뜻
Starting a friendship with someone.
문화적 배경
Making friends often involves an invitation to one's home for tea (Chai). Declining such an invitation repeatedly might be seen as a rejection of the friendship itself. In Sufi poetry, 'Dosti' is often used to describe the relationship between the seeker and God. 'Dosti karna' in this context is a spiritual journey. Among the youth, 'Dosti karna' is often bypassed for English terms like 'Add کرنا' or 'Follow کرنا' on social media, but the core sentiment remains the same. In rural areas, friendship is often sealed with a shared meal or a promise of protection. 'Dosti karna' here is a very serious social contract.
Use 'Se'
Always remember the bridge word 'se' (with). Without it, the sentence falls apart.
Gender Agreement
Don't forget that 'Dosti' is feminine. This is the #1 mistake for Hindi/Urdu learners.
