Bedeutung
Trying to become calm.
Kultureller Hintergrund
Anger is often expressed through silence (Abhiman) rather than shouting. 'Rag komano' in this context involves talking and resolving the hurt. In busy markets, 'Rag koman' is a common phrase used by bystanders to de-escalate bargaining arguments. The phrase 'Matha thanda kora' is often used interchangeably with 'Rag komano' in the intellectual/academic circles of Kolkata. Many Bengali folk songs (Baul) speak of 'Rag' as a fire that burns the soul, and spiritual practice as the way to 'komano' that fire.
Use with 'Ektu'
Adding 'Ektu' (a little) before 'Rag koman' makes it sound much more polite and less like a command.
Causative Verb
Don't forget the 'o' at the end of 'Komano'. Without it, 'Koman' is the formal command, but 'Koma' is just the root.
