Significado
Body temperature rising due to illness.
Contexto cultural
Fever is often treated with 'Barley' or 'Muri' (puffed rice) as they are considered 'light' foods that don't burden the digestive system during illness. There is a traditional belief that 'jwor' can be caused by 'evil eye' or 'batash' (bad air), though modern medicine has largely replaced these views. During monsoon, 'জ্বর আসা' is almost synonymous with a Dengue scare. People are very proactive about blood tests as soon as a fever arrives. Fever is a common literary device used to show a character's vulnerability or to bring characters together in a caregiving role.
The 'My' Rule
Always remember to use 'Amar' (My) or 'Or' (His/Her). Never use 'Ami' (I) with fever.
Don't 'Do' Fever
Avoid saying 'Jwor kora'. It's a very common mistake for English and Hindi speakers.
