意思
Trimming grass for animals or lawn.
文化背景
Cutting grass is often a communal activity for women, who sing 'Asare Pandhra' songs or 'Lok Dohori' while working. The 'Ghaansi' (grass-cutter) is a symbol of selfless service due to the story of Bhanubhakta Acharya. The sickle (hasiya) used for cutting grass is a major political symbol for the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist).
The Ghaansi Spirit
If someone calls you a 'Ghaansi' in a literary context, it's a compliment about your hard work and legacy. In a school context, it's an insult!
Verb Agreement
Always remember to use 'le' with the subject if you use 'kaatnu' in the past tense (e.g., Ma-le, Us-le).

Never say 'ghaans kaatnu' for harvesting rice or wheat; farmers might find it funny or confusing.
