문화적 배경

In India, the concept of 'Atithi Devo Bhava' (The guest is God) means the host immediately tries to relieve the guest of their physical burdens. Using the word 'Luggage' (pronounced Lagej) is a result of the British influence on the Indian railway system, which is the lifeline of the country.

💡

The 'Hinglish' Factor

Don't worry about using the English word 'Luggage'. In India, saying 'Lagej' is often more common than the Hindi word 'Samaan' in urban areas.

⚠️

Watch the Ending

If you say 'rakho' to your grandfather, it might seem a bit rude. Stick to 'rakhiye' for anyone older than you.

What It Means

Lagej rakho is a straightforward instruction. It combines the English loanword Lagej with the Hindi verb rakhna. You are telling someone to set their bags down. It is functional and clear. It implies that the journey is over or a break is needed.

How To Use It

You use this when you want someone to stop carrying their bags. It is a command but can be friendly. Use it with friends, family, or service staff. If you are being polite, add a 'please' or change the verb ending. It is a very active phrase for travel days. Don't overthink the grammar here. Just point to a spot and say it.

When To Use It

Use it when a guest enters your home. Use it at a hotel when the bellboy arrives. It is perfect for the railway station platform. Use it when your friend is struggling with a heavy backpack. It works well in taxis when the trunk is open. It is the universal 'drop your gear' signal.

When NOT To Use It

Do not use this in a very formal business meeting. It sounds too blunt for a CEO. Avoid using rakho with elders; use rakhiye instead. If someone is holding something fragile, be more specific. Do not use it if the 'luggage' is actually a small purse. It might sound a bit sarcastic then.

Cultural Background

Indians are famous for carrying lots of luggage. We travel with 'bori-bistar' (sacks and bedding). Hospitality is huge in Indian culture. The first thing we do is take the load off a guest. Using English words like Lagej is very common in modern Hindi. It shows the 'Hinglish' blend used in every city.

Common Variations

For elders, always say Lagej rakhiye. For a very close friend, you might say Samaan rakh de. If you are asking a question, say Lagej kahan rakhun?. You can also use the pure Hindi word Samaan instead of Lagej. Both are understood everywhere. Most people in cities prefer Lagej because it is quick.

사용 참고사항

The phrase is neutral-informal. Use `rakho` for people of your age or younger. Use `rakhiye` for anyone you want to show respect to, like a boss or an elder.

The Luggage Struggle

No, it's the English word 'Luggage' adapted into Hindi. It is used so widely that it's considered part of everyday Hinglish.

The pure Hindi word is Samaan. You can say Samaan rakho and it means the exact same thing.

Yes, but for a single bag, people often just say Bag rakho (Keep the bag).

You would say Lagej yahan mat rakho. The word mat adds the negative command.

It's neutral. It depends on your tone. If said with a smile, it's helpful; if shouted, it's a harsh command.

You should say Lagej kahan rakhun?. This changes the command into a helpful question.

Usually no. For groceries, use Samaan or Thaila (bag). Lagej specifically implies travel bags.

In Mumbai, you might hear Lagej rakh de, which is a bit more 'Bambaiya' style and very casual.

Yes, if you want to leave your bags at a counter, you can ask Lagej yahan rakhun?.

Rakho is the command form, while Rakhna is the infinitive 'to keep'.
