خلفية ثقافية
Winter is the time for 'Poush Mela' in Shantiniketan. 'Khub thanda' is the desired weather for these outdoor fairs. In rural Bangladesh, 'khub thanda' mornings are associated with 'Khejur Rosh' (date palm juice) collected at dawn. Bengalis living in cold countries often use 'khub thanda' to describe local winters, comparing them to the mild winters back home. Bengalis generally avoid 'khub thanda' water during meals, preferring room temperature or warm water for digestion.
Use it for AC
If you are in a taxi or office in Kolkata and it's too cold, just say 'Khub thanda, AC-ta koman' (Very cold, turn down the AC).
Feeling vs. Being
Never say 'Ami khub thanda' to mean you feel cold. It sounds like you are a vampire with no body heat!
