意思
Commenting on the cold weather.
文化背景
Winter is synonymous with the 'Poush Mela' in Shantiniketan. People use this phrase while walking through the fair, wrapped in traditional Kantha-stitch shawls. In rural Bangladesh, 'Aaj khub thanda' is the cue to start making 'Bhapa Pitha' (steamed rice cakes) over an open fire in the morning. The 'Monkey Cap' is a legendary winter accessory in Kolkata. If you say 'Aaj khub thanda', expect to see many people wearing them. For Bengalis living in cold countries (UK, Canada), this phrase is often used with a sense of irony or comparison to the mild winters back home.
The Magic Icebreaker
If you don't know what to say to a Bengali speaker in winter, just say this. It works 100% of the time.
Avoid 'Ami'
Never start this sentence with 'Ami' (I) unless you are describing your soul!
