意思
Taking good care of guests.
文化背景
Hospitality is so central that even in the poorest households, a guest will be offered the best seat and the only food available. Refusing food can sometimes be seen as impolite, so it's better to take at least a small bite. The Pashtunwali code includes 'Melmastia' (hospitality) as a core pillar. A Pashtun host is responsible for the safety and comfort of their guest, even if the guest is an enemy. Known for 'Pehle Aap' (You first) culture, hospitality here is extremely refined and involves very formal language and multiple courses of Mughlai food. Punjabi hospitality is loud, generous, and involves large amounts of food, especially 'Lassi' and 'Makhan' (butter). It is characterized by 'Darya-dili' (large-heartedness).
Use it as a compliment
If you want to make an Urdu speaker happy, tell them 'Aap bohat mehman nawaz hain' (You are very hospitable).
Don't say 'Dena'
Remember, hospitality is something you 'do' (karna), not 'give' (dena).

In Urdu culture, 'Mehman nawazi' almost always starts with a cup of tea, regardless of the time of day.
