Signification
Engaging in a physical struggle.
Contexte culturel
In Kolkata, 'maramari' is often associated with 'Para culture'. If a fight breaks out, the whole neighborhood might get involved to stop it or take sides. In rural Bangladesh, 'maramari' can sometimes involve traditional weapons like the 'lathi' (bamboo stick), though this is becoming rarer. Action heroes like Dev or Jeet are famous for their 'maramari' scenes, which are a major draw for audiences. Among the intellectual elite, 'maramari' is seen as the ultimate failure of 'torko' (debate). A 'bhadralok' should never resort to it.
Don't use for arguments
If you say 'I had a maramari with my boss', people will think you actually punched your boss!
Use 'legeche' for spontaneity
Say 'Maramari legeche' to sound more like a native speaker when describing a fight that just started.
