Extract
- Definition given: "A degree of upset/grudge you hold against a loved one or someone you are close to. It is a 'softer' form of anger, disappointment or hurt you feel because of what someone very close to you did or said to you or another person who is also quite close or dear to you."
- Example sentences given: "Shanta is holding an obhimaan against her mother." / "I think my going to my sister's ex-fiancée's wedding will cause obhimaan."
- Independent corroboration value: this entry's gloss — a "softer," relationship-specific form of hurt/grudge, explicitly not equated with plain anger — closely matches the modern colloquial sense independently documented for Bengali by Mukherjee & Das (2018) and for the closely related Odia usage by Bag & Dash (2024), from a third, wholly independent (crowd-submitted, non-academic) source.
Gaps
