意思
A huge difference between two things.
文化背景
The phrase reflects the 'Triloka' concept from Hindu and Buddhist mythology, where the universe is layered. This spatial thinking is common in South Asian languages. In Kolkata, this phrase is often used in political discourse to compare the 'Golden Age' of the past with the current state of the city. In Dhaka, you'll hear this often in the context of rapid urban development, comparing the old canal-filled city to the new concrete jungle. Authors like Rabindranath Tagore and Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay used this idiom to highlight the vast social divide between the rich 'Zamindars' and the poor peasants.
Use it for emphasis
Whenever you want to sound more like a native speaker, replace 'onek alada' (very different) with 'akash patal tafat'.
Don't use for small things
If the difference is small, this idiom will sound like you are being sarcastic or dramatic.
