뜻
Playing with something seriously
문화적 배경
In both regions, this phrase is a staple of political rhetoric. You will see it in almost every protest banner regarding corruption. The 'villain' often uses this phrase to describe their own power, or the hero uses it to accuse the villain. It adds a layer of high drama. Classic authors like Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay used this to describe the plight of women in a patriarchal society where their lives were toyed with by men. Younger generations use it sarcastically when a friend is being indecisive about where to eat, though this is a 'light' misuse of the term.
Don't use for sports
Never use this for cricket or football. It sounds very weird to native speakers.
Use with 'Niye'
Always pair it with the postposition 'নিয়ে' (niye) to indicate what is being toyed with.
