문화적 배경

The word 'Parwah' has roots in Persian literature and Sufi poetry. In South Asian society, caring for elders and family is a core moral duty (Dharma). This phrase often appears in 'Ghazals' to describe the selfless devotion of a lover.

💡

The 'Ki' Rule

Always remember that 'parwah' is feminine. So, if you care about 'him' (us-ki) or 'her' (us-ki), the connector is always 'ki'.

⚠️

Don't be too cold

Saying 'Mujhe parwah nahi' can sound very rude if your tone is sharp. Use it sparingly unless you really want to end a conversation!

What It Means

परवाह करना (parwah karna) is your go-to expression for 'to care'. It comes from the Persian word parwah. It implies a sense of concern or mindfulness. Think of it as the emotional weight you give to someone. It is not just a feeling. It is an action of the heart.

How To Use It

You use it like any other karna verb. You usually need the postposition ki before it. For example, meri parwah means 'care for me'. It is very flexible in grammar. You can use it in past, present, or future. It sounds natural in almost any sentence structure.

When To Use It

Use it when talking to your partner. Use it when checking on a sick friend. It works great when you want to look responsible. Tell your boss you care about the project. Tell your mom you care about her health. It shows you are a thoughtful person. It is perfect for those 'we need to talk' moments too.

When NOT To Use It

Do not use it for physical maintenance. You don't parwah karna your car's engine. For that, use khayal rakhna (to take care of). Also, avoid it in strictly legal documents. It is a bit too 'feely' for a contract. If you are just 'interested' in a hobby, this is too strong. Don't say you parwah for stamp collecting.

Cultural Background

In Indian culture, caring is often shown through actions. However, saying you care is becoming more common now. Traditionally, people might say 'don't worry' instead. But parwah carries a poetic, slightly romantic weight. It is a staple in Bollywood songs. It often appears in the context of 'who cares what the world thinks?'

Common Variations

The most famous variation is the negative: mujhe parwah nahi. This means 'I don't care' or 'I don't give a damn'. It can be very sassy or very cold. Another version is befikra, which means someone who is carefree. You might also hear parwah hai, simply meaning 'I do care'. It is a small phrase with a big impact.

사용 참고사항

It is a neutral phrase suitable for all levels of formality. Just be mindful that the negative version can be perceived as aggressive in polite company.

Bollywood Vibes

If you want to sound like a movie star, say 'Duniya ki parwah kise hai?' (Who cares about the world?). It is the ultimate cool-guy line.
