意思
A person who is very dear and beloved.
文化背景
The word 'Nani' is also a common nickname for children. This makes the idiom feel very natural and grounded in daily speech. Poets like Laxmi Prasad Devkota have used ocular metaphors to describe the beauty of the Nepali landscape and its people. In folk songs, lovers often call each other 'Aankhako nani' to signify that they don't want to look at anyone else. In some Hindu traditions, the 'pupil' is seen as the seat of the individual soul (Atman) within the body.
Use for children
If you want to compliment a Nepali parent, tell them their child is an 'आँखाको नानी'. They will love it!
Don't overdo it
Using this for every person you meet makes it lose its value. Save it for the truly special ones.
