Significado
Stating that something requires immediate attention.
Contexto cultural
In Bangladesh, 'joruri' is often seen on red-colored government notices or emergency vehicles. It carries a strong sense of authority. In Kolkata, 'joruri' is frequently used in the context of 'Joruri obostha' (Emergency), referring to the historical political period of the 1970s. Among the diaspora in the UK or USA, 'joruri' is often mixed with English: 'It's very joruri!' to emphasize importance to children. Bengali business culture can be indirect, but 'joruri' is one of the few words that allows for directness without causing offense.
The '-i' trick
Add '-i' to 'khub' (khub-i) to sound more like a native speaker when you are stressed.
Don't say 'Hoy'
Avoid saying 'Eta hoy khub joruri'. It sounds like a textbook translation, not a real person.
