المعنى
Expressing pity for someone.
خلفية ثقافية
The word is often accompanied by a specific facial expression: raised eyebrows and a slight pout, showing that the speaker is genuinely moved. In the Kathmandu Valley, you might hear variations in the tone, often more melodic, reflecting the local Newari linguistic influence on Nepali. In villages, 'Bichara' is used not just for people but very frequently for livestock, which are seen as family members. Young people in Kathmandu sometimes use 'Bichara' ironically when a friend makes a very small, silly mistake, like dropping a french fry.
