Did you know?
- The word সুস্থ comes from the Sanskrit svastha, which literally means 'being in one's own center' or 'situated in oneself'.
- In Bengali culture, when someone is ill, instead of just saying 'get well', people often say shasthya bhalo hok, which literally means 'may your health be good'.
- While সুস্থ is used for general health, Bengali has specific words for 'healing' from a wound that are not interchangeable with 'becoming healthy'.
