Friend

A person whom one knows well.

🌍

문화적 배경

Friendship is often seen as a lifelong commitment. It is common for friends to hold hands or walk with arms around each other, regardless of gender, as a sign of platonic affection. In the Newar community of the Kathmandu Valley, friendship is celebrated through various 'Guthi' (social organizations) where 'Sāthī' work together for community service. The 'Rodi Ghar' was historically a place where young 'Sāthī' would gather to sing, dance, and find life partners. The 'Chiyā Pasal' (tea shop) is the modern hub for 'Sāthī' to discuss politics, sports, and life.

💡

Gender Neutrality

Don't worry about the gender of your friend; 'Sāthī' works for everyone!

⚠️

Honorifics

Even if someone is your 'Sāthī', if they are older, use 'Tapaīṃ' instead of 'Timi' to show respect.
