Contexto cultural
Getting ready for a wedding (Lagna) involves specific traditional attire like the 'Sari' in 'Sidha Pailla' style or 'Bandhani'. 'Taiyar thai jao' in this context implies a long process of dressing up. During the nine nights of Navratri, 'getting ready' means putting on heavy jewelry and traditional costumes for Garba. It's a point of pride to be perfectly 'Taiyar'. Gujaratis are known for their business acumen. 'Taiyar thai jao' in a shop or office often means being ready for a customer or a new deal. Before going to a Mandir (temple), one must be 'Taiyar' not just physically but also in a state of purity. It's a common morning command in religious households.
The 'Jao' Trick
If you forget the whole phrase, just saying 'Taiyar?' with a rising intonation works as a question, and 'Taiyar!' with a falling one works as a command.
Politeness Matters
Always use 'Jao' with elders. Using 'Ja' can sound very rude or overly demanding if you aren't close friends.
