뜻
To make an effort to do something.
문화적 배경
The phrase is often used as a polite 'maybe'. If someone asks for a favor, 'Main koshish karoon ga' allows the speaker to be helpful without being 100% committed. Poets like Allama Iqbal emphasize 'koshish' (effort) as a spiritual necessity. It's not just about the result, but the struggle itself that defines a person. Hosts often use 'koshish' to humbly describe their efforts to serve guests, suggesting that their service might not be perfect despite their best efforts. In schools, 'Koshish' is the most common word on motivational posters. The phrase 'Koshish karnay walon ki haar nahi hoti' (Those who try never lose) is iconic.
The 'Ki' Rule
Always put 'ki' before 'koshish' if there's a verb before it. It's the most common mistake for beginners!
Don't say 'Koshish Dena'
Even though we say 'give it a try' in English, in Urdu it's always 'do effort'.
