Finding or organizing time.
خلفية ثقافية
Punctuality is often flexible. Saying you will 'make time' is often a polite way to keep an option open without committing to a rigid minute. In offices, 'Samaya milaunu' is used by subordinates to show they are managing their workload effectively. It is considered rude to simply say 'I don't have time'. 'Samaya milauna sakina' (I couldn't make time) is the standard polite refusal.
Use 'Milaidinu'
When asking a superior to make time for you, use 'मिलाइदिनुहोस्' (Milaidinu-hos) to sound extra polite.
Avoid 'Banaunu'
Never say 'Samaya Banaunu'. It sounds like you are a god creating time out of nothing.
