Safe messaging for media
- Use the expression in its stated context; do not present it as a diagnosis or universal translation.
- Avoid describing a person by a stigmatizing term unless the person self-identifies that way and the wording is necessary.
- For suicide-related coverage, avoid method detail, sensational headlines, and single-cause explanations; include help-seeking information.
- Link to this entry’s evidence limits and distinguish contributor wording from analyst interpretation.

इस्तेमाल का संदर्भ
a source record links work in bad weather to feeding oneself; a source record connects early street work and asking for money to subsistence.
Learning from the accounts
Reported effects
Daily food and rent compete with savings for treatment; obtaining food organizes exposure to heat and rain.
Attributed origins
Poverty, unavailable employment and immediate household costs are explicitly given as circumstances.
Variation and visualization
The typographically unusual পেট চঅলে is quoted unchanged. It is read as a subsistence construction from its money-versus-rent sentence; it is not silently respelled in evidence.
क्या अनिश्चित है
Select food/livelihood, rather than bowel-function, from this context. The source does not contain the different idiom পেটের ভাত চাল হওয়া.
Commonness and evidence limits
Attested in two of the three reviewed interviews; the recurrent construction does not establish general hunger prevalence.
Relationships and comparison
These are scoped relationships from the research record, not claims of universal equivalence.
Synonyms and near-synonyms
No exact local synonym established by the cited selections; related and dictionary-sense relationships are recorded separately.
Antonyms and contrasts
No exact local antonym established. Contextual contrasts do not establish a universal lexical opposite.
Across languages
English: subsistence / getting by — Contextual livelihood gloss. Useful for পেট চলা here; literal food should be retained when the sentence is specifically about eating. [BEMLEX03]
অংশ গ্রহণকারীঃ মেঘের দিনে বৃষ্টিতে ভিজে, ঠান্ডা লাগে, শীতে ৩-৪ টা জামাকাপড় গায়ে দিয়ে কাজ করে। গরীব হলে পেটে ভাত দিতে গেলে অনেক কষ্টই করা লাগে।
অংশগ্রহণকারীঃ হ্যাঁ মসজিদে গেছি। মসজিদে ছোটবেলায় গেছি। যাইহোক গেছি আমি এই কড়াইলে গেছি। কিন্তু অন্য জায়গায় যাই নাই। তারপর পেটের ভাত জুগাইতে গিয়ে রাস্তায় নামলাম ।
