitchen tool. In Newari traditional feasts (Bhoye), the preparation of meat is a communal task where the Achano and Khukuri are constantly in use. The proverb is often used here to describe the hard work of the kitchen staff that the guests don't see. For Nepalis living abroad, this proverb is a common way to describe the 'hidden' struggles of immigrant life that their families back home might not understand. Many Nepali poets, including Laxmi Prasad Devkota, have alluded to the 'Achano' as a symbol of the oppressed masses in Nepal.

Don't be aggressive
If said with a harsh tone, it can sound like you are accusing the other person of being heartless (the Khukuri).
